Purple in Fall

I love the fall colors, especially when the leaves changes colors. It just look so immaculate that you can't help but appreciate. Our DD1 maybe inherited her liking fall from me. Every time we go out and see the leaves she is so vocal in her appreciation.

One time when we got home from church she saw the short tree in front of our unit and she exclaimed to me, "Mommy picture, beautiful leaf", while picking the leaf on the ground. As always I am bringing my camera with me I was able to fulfill her wishes.

I just thought she look lovely in her purple tutu dress with a red colored tree in the background :-) Love my own! :-)

Halloween Costume

This post is overdue already. I know Halloween had passed and I totally forgot that I made a draft about what we did during Halloween. Our DD1 was bugging me that she wants to go trick or treating. I told her that if it ain't raining we are going. I also promised last time that this year I will get me a costume to wear for trick or treating.

When we went to the store to buy costumes, I really didn't find something that I like. When DD1 choose the princess dress I was looking at the adult costumes if there is one similar to what she like. Good thing I saw the empress costume that matches with hers so I ended up buying it.

We wore the costumes on October 30 during the trunk or treat activity of one of the church near us. Our friend invited us and I like the idea since we don't have to walk through many houses. It was just around the church's parking lot. We all had a great time except for the incident where my car was locked while it was still running. That wasn't cool at all. But I learned my lesson and our DD1 did enjoyed her 2010 Halloween.

Playing Doctor for Halloween

Guest post written by Tina Fowler.

My son is really excited about the idea of becoming a doctor when he grows up and he's really smart so I think that he can pull it off. Plus, it would be nice to have a doctor at all of our family functions. But for now he's just going to dress up like a little doctor for Halloween this year.

We didn't have hardly any of the things that we need for his costume, so I started looking onlien for it almost a month ago with my clear wireless internet. It's a good thing that lab coats aren't really that hard to come by and I was able to find one pretty easily. Then I even made a fake doctor badge for him and bought some little laminate paper and a clip to clip it onto his lab coat.

Finding a little fake stethoscope was a lot harder, but I tracked down one through a little kids play doctors kit that I just ended up ordering offline. HeÕs going to be such a cute little doctor!

Decorating for Fall Season

Since autumn is here, have you started decorating yet? I know here in the US you have to dress also according to the weather and also if you like it, decorate your house each time season changes. What I did in the past was keep my decor every time the season change. I have few home decors that I have to dig out now since fall is here already. Some of my fall harvest center pieces are already out although it's all on top of our cabinet in the kitchen.

I still have to buy some stuff for decor even though I have kept some from previous years. I am still needing a Thanksgiving tablecloth since I sent to Philippines the one we used in 2008. Last year we spent the Thanksgiving with friends so I did not bother getting a new one. I also need table pads and table cloth protector. When we got our new dining set I was thinking of getting new ones but until now we still have the old ones. I found nice autum home decors online at bed bath store.com. I like their stuff and affordable too.

But before the harvest decors that I am planning to get before November, my husband was asking me about Halloween home decor. He asked me if I am planning of decorating for the Halloween. I may have to since our daughter gets excited seeing halloween stuffs. We went to a spirit store last week and she can't contain her excitement. I was able to get her one big pumpkin bucket and a small one. I know trick or treating is still a month away but she is so excited already.

There is so much to do if you are planning of making decor changes every season. But if you have kids that will appreciate and happy of what you prepare, everything is worth the effort. Their happiness is your joy as well. Check out the online store I mentioned above. You can find tons of great things at an affordable price.

Christmas Pose

Our little girl is loving the camera nowadays. When we had our get together on Christmas eve, my friend took a photo of her. She coached her to pose and the picture on the side is what came out.

She likes to wear bling too. When we go out she always ask for her purse and head band. If I will not give it to her then we can't get out of the house. She's now 31 months and she's learning a lot. She is also a copy cat. Whatever I do especially when we are at the bathroom she will copy me.

She is funny little girl and I am enjoying her more each day. She can be a handful but she is very sweet and affectionate. She like to help and always say 'love you Mommy'. It just melt your heart when she says the words.
