This year we decided to dress as characters from the children's book, Good Night Gorilla! The story is about a Zookeeper (Me) who walks through the zoo telling the animals Good Night. The first animal is the Gorilla (Monica) who takes the Zookeeper's keys and unlocks the cages of all the animals. The animals follow the Zookeeper home and get into bed with him and his wife (Mike). When his wife says Good Night Dear.. all the animals say Good Night too. It startles her and she takes them all back to the zoo but the Gorilla and his friend, the mouse, follow the wife back home and get into bed with her and the Zookeeper again. Samuel dressed up as an elephant and Mariah was a giraffe which are some of the animals in the book. It was a lot of fun.

After Trick-Or-Treating we came back to the house and I put Samuel's Spider outfit on him that he wore last year. He really enjoyed his spider outfit. He was so good about wearing the hat and he kept his elephant hat on too. He had fun walking up to the houses and getting candy. You could barely hear him say thank you but he would say Byeeee really loud and wave. I wasn't sure how he would do with getting candy and leaving it in his candy pail but he did great. He didn't try to eat any of it until we got home. He is such an awesome little boy.
