Yours is great, too! Remember, I've got a great Cruella cape and wig in my stash (and plenty of princess costumes when Eva gets older).<BR/><BR/>I wish I would have remembered to get a picture of Sarah and her friends sorting their candy last night. It was fun to listen to their bargaining process.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987963844682886629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397651.post-44531521377105787332008-11-01T20:53:00.000-06:002008-11-01T20:53:00.000-06:00i think you look smashing!!i don't know where i wo...i think you look smashing!!<BR/><BR/>i don't know where i would even store 34 quarts of juice!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366031457587496623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397651.post-74906409647826463442008-11-01T18:30:00.000-06:002008-11-01T18:30:00.000-06:00I am seriously impressed with the grape juice!

You got some good mileage out of that costume.<BR/><BR/>That Jack Skellington pumpkin is awesome! Wow, wow, wow.<BR/><BR/>The sorting of the candy was always a highlight for me too. Whitney was sorting hers last night by shape...what the??<BR/><BR/>I agree that's it's sacrilege to dilute the grape juice!

A favorite smell is all of those candies mixed with an apple and popcorn ball thrown in for good measure. The apples were always mellow, it's not like I liked them, it just gave a Halloween smell to the bag.<BR/><BR/>What? You don't dilute grape juice? Oh my. You're stout. Your tastebuds are good and hardy not washed out like mine.Neighbor Jane Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11524394383695366513noreply@blogger.com
