Halloween

I know it is only half way through September, but I am already thinking of Halloween.  I love Halloween because 1) it is so fun to dress up as all sorts of crazy things no matter how old you are, 2) I love seeing all the little kids dressed up and ultra excited for their candy, 3) it's my brother, Wes's, b-day so we always had VERY fun Halloween parties growing up and I am going to keep that tradition alive, 4) and I LOVE all of the candy to munch on for a couple of weeks (okay, sometimes it only lasts a couple of days).

Anyway, I figured out what Ellie is going to be for her first Halloween.  I was shopping at Old Navy today and found the cutest monkey costume.  It is a full body costume so all you can see is the kid's head.  Well, I thought it was perfect for my adorable niece Kalie because she loves monkeys.  You may be wondering what this has to do with Ellie.  Well, I then saw a BANANA costume for babies!  It is pretty much the cutest thing you will ever see.  So, Kalie is going to be a monkey and Ellie is going to be her banana! I cannot wait to see them together.  I'm thinking maybe Greg and I will be zoo keepers, but we'll see.  Any ideas??  I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!
