Alex wanted to be a cowboy for Halloween 2000. I thought it would be funny if we named him Matt McGraw, thus completing the McGraw family. With Matthew (Matt), Mark, Luke and John, the McGraw boys are named after the four gospels.

For Halloween 2001, the two older boys wanted to be pirates. Alex kept saying he also wanted to be a pirate, but changed his mind at the last minute.

Alex really likes Cowboys and one of his favorites is Woody from Toy Story.
