She IS a monkey. She had no idea what was going on, but she was happy to be with both mommy and daddy. We took her to about 5 houses, and she didn't realize she had a loot until the very end. The last picture is Emma discovering she had some goods on her. Drew and I went to the fabric store the week before and had picked out a pattern for a skunk and bought fuzzy fabric and everything...lesson #1,001: ask yourself, "am I REALLY going to make this?" before spending $25 at a craft store. Really, you have to take a hard look at yourself and your time-frame, and your sanity.
To make a short story long, we ended up with this monkey suit made from Emma's brown jogging suit, some fuzzy fabric, some felt for the ears, a few safety pins, a cut up towel for the tail, some more safety pins and some make-up for her nose. Done in 10 minutes!! Lesson learned.
This last picture is classic Surprized -delighted- excited Emma. She looks scared, I know - but she isn't.
