Sometime in September we got this crazy idea that my 6 year old son, who we fondly call "monkey boy" should dress up like a banana, and my husband would dress up like a gorilla chasing after the big banana! It was such a hit this Halloween. The two of them hammed it up like crazy and everyone at school and while trick or treating just LOL'd when they saw there little schtick.

The costume itself was great and held up to a lot of abuse.  We stuffed the head with paper towels and the front with tissue paper. My son wore a long sleeve black shirt and black sweat pants and didn't even need a coat. So easy - Great costume!
