Celebrations!

The past few days have been joyful and busy...and the comings weeks as well.

Last Saturday, there were many reasons to celebrate. One, it was Halloween and Liam was again in his costume. Last year, he was an angel. This year he was a Dracula.He was so "game" as shown in his pictures, he knows when to act in front of the camera and have his monster face! I loved taking his photos!




Two, last Saturday, it was a triple celebration -- Halloween Party for the CFC kids, my baby shower and my 32nd birthday. The weather cooperated. We were thankful that even if it did drizzle a little, the weather was not as rainy as they predicted it to be. And even if our home was just too little for all the well-wishers, I think everyone enjoyed the celebrations.










Third, the next day, Sunday, it was my Kuya's turn to celebrate (and treat us). We went to Parramatta and ate at Carne Station, a Korean BBQ Buffet Place. Ate a lot! Burp! The gang of 6 had a blast!




Now, it's November already! Christmas is just around the corner and on the first day of November, we decided to put up our Christmas tree and some Christmas decors! Liam is sooo excited!





And finally, 21 days froms now (or less), we will have our second bundle of joy, Andrea Samantha! No pictures to be posted yet. But as soon as she's here, you'll see her right away.

I am happy because these celebrations are all reflections of God's blessings! Looking forward to the coming days and the future celebrations!

If Only For the Kids

My birthday is fast approaching and it only means one thing -- Halloween is also fast approaching! It's the time of the year again when we see too much of ghosts, monsters, pumpkins, bats and the other scary stuff! Well, this year, it will not only be my birthday and halloween, but it will also be my baby shower.

As I have mentioned on one of my blogs, my CFC friends have organized a double celebration on my birthday. But aside from that, they are planning to have Trick or Treat as well for the kids, who are anyway present on the occasion (you know, no yayas to leave them with). At first, I didn't want to do anything, I was thinking, "hey, it's my day, so I won't lift a finger in helping in the preparations, it's my baby shower right?" But the organizer and the mom in me ruled over. Yes, I would want to be pampered and do nothing on that day (I even don't want to cook!), but more than that, I would want the kids, with my kid, to have an enjoyable time as well. So here I am now, eating my words.

I went to the shops today and bought the lollies, prizes for the games, and the house decors! Pumpkins, bats, witches, scary jellies, giant lollies! I have listed down the games for the kids and how many winners will there be for each game. I am excited to make our garden, one scary garden even for one day! Yes, I would still want it to be "my day" ...but hey, if only for the kids' laughters and happy faces, I can very much and willingly, give that up.

I just hope the weather cooperates...please Lord, let the weather be fine...if only for the kids ;)
