Happy Halloween!

Alex was a member of the Lightning McQueen pit crew this year for Halloween. Rather than hitting up the neighborhood we went to Hallzooween at the Minnesota Zoo for trick-or-treating. It was nice because it was inside and they gave out a variety of things rather than just all candy. Alex did a great job going up to the stations to get his treats. If it were up to him, he would just hold all of his treats in his hands but he started to realize after awhile that there were too many things to hold and the bag came in handy. I think he was pretty tired out by the end of the day because he actually asked to go "night-night" tonight.

Checking out the loot!

Pumpkin Carving

Alex and I carved our pumpkin yesterday. He was intrigued by it and was a good little helper. He'd pick up the seeds that fell out but wanted nothing to do with touching the goop with his hands.

Elk Mound

We spent a nice weekend at the farm visiting Andy's parents. These pictures didn't turn out great but you can at least see Alex in his new farm clothes.

New Trick

I was surprised to walk into Alex's room yesterday morning and see him hanging out in his diaper. He has apparently learned how to take his pajamas off and has done it the last two days. He's so proud of himself for doing it too. I guess I should just be thankful that he hasn't attempted to take his diaper off too.

Little Feet, Big Shoes

There's just something so fun about wearing Mom's and Dad's shoes around the house.
