We have a monkey!

Despite my doubts about Zoey's Halloween experience, she DID end up wearing her entire monkey costume, much to her father's and my delight.

We just didn't give her a choice: it was basically "come on, let's go to Ari's house, put on your coat", and that was that. We had forgotten that she'll do anything to go to Ari's house, so putting on the dreaded monkey coat was actually no big deal. So we collected her Abby bucket and an extra banana ("two nana!") and we were on our way.

I'd say we managed to trick-or-treat at about a half dozen houses. Zoey and Ari just followed wherever we were going, looking a little confused but nonetheless excited to see so many kids outside after dark running around in the streets. They were totally adorable in their costumes, walking up to each house and clutching their treats in their hands afterwards, with no idea as to why they were being handed candy at the houses of people they don't even know.

It was a late night out for little Miss Zoey, and a very exciting one at that. We're just happy she wore the entire outfit. Let's hear it for our little monkey!!
