Halloween Trick or Treatin' 2014!


My kids and I visited The Forum last weekend for our first Halloween Hirit for 2014. We were #teamfrozen for the day :)

This was like a dress rehearsal for our Hans and Anna costumes prepared for Allson and Allison's bash this coming November 8th. I had Aton wear a dress I bought the day before, which was a little big for her since she lost weight from last week's confinement (bad dengue!). The dress resembled a bit of Elsa, thus, we are #teamfrozen.


GE Volunteers, HealthAhead Healthy Nutrition and Fraud Solutions also held this year's Healthy Trick or Treatin'
for the students of Food for Hungry Minds. Of course, my kids can't be absent on mommy's office's event! Aton was in school (and she cannot be absent), so I was only able to tag the two little ones with me. They dressed up as a cat and a witch (who didn't want to wear her hat).


Of course, that cat was a DIY costume, hand-tailored with love :)

And we brought home these goodies:


On the 31st, I had the two little ones visit SM Dasma in the morning for an early trick or treatin', and Ate followed us after class. :) The two indians dressed up as Batman and Princess Anika :)


When their ate came, we had lunch to celebrate her birthday at (where else?) Kenny's. The staff sang a happy birthday song for our celebrator.


Mom brought the kids home while Aton and I stayed for the Costume Contest. We joined the "Fairies" category thinkibg that the theme would be fairies talaga. When we came though, there were a lot of kids wearing princess anna, princess elsa,  spiderman, hulk, and batman. Asan na yung fairies dun? Ayun. We weren't that prepared so we just got away with whatever we had handy. We didn't have a headdress and a wand. So I got that blue glittery leaf thing from the christmas tree, and bobby-pinned a couple onto Aton's hair.


These were the times you'd wish that your make up pallets' shades are complete. My pallet's mostly nude and pale. Good thing I have one pink lipstick! That's all we have for Aton's look here:


Buti na lang she's pretty! No make up needed. Hehe...

Anyway, back to the TOT thing, here's what the two little indians brought home from SM City Dasma on the 31st:


Now for the last leg of my indians' trick or treatin', we visited The Summit Ridge Tagaytay City on Nov 1st. We dressed up as #teamwizardofOz.


That's Dorothy, Glinda (the Good Witch of the South), and Scarecrow. Too bad, mommy didn't have a picture. I was the Wicked Witch of the East with my red shoes and black and white striped socks.

That scarecrow was obviously DIY :) I got some dried grass from the manong egg vendor, and sewed them on Allson's old 3/4's and hat. I found some thick fuchsia craft paper and sewed them on his pants to look like patches. Easy :)

Aton wore the same dress from our tot at the Forum. This time, ibang character naman! Hehe.. This was the peg kase:


The kids enjoyed the activities at the event. There were games, coloring activities, face painting, bubble and magic show, and a costume partey!


We had a hefty lunch at the hotel's Classic Cuisine. Great food! And i feasted on their blueberry cheesecake! Haha.. All-time favorite! 

Our table was reserved for a certain Lorie VErata. Oh, was that me?! Haha..


The girls also enjoyed the snack buffet. 


And according to Aton, it was the best buffet ever!



The kids were given bags of looties after the party..


We so enjoyed this day! After party, we stayed for almost an hour so the kids can play pa.





For sure, we'll visit the Summit Ridge again next Halloween 2015. Their package was so sulit! And we all had fun!


For the love of my three little indians,

Xoxo,

October is Here!

It's October again! This means a lot of party preps for me. And a bunch of trick or treats to get ready for.

Will have more than a couple of DIY's here. Starting off with the costumes...

Our trick or treat and birthday party will be Frozen- inspired. So we'll have an Elsa, an Anna, a Prince Hans, and an Olaf. (Guess who's gonna dress up like Olaf?? Hahaha)...

Anika will be wearing her Ate's old dress (that one she wore on our wedding). I'll make a cape for her from some leftover satin from a previous project.


This tutorial kinda helped.

Aton will be wearing a powder blue ball gown. 


I had their dresses drafted but we had revisions when I showed her how I wanted her dress to be. She'll be wearing a haltered top instead of an off-shoulder. It pretty much looked like Cinderella but still resembled Elsa since we used some soft tulle and galaxy tulle for most of its highlights.


