Halloween Math

This morning I sat with my kids as we sorted, grouped and counted their Halloween candy - it was really Princess' math homework and not to be undone, Prince joined in the fun.  So I thought I would provide Princess with some additional math facts to chew on ... the next time Halloween falls on a Saturday, you will be 8 + 7 ... yes, my Princess will be 15.  This means, our next Halloween Saturday party will look nothing like the one we had last night.  Yet one more reason to remember that we should savor these moments (rushing from one Halloween party back home to another Halloween party combined with trick-o-treating). Exhausted at the end of the day? Sure!  But with math facts like these... need I say more?
