We had 850 gumballs last month.
I can't tell you what a LOT of gumballs that is!! I refilled a glass canister
on my counter over and over and over and.......well, you get the idea.
Everyone that came over, went home with a ziplock baggie full of gumballs.
The neighbor kids kept asking if they could have one every single day, I
finally said "you can have as many as you want and you don't have to ask"
they could hardly believe it.
Shay came in yesterday and went straight to the gumballs, watching me out of
the corner of her eye. She took one out while watching me still and I smiled
and walked off.
I think she still doesn't totally believe her luck.
Anyhoo....
The last time I filled the canister was quite a while ago. It is still half
full.
So from the first fill up to the last, there has been a huge slow down in the
desire for gumballs!!
