Just for kicks

So I decided to surprise my kids at school with a little visit on the 100th day of school.  Natalie of course tagged along. The love Baby Natalie, as they call her.  I gave them a challenge of creating something out of  100 mini marshmallows and 100 toothpicks. I put them in groups and some were very creative. One group created a campground with roasting sticks and a car! Another group created a jungle gym, and another an ice cream shop! Sometimes I just like to see where their creative minds can go.
On to the good stuff......the night before, I was preparing by separating the marshmallows and toothpicks into little baggies for each group. I asked Brian if he could help so it wouldn't take me forever to count. See if you can figure out which was my way of counting toothpicks, and which was the "engineer" way to count.


And the answer is..........



HAHAHA! This gave us (well mainly ME) a good laugh!
