Ah you guys are great. Thanks for humoring me and my counting game.
So the first time I counted the candy, I counted 99. If I hadn’t found four suckers stuck in the interior knitting of the bag, Yvette would have been spot on. Lucky for late-comer Kieran and lollipop-craver Ava, I did find the suckers bringing the total to 103.
So neither previous-winner Shanel nor near-winner Yvette will claim the prize. And while I would love some Norwegian chocolate, 81 isn’t close enough. With a guess of 100, boy wonder Kieran is the winner!
Congratulations Kieran!
How any 3-year-old brings home 103 pieces of candy after visiting less than 30 houses is beyond me.
How many pieces did she eat on Halloween? One. Yes, just one. A pink Tootsie Roll.
How many pieces has she eaten since? Three.
How many pieces are left in her stash? Never going to tell.
How many pieces will be left after I’ve posted this post? Nah, not going to share that either.
So, congratulations again to you Kieran!
The Minstrels are in the post.
Hurrah!! Minstrels for me, oh, sorry, I mean Kieran. Wow, I had no idea there were that many candies in her bag. Way to go Ava!
Upon telling Kieran that he won (I hadn’t really told him yesterday that it was a contest…just had asked him how many candies…) and would be getting a prize of candy in the mail from Ava’s mom, he just wants to know WHERE his candies are and can he go to the mailbox.
Thanks for the contest, the prize and for the opportunity for lessons in waiting, delayed gratification, and the Postal System. Oh, yes, and in winning:)
Way to go, Kieran! Except, wait Rach…I still haven’t seen my prize from the last contest:) – shanel
Ah, so close. Congratulations Kieran!
