Samthingwonderful @ 6

Last Saturday, we celebrated Sam's birthday. She had a simple My Little Pony birthday as she requested for it.

This year, we opted not to print out invites. Instead, we created a Facebook account to invite close friends and relatives.Electronic invites were also sent.

For Sam's outfit, we weren't able to look for my little pony dress, so I bought her this cute Hello Kitty dress instead. I paired it with a pink boots. I also bought a violet Princess Bubblegum blouse at SM. Her Tatay bought her a cute pair of pink Crocs.

Decorations this year were simple but colourful.

As a treat for the kids, my mother and I made this colourful mallow pops. Thanks to sis ACI for the help on how to melt the chocolate. :)

We prepared food for Merienda and Dinner.

For Merienda (afternoon snack) we had the following:
Spaghetti
Pancit Palabok
Goto with Tokwa
Puto and Dinuguan
Fried Chicken
Hotdogs on stick
Fried Lumpia
Pichi Pichi
Buchi

Additional food were served at 5:30 PM which in included Chicken Pastel and Embutido.

To keep the kids busy, I prepared these activities for them! :)

For their first activity, I've searched printable my little pony colouring pages on the internet.

I've bought boxes of crayons and gave them the colouring sheets. It kept them busy while their parents are savouring the delicious meal prepared for them.

After their first activity, I advised the parents to get food for the kids so they can eat before proceeding with our second activity.

The kids loved this activity the most. We ordered plain cupcakes with just pink frostings and bought different kids of sprinkles at a local shop. Sam have chosen 4 kids to win the award for the "prettiest cupcake design" and I bought cute ballpens as their price.

After the cupcake decorating activity, kids were asked to fall in line to get their mallow pops from Sam.

It's now time for Sam to blow the candle. Kids were asked to gather around and sing the Happy Birthday Song for the birthday girl. We got the birthday cake and cupcakes from Meleri's Baked Goodies.

Both the cake and cupcakes are not that sweet and are moist.

We wrapped the day for the last activity that we prepared was Face Paint for the boys and Paint your Hoofs (using nail polish ) for the girls. I did the facepaint and my good friend Pauline for the nail polish! Thanks Tita Pauline!

After the party, it's time to open the presents!

Thank you everyone for celebrating with us! Shout out to Ninang Candy for helping me prepare. Tita Pauline for the help in the Nail Polish Activity and Tita Ericka, Tito Romel and Calyce for the delicious cake and cupcakes!

Sam's Halloween 2014 feauturing me as other kid's makeup artist

Let me tell you how my daughter Samantha spent her Halloween. I mentioned in one of my blog entries that Sam wanted to dress as Maleficent for Halloween.

So we went to our favourite seamstress to have her Maleficent dress sewn. It only cost us Php 400 (including the labor)

For the head dress, it was my mom who made it. Materials were headband, tissue cardboard roll, wire, aluminium foil, masking tape, bonnet and black paint.

For Maleficent's Staff, my uncle used a thin curtain rod and a Christmas ball and painted it black.
Then we glued Sam's toy bird at the tip and painted it black too.

The first Halloween Party Sam attended this year was at Kumon Kawit. I was not able to go with her because we have a client in the office and I needed to be there for HR matters.

My cousin Mai did her make up.

Next was the school Halloween Party. At first we did not want to attend because we will be attending her classmate's party in the afternoon. I was also able to file for a leave for that day. I also became an instant makeup artist for some of her classmates.

This is Sam with Steff (left) and Bea (right). I did their last minute Halloween look. The night before party I coordinated with their mom (Ate Leng) to check what their Halloween costumes are. She sent me their dresses and thought of what look I am going to create with their outfits.

For Steff, I just created a Skull like mouth. I can't do anything with her eyes but to put a little blue makeup on it since she's already wearing a mask.

For Bea, (well she's actually Steff's little sister) the cute little girl wanted to be Minnie Mouse. So I just put a blue eyeshadow, a winged eyeliner for a more animated look, a white eyeshadow at the lower lash line to open up her yes. A cute button nose just like Minnie Mouse, a small amount of blush and of course mouse whiskers. I completed the look with a red lipstick.
