Paper Bag Parade

I've been thinking about Halloween costumes for my kids, so let's talk Halloween:  For those of you who went to Two Rock (sorry, Karl), what did you make your paper bag into for the paper bag parade?  Also, did you like that idea, or not?

I always wanted to wear my regular Halloween costume, since Mom made awesome ones, but I appreciated the creativity aspect, and Mom said it was to level the playing field, with the migrant worker kids that went there, so I was cool with it.

I remember being:

A cabbage patch kid (looked like Merlina, with a pacifier and stuff)
A gypsy (won that year)
A computer... that was also a red sox fan (I finished too early, so I kept adding stuff)

Note the floppy disc drive and the disc storage thing above it!
and oh my goodness, I think I'm holding a cord!

I remember a kid in my class winning with this awesome fly costume one year, and I think that same kid was a toilet once - with a houseplant and a roll of tp and everything.  It was awesome.  One kid was always a peacock, because he could get peacock feathers at his house.

I'm betting Karl would have been something sports related... or a plain paper bag. :)

Test post and welcome.

So here was my idea.  An old idea.  I remember running it by a couple of you a year or two ago (sheesh).

Someone posts a topic (Once a week?  Sundays would be a good day.) and posts about it.  Then everyone adds their story to it in the comments.  Like... favorite birthday party, lunchboxes, bikes, stuff like that.

Kinda just fun, kinda family history.  And Jorgy Sibs only.

Let me know if you have any problems posting, or want to change things up in any way.

Okay, so remember to subscribe so you can see when it's updated, and let's go!  You in?

*edit - you can write in the comments OR make your own post - either way - posts are better if you have a picture to share anyway.
