October has been a fun filled month. We spent a day at the Arizona State Fair and then two days celebrating Halloween. Lets start out with the State fair.
Ever since we moved to Arizona we always say that we are going to make it out to the state fair. Every time we drive by and see the large ferris wheel Zach sighs and longs for a smoked turkey leg and funnel cakes. We finally made it out this year. We had to scope out all of the food stands and walk down the aisles so Zach could choose just the right turkey leg stand with not too long of a line. So Zach got himself a turkey leg and we sat down and ate. Then we went over to the animal barns. It must have been sheep and cow week as that is pretty much the only animals besides chickens and ducks. Chloe was fascinated with the animals. She watched with bright wide eyes at all the animals. There was one little sheep that was bahing and so then Chloe said in a real quiet voice "ah ah ah". It was cute. Then after the animals we walked around people watching and Chloe was staring at all the lights. She did so good and had a good time. Zach was able to get his funnel cake on the way out so all in all it was a good trip.
So after our State Fair stink wore off it was time to get ready for Halloween weekend. We looked through alot of costumes and because it is still in the 80s outside we didn't think a large furry costume would be a good idea. So we decided on Minnie Mouse. We only had to get the ears and a pink shirt as we already had the tights and skirt. I just had to sew on white circles and BAM she was Minnie Mouse. Then Zach was wondering what he should be and he decided to be Mickey. We just had a get a few things for him and I sewed on large white circles for buttons and yellow felt on his shoes. It was then his idea to paint his nose black. I'm pretty sure Zach had the better time dressing up as he was all smiles while Chloe barely gave any smiles while she was dressed up.
On Saturday we went with Sabrina and the kids to the local ballpark for a Halloween festival. It was fun. The kids and Zach were in a costume contest/parade and there were a ton of rides and bouncy houses for the kids. Chloe and Allie pretty much stayed in the wagon, but we still had a fun time. Zach went on a ride with the boys too. We spent a couple hours there and then we went through the drive through at McDonalds. Zach was still in full costume with ears and all. The people laughed and he was pretty proud of himself.
On Halloween night we went over and met the Fischer family to go trick or treating in their neighborhood. Zach pulled the wagon with Allie and Chloe while the boys ran from house to house getting candy. Chloe was holding on for dear life in the wagon. It was really funny. Allie was just talking up a storm. Finally the last few houses Chloe and Allie started talking to each other and Chloe loosened up her grip a bit. It was a great evening. Chloe got Zach and I a lot of candy to eat.
It has been a great month of festivities and November will bring another great month. Chloe will turn 1, my mom will be out, Zach's parents will be out here and we will find out if we are having a girl or boy the mid-end of November. Another great month to look forward to!
