party updates

With barely 3 weeks to go, we are now getting ready for Samantha's fifth birthday party. So far, everything on schedule. Despite preparing quite late this year, so far ... so good. Set budget exceeded a little but I am happy that with a few party add-ons, will be able to have a great party for the bratinella. As I promised the husband, it will just be a simple party this year. Since she can't have a party and blow her birthday cake inside the school premise, I want her to celebrate her special day with some close friends and immediate family.

Anyway, just an update on our party preps ... loots all ready including the prizes. Bought the party bags and prizes at 168 Mall few weeks back. Got some Hello Kitty stuff for the girls like pencil cases, cups, face towels, lunch kits, utensil sets, stickers, pens and coloring books. For boys, bought matching Spongebob items too. Here are some of Samantha's party loots.

All done ... 50 pcs lootbags. Spongebob for boys, Hello Kitty for girls

And with some of the party prizes.

Now off to my party updates. Need to check the web for affordable water filters that we can use here at Ortigas condo. Our present filters badly needs replacement asap. And since the husband is very busy with work lately, need to get the parts online immediately. I just hope it will be delivered soon.
