PARTIES!

I thought birthday party invites are over. Well, January might be but not the invitations. -haha- We already got 2 birthday party invitations for February's first week. It's on 5th and 7th. The first party will be at Chuck E Cheeses. The other one will be a Harry Potter Themed Party at one of friends house. Kids were asked to come in their favorite Costumes. So I asked AJ what she's going to wear. Of course she wanted to be CINDERELLA. I was just glad the dress still fits her. So CINDERELLA it is!

It got me thinking... I have to think about Kids Halloween Costumes. Why so early? Well, I think it's better to plan early and let AJ choose what she wanted since I've known her to change her mind so quickly. I'd rather have options than her leaving me hanging and clueless. I might as well check the Sexy Halloween Costumes. I really love the idea of putting on a Cowgirl Costumes. Who knows, I might be able to convince the hubs and the little one to put on Western Costumes. (That would be cute!) It would be a nice change for AJ too since you all know how fascinated she is with princess stuff.

Did you know that they have the largest selections of costumes and accessories combined with their lowest prices for every holiday throughout the year? They even have free shipping for orders over $60. So what are you waiting for? It's not too early to plan is it? Better early than sorry, Right?

Beauty comes from within!

Is it possible for a 5 year old to love make-up at an early age? I've seen my daughter to pick up real make-up when were at a store and pretend putting it on whenever she had a chance.. I wonder sometimes where she got her budding fascination with make-up? I use make-up alright! But only on occasions and not everyday. She has this impression that when you put make-up on that "You're Pretty". Should I be worried? I hope not! I take pride in teaching AJ that beauty comes from within. The world is quick to judge based on physical appearance, and we need to take more time to see the true beauty in others. I hope this is just a phase and she'll outgrow it soon.

I have nothing against make-up. Besides, I've been there, done that kind of thing (so don't get me wrong). I just think there is a proper timing to start using them. For the meantime I just want her to be care free and enjoy being a kid without thinking about her hair if it was a little disheveled or her jacket was too fluffy and made her look fat. (Y'know things like that). She actually surprised me one time when she said she doesn't want to put on her jacket because it made her look fat. I had to talk to her and convince her otherwise. *BIG SIGH* Please don't grow up too soon my baby doll! I really don't want her to be like one the "girls" that can only think of their outside appearance and nothing else. TSK! That's a scary thought!

Choices we make!

With the economy we are facing today, all of us have to make choices about how we spend our money. Wise choices allows us to build our wealth and eventually achieve financial independence. Lately, I've been spending like crazy to my husbands dismay so he suggested that we should invest our money in Bank CD Rates instead of unnecessary things. I totally agree but I told him not to expect too much. I promise to tone it down a little harhar...

FAT DADDY'S RESTAURANT

We've been eating at Fat daddy's for as long as I can remember. We eat there at least once a week mostly on Fridays or Saturdays. But we changed it to Mondays because of the "KIDS NIGHT SPECIAL". They offer a special 99c price for the kids meal. (Yup! You read it right) They can have hamburger or Hotdog on a bun or a choice of 5 pcs of fried chicken wings. The meal comes with french fries and a soda. You can purchase up to 3 kids meal with one adult meal. Isn't that great?

Since Mondays are the kids night they have this nice lady who dresses as a different character each week. She also does face painting and makes balloons for the kids delight. (She's very talented and the kids love her.) We actually hired her once for AJ's 4th B-day Party as Cinderella. AJ didn't recognize her at all. Hahaha...
AJ felt so special that night. She thought the Fairy Godmother sent Cinderella for her birthday. Anyway, for just $1.00 as tip you can get a balloon and have your face painted. She even has coloring sheets with crayons for you to take home. Whenever we plan to go there, AJ doesn't complain that much anymore. She used too but now she knows what's in store for her. Just as long as she has her face painted, she's a happy girl.

You know what I love about FAT DADDY'S? Their BURGER! I swear it's the best burger I've ever tasted. For my burger I love to add mushroom, bacon, American cheese, lettuce and mayonnaise that's it. The hubs likes their Cheese Steak Sandwich. We both love their buffalo chicken wings. They have a station where you can find all the condiments and stuff you need to build your burger and sandwiches. They even have garden salad , celery sticks and melted cheese to dip for your fries and all for free! ( I know this place is Absolutely Amazing! I love it!) It actually surprises me that I haven't gotten so big yet with all that greasy food I stuff in my mouth every week. Nyahaha...

So if you happen to be in the area and would love to try a new burger, try Fat Daddy's Restaurant. I'm pretty sure you're going to love it there too.

Before I bid you goodbye take a look at some of AJ's face paintings.

AJ was on CLOUD NINE!

This past two weeks felt like we were on vacation because of the unexpected snow. Schools declared no classes last Tuesday and Wednesday. (It was a long weekend here since Monday was a holiday) And today, Aj didn't have to wake up early because it was a teacher's work day. Meaning no classes again. So she was on cloud nine because she knew she was allowed to play videos for kids. She even played with her Dad non-stop with the PS3, Nintendo Wii, her Dad's PSP and her Nintendo DS. She even played with her V-Smile that hasn't been played for a while. Haha...
