[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 96407, member: 1233"] When my oldest was in 1st grade (age 5) the class was learning about graphs. So he snuck the candy out and sorted it and made a graph of EXACTLY how many pieces of each kind he had. Ever since then the candy is graphed, usually by child then it all goes into a bowl and is graphed again!! Jess even did pie charts this year, with percentages!! Nutty kids. All the candy is in a huge bucket, they usually have it for a few days at most. Thisyear I haven't been up to putting it up. The big buckey is on the floor of the living room and they have forgotten it!!! I do find that "family" candy, easter baskets, even a family goodie present works much better for us. The kids each have a bag or basket to put eggs in at Easter, but the "Easter Basket" is to the entire family. It has about 4 pieces of candyfor each of us, a book for each kid an a famiy DVD. Maybe a beanie baby. And no one squawks about the halloween candy disappearing from the family bowl, because that is just how it is done. Crazy crazy holidays. [/QUOTE]
