Happy Halloween, Happy Birthday!!!

This day has been a very long day for the kids and me. Our morning started with Trick or Treating at the SM City. It was a congregation of superheroes, princesses, witches, wizards, cartoon characters, etc.


waiting for the GO signal...


Kuya Jeremy as an Aikijutsu Sempai


Ate Frances as Princess Aurora

And of course...



Josef Blake as Casper, hehehe...( apil sad siya oi)



Kuyog pud mi kung asa ang panon :D



Jeremy, Frances Clare, and their friend Frances Prudence



I had to keep calling her to stop and wait for us. Pirme ni sya magdangan, hadlok mahutdan hahaha



Nakatulog...



They were inseparable...



Happy, happy, joy, joy...



There's this man who was giving out candies to the kids too. Maybe it's his way of keeping the tradition alive :)

After exploring all of SM's wings, they were all exhausted...



But still, they compared notes...Well, they weren't able to fill their pails up to the rim, but the whole experience was well worth it. They surely had fun, and that was more than anything else. Happy Halloween!!!

In the afternoon, they kids were in for another round of fun and games. They were invited to the first birthday of John Philippe, the twins' cousin. Jeree and Franee enjoyed the games along with their friends.

Happy Birthday Andi!!!

Yesterday was my niece Andi's 2nd birthday. We were in Tagaytay last year to celebrate her first birthday. Since we are miles apart, Mama-lo decided we will be having a cake and simple dinner here in Cebu to celebrate her birthday.

Mama-lo in action...


Ta dah!!! Andi's cake!!!


Ate Franee was more than willing to blow the candles for her...


...and sliced it too.

Frances Turns 6

The Birthday Girl

Happy Birthday, Baby Love

As I'm typing this, the clock is about to strike midnight. I'm hoping to get done by the time it's officially October 3, my Baby Love, Frances Clare's 6th birthday. I just hope she gets to read this blog post by the time she's interested in reading blogs already. I just want her to know that Mommy and Daddy couldn't thank God enough for giving us such a bubbly girl like her. We couldn't forget that joyful day she came to this world through me ( via caesarian section at that). Our first meeting was very unforgettable. From the time I was lying down on the operating table at 1:00pm till the time she was pulled from my tummy at 1:10pm, I was eyeing on what was going on the whole time, so excited to meet her. It was a big feat for me already having to brave the sight of scalpels, blood, seeing my tummy opened, and all. For me, this was a different kind of meeting after having pre-eclampsia during Jeremy's birth. That time, I was under general anaesthesia and was fully unaware of what happened then. And though, we were equally happy when I gave birth to Kuya Jeremy, it was only during Frances' birth when I was fully aware and was there to welcome her into this world. Baby love, please know that the doctor immediately noticed your cute dimples after a few minutes you came out from my tummy and exclaimed, "Pretty, pretty!!!" That's how you are and will always be. Happy Birthday Frances Clare! We love you!
