The Multipurpose Monkey and Last Minute Costumes

This was the first year I didn't have my costume planned out before Halloween. The last six years or so I would have to dress up for school. Jacob had his toasty monkey costume all ready to go, and I was going to feel wierd and boring if I didn't dress up. So we figured Steve and I would have to go with the monkey somehow. He became the Man in the Yellow Hat, thanks to his mom's quick creativity. (He's so nice to dress up with me!) And thanks to Steve's sister, Kimmie, I was magically turned into Dora the Explorer- thanks to her supply of a pink shirt, orange skirt, yellow socks, and little black wig!

(Just in case you don't know who these classic characters are.)

We Trick or Treated to one house across the street.

And Jake had a quick accidental taste of a tootsie pop. Happy Monkey!

Hope you had a fun night, too!
