This year we decided to celebrate Halloween at our house, in our neighborhood. Last year we drove Jack around to my mom's friends and didn't actually do much trick or treating. I figured this year with a "wild monkey" and a scared banana in tow, we might have more luck a little closer to home.
Jack was all prepared...having gone through several dress rehersals at Zoo Boo, our Toddler Time Group and Ashley's work trick or treating. The kid actually didn't mind his costume because he knew it was going to get him some candy. He was so anxious to get started, he was actually crying as we kept him on the porch.
Monkey on the loose
Jack enjoyed taking his pumpkin up to the houses and getting candy from people. How quickly they learn with such sweet positive reinforcement.
The other highlight of the evening was Jack walking his "banana"...my sister's dog Ema. Ema was terrified and will never enjoy Halloween again, but Jack loved every minute of it. We only ended up making it to 8 houses...but with a monkey and a dog dressed as a banana...I don't think that was too bad. Next year our goal will be to make it to 10 houses in less than an hour.
