Carving pumpkin…
We carved our pumpkin last Saturday..Bianca Ann was so excited that she even tried to carved her own pumkin and she wants a happy face pumpkin. I helped her with her pumpkin… I did carved my own pumkin too, with an easy pattern. Billy was great; a witch holding a jack-o-lantern pattern.(the one outside pic of Bianca Ann) As to Bianca Ann Halloween outfit I was able to make up my mind last friday 29th Oct. just browsing on the sale rack of Target. And I saw this purple lovely ballerina outfit…thought wow!!! check the price $20.00,and it was not on sale– kinda pricey outfit..I proceed to the costume isle hoping to find an outfit for her—nah!! the quality are made for one use only. Since I know it will be a cold day so I went bought a black long-sleeve onesie for her to wear with the ballerina outfit, I got already a black tights from the Old navy the other day. I got her also a wand (on sale 74 cents) and a cutie tiara with hair clip and band.
Last Sunday went to church…Bianca Ann was acting funny. In a way —she knows there’s doughnut after the mass, she could not wait till the mass is over. She was pulling my hand to go to the table and telling me she wants to eat in a loud voice (doughnut was not served yet), during the communion she did not come with me—she sat down on the table, then she went looking for me ‘Mama where are you!" on my way to my chair–she asked me Mama— I was looking for you! then asked me whats in my mouth and to share it with her.
After church went to Rite Aid to have my 265 photos to put in a Kodak CD— took 3 pic CD’s. While waiting I went browsing thier costume aisle with 75 % off tag…I found a purple feathery tiara and a star wand, thought hmmm I like it, then I feel in love with the purplish set of wings … the price $2.99!!! Thought lovely!!! Bianca Ann been watching the Dora Explorer halloween–so she knows what to say and she needs to wear a costume to get candy. I showed the wings to her she said she will be a Butterfly Ballerina …she wants to play with the wings that night so I put it away and hoping I will remember where I put it.
I was so excited for the Halloween too— dressing up my precious as a Fairy Ballerina and worried what if she change her mind not to dress up. I went to bed at 2 am monday — after I iron my hubbys 2 cami’s uniform and even did a re-pack of the candies into sandwhich size bag (fold type) and tied it with a ribbon. I made 150 pieces whole box of sandwhich plastic bag…whew!!!

That’s a huge pumpkin and the carving on it is nicely done. We didn’t carve pumpkins this year. We just had a little uncarved one on our steps just for our daughter to see.
By the way, I am so curious about those bright pink stickies on your kitchen appliances. What are they for? Are they notes for Biance not to touch them? Seems like a pretty good idea.

Rissa:
your pumpkin belly was AWESOME!!! you should send it to one of the magazine who featured belly photos. Your Hubby did a good job on it. I personally love it.. At first when i saw those painted preggy belly in magazine I could not believe you can do it..cause we dont really play with our preggy belly back in Phils. I even heard sa Ate ko noon when I was young na masama daw picturan ang buntis at siya ayaw-na ayaw niyang magpa-pic din while she is was preggy…..
Kim: those pink posted around the kitchen is a piece of cartolina I cut and wrote the appliances name or house parts around the house. I got those idea from my neighbor–though Bianca Ann cant read yet she knows whats written on it. I hope…he!he!he!

The cartolina thingy sounds like a brilliant idea. I also noticed the world map on the wall. Bianca Ann must be a smarty.
