monkey

It all started when we decided that two pairs of pajamas weren't enough. Somehow we kept finding ourselves out of clean PJ's for Elijah, and decided we needed more. The cutest pair Costco had at the time had monkeys all over it, and for some reason Elijah instantly fell in love with it. His other PJ's have a bear on them, and he likes bears, but somehow doesn't really think it's all that cool to have one on his PJ's. But the monkey pajamas are a whole different ball game. So, when Grandma asked what costume she should get for Elijah for Halloween, it was a no brainer. He was meant to be a monkey this year. (If you look closely, you'll see that even his shoes have monkeys on them.)

Elijah didn't go trick-or-treating, but he did visit Grandpa and Grandma's office in the morning (below), and then helped hand out candy in the evening. He was quite interested in the bowl of candy, mostly for the sole purpose of dumping it out on the floor, but we kept it well out of his reach. And if you are wondering if he got any candy, the answer is no. The only desert type thing he gets once in a while is jello (unless you are counting the carrot cupcake from his first birthday).