Allson will be Prince Hans. He'll be wearing an old pair of navy blue pants, his black school shoes, an old polo under a black vest we bought from Little Prince. Looks like I will be DIYing his tie for this.

And frugal mommy plans to wear a white tee and a white pair of shorts. I'll sew three black appliques for the shirt,

Trick or Treat 2013. Super Late Blogging.

Halloween's the time of the year when aton gets herself ready for some fashion experiments. But this year, her mom was quite busy. we weren't able to prepare much for Trick or Treat.

Keber though! LOL. My kids were still fab for Trick or Trick!

We just got whatever we already have in our closets. Except for Anika's costume, which I got from a thrift shop in Kadiwa for I think, 50pesos...


It's a porcelain doll's dress. It's quite long and the armholes are tight, and it needed a little fix. So I did some adjustments to make the dress fit my princess :) 

Here are my three little indians on their Bellefort Trick or Treat:


And these are their candy bags-- an old pumpkin pail, an emptied glue pail (from APO  cement), and a furry bag:


We also joined SM Dasma's Trick or Treat on the 31st:


I had them wear their old costumes (anika wore the same costume from our previous t/t event)..


Truth is, my legs would really ache every after a trick or treating event. Should i care more? What's important is.. my kids are enjoying. Kahit paisa-isa lang magbigay yung ibang mga tenants, they're always happy with what they receive. And at the end of the day, i'm sure that my indians had a blast. :)


For the love of my three little indians.

Xoxo,

One Trick No Treat Day

I went home early today since I was on VTO by 11:58 PM Manila time.  Was just excited for trick or treating with my kids.




I was torn between joining the costume contest in SM Dasma or Molino and visiting AAVA.  I just thought that the first option will be more practical but still opted for the second one.

It was a wrong choice. :)

We should have joined the contest instead. Allison could have won the Most Fabulous Costume. LOL

We left the house at 11AM, delivered a dress in Carmona then headed to Alabang Town Center for a few treats. Today is Allison's 4th Birthday by the way. My bad, I was not able to treat my little girl for her big day.:( We had lunch @ the Food Court since we can't decide where to eat.  Their dad goes for Tokyo Tokyo, while

No Tricks, All Treats Trick or Treating Day Call Off :(

I came home from work at around eight o' clock in the morning.  Did the last run for the petticoats I am scheduled to deliver in the afternoon.  I haven't slept yet since yesterday as I was held with gazillions of unexpected errands.  I was quite exhausted but I had to finish everything I was set to do for the day.

After the petticoat job, I made a little witch hat for Allison to suit her posh and sophisticated witch outfit I sewed two nights ago. I got ourselves ready-- bathed the kids, prepared the bags, packed the dresses for delivery, etc.




We arrived at Robinson's Place DasmariƱas a quarter past noon.  The manong dropped us off the Governor's Drive entrance and we noticed a ton of people waiting outside.  We moved to the Aguinaldo Highway entrance, and saw the same scene.  We heard people talking about an ongoing robbery inside the mall, in a money changer near the supermarket.  We were barred from entering the establishment then.  After an hour, we decided to call off the day's plan and move to SM Dasma instead to book Pizza Hut for the kids' birthday.

We headed to Pizza Hut and had a hearty meal.  Some cream of mushroom, spaghetti carbonara, fried chicken, pizza and caesar salad.  We finalized the kids' party schedule and set off.

 

That was the day for my dearest Allson and Allison.  They were not able to trick or treat @ the Rob Place because of that heist.  Allison was so ready with her get up pa naman...:(

We were back home before three in the afternoon.  I just changed bags and left again to deliver the dresses and the fitting form to Carmona and from there, went straight to the office without rest.

Poor me :( LOL

My Kids' Trick or Treat Attires

The practical and resourceful mommy that I am :)

For Allson, I had:
  • some scrap fur material @ 40pesos/kilogram from a factory in Batangas (his entire costume consumed only about 350grams of fur. )

For Allison, I bought:
  • 5 yards of black soft tulle @100pesos
  • elastic @20pesos
  • black shades @35pesos
  • black pantyhose @30pesos
  • tiara @150pesos
  • black shoes @150pesos
