Halloween 2011

I had this Curious George theme idea for a couple years and Brett arrived just in time to add the finishing touch.  Keith- The man with the yellow hat (and shirt, and tie, and pants....it's funny how they only mention the hat.).  Grant- Curious George.  Brett- A Banana.  Me- One tired mom in a yellow jacket.  I was going to put a little more effort into my costume and at least wear a wig, but when I went to find it I realized that I'd packed stuff like that away when we made room for baby #2's bedroom.  Oh well!

Luckily I'd gotten the costumes for Grant and Brett a couple months ago.  And Keith pretty much took care of his costume with the help of my mom.  They found the clothes and hat at Goodwill.  Then Keith died them yellow all by himself and spray painted the hat.  I whipped up his tie out of some felt and hot glue that I happened to have on hand.  Ta da!

Grant had so much fun cruise'n around Grandma & Grandpa Jackson's neighborhood in a wagon with his cousin Jackson.  Doesn't Jackson make the cutest little nurse?  His parent's were dressed up as nurses too.

As cute as our little monkey and banana were, Keith got the most comments on his costume from other trick-or-treaters.  We heard lots of, "Hey, it's the man with the yellow hat!"  Not once did I hear, "Hey, it's the woman with the yellow jacket!"  I feel so overlooked!  ha ha ha!  :)

I think he pulled off the look very well, don't you?

Grant LOVED his monkey costume.  He loved everything about Halloween.  Well, except for the guy at one house that had a very scary mask on.  And the best part is that Grant doesn't even realize that all his loot is in a bag on top of the refrigerator & Mom and Dad are eating it.  He loves M&M's so I give him a few of those each day.  I think we'll need to get rid of it soon or I'll never lose the rest of my baby weight!

Hope you had a fun Halloween too!
