Halloween

A monkey was the first animal Isla learned to identify.  She is very good at making monkey sounds.  Her monkey is a close rival to dog Jared gave her for her birthday so we decided to make her a monkey costume for Halloween,  She was a pretty cute little one if I do say so myself.

 We got really festive, Watts-style and enjoyed a delicious meal of Monster Guts (green salad) and Ghost's graveyard (Shepard's pie with Ghost-shaped mashed potatoes and olive eyes on top).  But the homemade pumpkie ice cream pie with chocolate rice krispie crust really made the evening.

 Isla was insistent that Halloween includes candy.  Sooo yep, she trick-or-treated to our sweet grandma neighbors house for a Twix.  Not the greatest picture but it was for documentation sake.
