The State Fair and Halloween Festivities!!

I've been slackin on the bloggin so I have a big post here of the past couple months! In September we went to the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot! It was pretty fun! It wasn't any different than any other fairs we've been to except for the yummy fried potato spiral things we got and the huckleberry lemonade! They were so good! Here is Corban riding the rocket!!
They had a little kids center with different activities like milking the cow and roping the bull! Here's Corban roping the bull!
And riding the tractor bike!!
Then we went to the petting zoo! He thought he was so funny riding this goat!
Brighton Loved the puppy!!!
This is the yummy Huckleberry lemondade...
and the yummy fried potatoes!! Gotta love fair food!!
In October the week before Halloween we went to a pumpkin patch at someone's house in Rigby! I was a little disappointed...it was an ugly field with a bunch of nasty rotten pumpkins all over the place!! They said they would have a scarecrow for pictures but they didn't have it when we went! Next time we will go to a real pumpkin patch! So we got a couple pics of the kids to say we went and got our pumpkins and left!
He wanted a pumpkin but had to pee really bad! haha
Then this past Friday night the night before Halloween I decided to let the kids paint their pumpkins since we hadn't carved them and Halloween was the next day! haha I'm such a slacker when it comes to carving pumpkins! Clifford was at work so I let the kids have at it! It was fun to watch them get all messy! Here's Corban painting away!!
Brighton wanted to help so I let her...
I turned my head for a couple seconds and this is what I saw!! haha Corban decided to paint his sister! lol It was pretty funny!!
She was havin so much fun!
Corban has been bugging me to paint his silver Iron Man toy red so he was asking me while painting the pumpkins! I told him we didn't have red that we would have to go buy some red paint! Then he said he wanted to paint it blue since we had blue at that moment so I said are you sure bud? He said ya so he did! Here is him with his blue Iron Man toy now! haha Whatever floats his boat! He's happy now! haha
Then last night on Halloween Clifford had to work again till 10 so I took the kids with our friends Chase and Jeri and their 2 kids Emma and Seth (who are the ones that I babysit) to Chase's parents house in Chester Idaho for their "town" trunk or treat at the park! haha The town has like 300 people total in it! haha The kids had fun though and got a ton of candy! Corban was in heaven! After the trunk or treat we went to his parents house and had cake and ice cream for Seth who turned 1 on Halloween and the kids played in their huge backyard! Corban had so much fun playing with all the boys! Brighton was just taking it all in at the trunk or treat so I didn't really get a smile from her! haha Here's me and here just arriving!
I talked Corban into taking a picture with me and Brighton! haha
He's happy to get candy!!
Little duck eating her sucker and loving it!!
Here is Corban the bumblebee transformer and Emma the princess!!
Seth the dog and Brighton the duck on our way home!
It was a fun night!! We wish Clifford could have been with us too! Thanks so much Chase n Jeri for letting me come with you guys! Corban ate so much candy and didn't eat his dinner that he ended up throwing up at 5 oclock the next morning!! Eww! I knew it was gonna happen though! He did it last year too! I learned my lesson so next year he will eat dinner and not have a ton of candy! I hope everyone else had an awesome Halloween! I am so excited for Thanksgiving and for the wonderful holiday season!!!
