Today is October 11 and a week from now will be the 12th birthday of my first nephew, Mitch - the first grand child of my parents. Then on the 31st will be the 20th birthday of my youngest brother. Both are back home so i could not be there for the planning and the celebration. The nearest family event i am planning now is my husband's 33rd birthday on the 2nd week of November. I love to entertain at home and plan events and so i am already planning it now - from menu, to set up and gift and (my) attire. I hope he will like it. So how about you? Are you thinking of a coming celebration right now? Some friend's party? Or a family affair? What are your plans?

Well it sure is a birthday-full of moth for you. Happy birthday to all of these people in your family! So do you have something planned? A gift to bring or food to cook? Or do they? You could have an inexpensive celebration by making it a one-day-of-many-birthdays family affair.

oh my! we are so alike really. I am so like that I love planning up to the last color of make up I am wearing. Right now I am actually planning our Christmas vacation. MY first born will be celebrating his 5th birthday on October 24 and I think it is too late for me to plan the event so I just decide to have a field trip with the kids, we will be going to Roxas Boulevard, Luneta park, zoo etc. I a alos thinking of preparing for trick or treat on malls, but I don't think I can finish our costumes (i am planning on sewing our costume) but as of now my mind is so focused on Christmas and yeah I already planned my outfits, my kids outfit and my hubby too, even the menu and the gifts and the wrappers!

Wow, you are so creative! And you can sew? Good for you. So what are your CHristmas plans? Will you all be wearing red, green and gold? Maybe just let the boys wear masks for trick or treating so they could at least have fun in the mall. Happy 5th birthday to your eldest son. And have a great field trip!
