Oh yes, Oh Yes, It's Christmas!

It's 28 days till Christmas and as early as Friday last week, we already put up our Christmas tree.
The little boy helped in hanging the ornaments and even pushed the button to officially light the tree.
He was so excited and happy when he saw the decorated Christmas tree.
For my next agenda this weekend, shopping & wrapping Christmas gifts! ( I love wrapping christmas gifts...hehehe)

Jeremy busy helping Mommy

We're done!

Trick or Treat '08

I would like to share my son's Trick or Treat pictures last October 31 at his Ninang Carmela's place together with her kids Ate Camille, Kuya Ross, Ate Claire and Tita Maita's Baby Linc.
We all had fun trick or treating even though it was cold outside...hehe.

Happy Family Trick or Treating!

Mom's Sunday Treat

I splurged myself with this Canvas SB Trench Coat at Forever 21 yesterday.
It's already fall and the weather is getting colder that's why I decided to treat myself with this cute trench coat...my pre-Christmas gift huh. =)
Besides, the last time I had a new coat was right after I gave birth. Time to buy a new one. LOL!

Jeremy's Kumon Activity

One of my son's favorite thing to do everyday is his Kumon activity.
He already finished the two workbooks, the Let's Color & More Let's Color.
I'm so proud of Jeremy, he can now trace the alphabet letters & knows a lot of colors!
He does not know yet how to hold the pen & colors properly, but I know in time he will.
It's also our bonding moment together. I love doing the Kumon activity with my son.
My favorite is the Let's Sticker & Paste....hehehe.
For those who have kids ages 2 & up, I highly recommend the Kumon Workbooks.

LET'S COLOR!

ABC'S WRITE & WIPE!

I heart NewYork

This is our New York photo ref magnet souvenir which hubby bought in Ebay. We went to NYC last Sept. 4-8 with our good friends Matts, Bea & Ryan. It was also our post 4th wedding anniversary celebration.


Places we visited in NYC:

Sept. 4: Rockefeller Center & Empire State Bldg

Sept. 5: Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, China Town, Time Square & watched the musical Little Mermaid

Sept. 6: Manhattan Movie Sites Tour

Sept. 7: Mass @ St. Patrick Church, Central Park, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Serendipity 3

Complete photos of our vacation in my Multiply account.
It was so much fun to visit the Big Apple. I really fell in love with the city. =)

The Flash!

Jeremy will be "The Flash" this Halloween's trick or treat. We bought his costume two weeks ago at Halloween Express. It took us awhile before we got a costume for our little boy. We went to Disney Store couple of times looking for a costume that will suit him just like we did two years in a row, but we're not able to pick one for him. I remember when we first saw the Nemo & Lightning Mcqueen costumes in Disney store, we knew immediately we found the right costume. When we went to Halloween Express store, we spent 1 1/2 hr looking again for our son's costume. When we saw the Flash toddler costume & tried it on to him, ayun na, Perfect! Not to mention the price, it was on sale...tipid pa. He was even running in the store wearing the costume, portraying the real character hehehe. It reminded me also of Eddie Murphy's movie, Daddy Day Care, a 3 1/2 boy named Tony who wears Flash costume 24/7...hehehe.
Our little boy is in his terrible 2 stage right now, running around the house suits him as our little Flash.

Spreading the Christmas Spirit

Got tagged by Jovie. Here’s something nice to go around to spread the spirit of Christmas as early as now. Starts here. It’s so simple. Copy the photo below then write your blog and your wish this Christmas 2008. Your wish has to be something PRICELESS and SELF- LESS… something that money can’t buy… something that another person will treasure dearly.

1. Bits and Pieces by Jan: I wish Gino and I will be able to convince friends to help us sponsor a simple Christmas party for the children of White Cross Children’s Home in San Juan.

2. The Wifey Diaries by Jannesse : My birthday falls on the 22nd of December. I have always wished to spend it with orphaned or abandoned kids. I’d be super happy to spend my birthday with them. That way, they get early Christmas presents from me. Oh, and can I wish for a baby, too? Please?

3. The Versoza Inc. by Con: I’d like to have a simple Christmas party for all the children of our employees. Times were hard on our company this 2007, but still, the Christmas Spirit should not be overpowered by it. Christmas is about family. So our Christmas party should not be for employees only, but for their families as well. Also, I wish our clan would make it a tradition to have a Christmas gift giving project. My Tita Doi started it last year with the Antipolo church children. I am looking forward to this year .

4. Mommy On Top: I wish I could help a couple of kids (both are related to my kids’ nannies) finish their education so they can, in turn, help their family earn a living. I could try and help them find a job, but without finishing their studies, they can only go too far. With a diploma or at least some certificate of formal education, they could do so much and reach farther. I hope my efforts in hooking them up with this certain NGO will come out with favorable results.

5. Coffeenchoclate : We hope to sustain an extended help for a few elders and be able to increase aid to another few elders before the year ends.

6) My Yoga Mat by Christine: I wish that we would have a great Christmas in our new home (we'll be moving to Tarlac before the year ends). I also hope for my son to have a great birthday (this december also). And that I could be able to provide and help my husband ( I need a job!)

7). A Multiple's Choice by Jov: First of all, I wish my entire family good health and continued prosperity :) I also wish I can give out cool presents for my family, something they really want to receive. Second, Keith has been wanting to sponsor a Christmas party for an orphanage. I hope I can organize one in his name as a surprise gift for him. Third, I cant wait to have our annual family pic with Lori, my new pamangkin :)

8) D!V!NE'S CRIB by Divine: I wish to get pregnant again, the best gift I can give to hubby this x'mas! Of course, good health & happiness for my 2 boys & our families back there in the Philippines.

Feel free to grab this christmas tag!

A Short Conversation With My Son

Out of nowhere, I asked this question to my 34 month old son:

Mommy: Jeremy, do you want a baby sister?

Jeremy: No.

Mommy: How about baby brother?

Jeremy: Yes, baby bother! ( silent R ...hehe)

Mommy: Ay no, son...baby sister na this time!

Jeremy: No, baby bother! baby bother! baby bother!


Haaay, there you go. I got my answer. I guess he's ready to be a Kuya, he wants a baby brother nga lang...ayayay!

I Love Fall!!!

My favorite shows are back...yehey!

Jeremy's birthday greeting

Last July 27, Dada celebrated his 30th birthday.
I had a surprise avp for him during the party, a slideshow of his photos & birthday greetings from his family in the Philippines & close friends.
I would like to share my son's birthday greeting in the avp.
Super happy ang Mommy while taking the video.
Normally, he won't stay that long in front of the video or camera. Nakipag-cooperate s'ya with matching birthday kiss pa...hehe.
Of course, super happy din ang birthday celebrant. =)
