Halloween

Saturday morning after all the trick-or-treating was done, Andrew dumped all of his and Mylie’s candy out on the living room floor and sorted them. Ever since he has learned to write, he has a fun time making lists. So he made a list in his journal of each kind of candy and how much he collected of each kind. He then proceeded to take a survey of each family member on how they would rate each candy on a scale of 1-10 (10 being their favorite). His analog spreadsheet became cumbersome and I introduced him to the data collection joy of an excel spread sheet. We quickly entered his data and he proceeded to survey Grandpa, Nana and Cousin Sean. The data is below.

Andrew finds the joy in actually talking to the people and collecting the data. I think it is interesting to see what candy people like and hate. Feel free to copy and past the list below into an email to me, take the survey yourself and I’ll repost the results in a couple days.

Also below are some pictures of Andrew and Mylie in their Halloween costumes. (Andrew won an award for the scariest costume and Mylie is The Purple Power Ranger (her own design)).
