Halloween 2012

My kids dressed up as a soldier and Snow White for Halloween. Too bad hubby was on duty that night, only the kids and I went trick or treating. It was extremely cold and roads were slippery so after two blocks, we decided to head home.

I'm so glad Leila stopped dressing up as a furry animal this year hehe. And the best part? I scored next year's Halloween costumes at 75% off. I'm just hoping they won't change their minds next year :P

Halloween 2011

I got so wrapped up with Halloween and Leila's birthday. Two fun occasions but then again, enough to stress out mommy. Thank God for the treats, mommy's smiling again :D

The kids brought home several treats from school that day and since they're both wearing their costumes (Lance dressed up as a pilot and Leila as an elephant) already, we brought them to the mall where they did a bit of trick or treating receiving mostly suckers. I have never seen our mall jam packed as it was during Halloween. Kids and adults were all wearing costumes except me :D

We then proceeded to our friends' neighborhood before trick or treating in our neighborhood. The end result? So much sweets, chips and various treats. What's funny is that the kids didn't seem excited about the chocolates afterwards. I think they were more excited on the act of trick or treating itself. A few candies after and they're like ignoring everything. I had to sort them out and place on different canisters to differentiate all the candies.

The kids had so much fun that day, me too I guess, except for the very cold weather that night. Seeing the kids so energetic and excited about Halloween, hearing them shout trick or treat and the smile on their faces every time they got treats, so priceless! I can't wait for next Halloween :D

Thank--FULL!

A recap of the past week:

October 31, the kids had their first trick or treat experience. They had so much fun and couldn't get over how much fun Halloween was. After Halloween, almost all the treats were 50% off not to mention discounts on the costumes and decorations as well. I guess there goes the trick? or is that the treat?

November 1, we got our most awaited and important document!!! Yahooo!

November 3, it's Leila's 3rd birthday!!! It was also Lance's special day in school so Lei spent the afternoon in school playing, playing and playing! I bought cupcakes, hot dogs and marshmallows. Her party wasn't until Friday so we just had to greet her until Friday.

November 5, PARTY DAY!!! It was Lei's 3rd birthday party and Baby Rain's 1st month. I cooked spaghetti, BBQ, fried chicken, crispy pata, inihaw na bangus. There was also kare-kare, dinuguan, papaitan, shanghai and pancit prepared by Milet and Arni. There were 3 kinds of cakes, cassava and brownies. Great party even without alcohol!

November 6, we woke up late around 11am, ate some leftovers and decided to go to Calgary to visit the Lego store. Lance was so excited since he is crazy about Lego Star Wars. Sensing that this trip was for Lance, Lei said, "Happy Birthday Kuya!" He just picked out a couple of Lego Star Wars characters and a key chain for Daddy.

Ended the week by putting up the Christmas tree and wrapping presents. After the Halloween and birthday, now they can't wait for Christmas!
