Family Fun at the TX Fair

We were so excited to get to go to the TX State Fair again this year and even better it didn't rain like it did last year (although I did miss seeing Oprah like I did last year).

We kicked-off our day by going on the 212-foot ferris wheel (well minus Jon, he isn't a fan of those heights), lots and lots of rides for the kids, a yummy lunch, more kid rides, a sweet treat break...my favorite being the 'fried cookie dough', then the kids pretended to 'work on the farm' and just before the end of our fun filled day Paige took part in the 'Circus'.

Yup, that little head you see is Harlow who fussed the entire ride because she really wanted to squeeze her head between the safety bars

Aiden was bummed he didn't meet the height requirements to ride all of the rides his big sister Paige did but some he just needed an adult to ride with, Jon and I enjoyed taking turns riding with our little man.

Happy Harlow

Sweet treats at the Fair...I didn't get a picture of it but I tell you the fried cookie dough was the BEST!

Paige was a beautiful butterfly

Such a great day, we can't wait go go again next year!

Do you Boo? WE DO!!!

So cute in matching glow-in-the-dark skeleton pj's and armed with glow-sticks!

So sorry I haven't been updating my Blog, I guess once Paige started school it's just been busy busy with one thing or another but hey, at least I am back and that's what counts right?

Halloween is my favorite holiday, so many great decorations, fun crafts to do with the kids, so many fun traditions (like 'Boo-ing'), pumpkin patches, costume parties and of course trick-or-treating Halloween night.

Ok, so one of my favorite traditions to do with the kids is to go 'Boo-ing' and it doesn't really cost anything to do since you probably have some of it around your house already. Just grab a bag (any size will do), fill it with some goodies/candy (I usually do small Halloween favor type toys topped with some candy) and don't forget to include the instructions about the 'Boo'. I found these FREE super cute printables over at Lil Boo & Co.

Grab some glow-sticks for the kids and head out to get your 'Boo' on, the kids will love it and if you get lucky you might get a 'Boo' back! We do it every year and have also been lucky to get a 'Boo' back as well :)

Here's some of our 'Boo-ing' pictures from Monday night...

If you buy Halloween toy favors from Oriental Trading they will last forever, I swear I have been using the same little favors for years now along with these bags ;)

So excited to go and 'Boo!'

Jon explaining to Aiden what to do...

We were hiding at the side of the house, waiting to hear the door open and close before we went on to do another. We usually 'Boo' 2-3 houses.

Hope your all enjoying the month of October as much as we are.
