A Monkey for Halloween

Jonathan was a monkey for Halloween this year. We hung his monkey in his bedroom and whenever he would see it, he would make the monkey sounds: "Oo, oo, oo!"

We took him over to the church Saturday night for Trunk or Treat. Jonathan didn't really understand what it was all about. At first, I had to hold his bucket and his hand. After he got some candy in the bucket, he held the bucket on his own. He really got the hang of it after he got to reach into a few bowls of candy and pick out what he wanted.

We didn't make it around to everyone at Trunk or Treat because a huge hailstorm came rolling in. We made it to the car right as the downpour started. Jonathan wasn't going to let go of his candy bucket for anything so we ended up getting a little wet because we couldn't get into the car fast enough!

We let Jonathan have a couple of pieces of candy when we got home so he ate a sucker and a candy stick. When it stopped raining, Chris took Jonathan to a few houses in our neighborhood. First thing this morning, Jonathan saw his treat bucket sitting on the table and wanted to start in on the candy again. I didn't think that candy would be a good breakfast so he got fruit snacks and milk instead!
