Cars 4 / Candy Canes 0

So, part of my Christmas decorating in Middlebury included unlighted candy canes edging the driveway. Within the first week, Mike hit a patch of mud backing down the hill of our driveway and took out the first candy cane. The UPS lady got the next one delivering packages. Yesterday we got very wet snow - great for the snow forts the boys started building, bad for driveways. We made a trip to Elkhart today to run errands. When we came home, Mike began sliding around as he accelerated up the driveway hill. I asked him to stop and let me and the boys out so someone would be alert to call 911 when he slid off the drive and rolled the Trail Blazer off the side of the hill. He laughed, but out we got. As Mike kept trying to park on top of the hill, he kept sliding, ever closer to the edge of the drive to go sideways off the hill. He managed to stop and asked Steve to come get one of the candy canes so the car did not take out another one. Unfortunately, the slippery drive was also very slippery walking and Steve did a body slam on to candy cane casualty number 3. As Mike continued to slide down the drive (literally, breaks on, no tires moving and he still slid back down the hill about 30 feet) number 4 was crushed into several tiny pieces. We have about a week left until Christmas, and 8 candy canes remaining. Wonder how many I will have to pack up and re-use for next year. Mike wants to begin a pool - the person coming closest to the actual number of candy canes left by December 26, without going over wins.....all the ones that are left
