Dino-mite Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Our little dinosaur had lots of fun with Halloween activities this fall.  It was very special for Zander to wear the same costume that both Cousins Luke and Brady wore when they were toddlers. Here he is earlier today at his school costume party:
You can see his tail in this shot:
Mmm... cookies and cupcakes! 
We had a fun dinner at Cousin Luke and Brady's to start out the evening.  Then it was on to Trick-or-Treating!  Zander started out pretty reserved again this year, but eventually warmed up and got in the rhythm... he did pretty well with both his "Trick-or-Treats", as well as his "Thank Yous".
 Zander especially enjoyed visiting Baby Amanda - she was dressed like an adorable kitty cat!
Zander couldn't believe how big Amanda is getting!
 All smiles...
Closing out the evening with Cousins Luke & Brady:
What a fun night! 
A few weeks ago, Zander stuffed pumpkin tree-hangers at Luke & Brady's - here the boys are putting leaves into the bags.
 Nice work, Luke!
 ...and Zander.
 Aunt Heather hung the pumpkins in one of their trees while the boys played:
Nana Pat asked Mommy to take a picture of the three boys with the pumpkins for Great Aunt KK (KK and Nana coordinated the supplies - thanks!) - photo: much easier said than done!
This past weekend, Zander's school had a Fall Festival, complete with Trunk-Or-Treating.  Here we are on our way to the party:
 Dino-N-Daddy:
 Picking a treat!
 Checking out some of the many decorated trunks:
The school brought in some animals for the festival - here Zander is checking out a kangaroo!
 The camel was really interested in Zander, especially once he noticed Zander's bag of treats!
 Look at those fancy trunks!

We decorated the pumpkin with a silly face:

 Woo Hoo!
