our ETHAN turns 3! (part2 of 4)

Pre-birthday celebration, April 29.

As I have mentioned HERE, it was impossible to squeeze in our busy schedule Ethan's 3rd birthday treat, so we had to do it 2 days in advance. We started this tradition since his 1st birthday that we go out as a family (me, the baba and the bday boy ONLY), bring Ethan to the mall/arcade and shop for his gift. However, we missed doing this on his 2nd birthday because hubby was already in Chicago at that time. This year, we originally planned to eat at AppleBee's, Ethan's favorite resto next to El Pollo Loco, but as soon as he sees Chef Red waving at him, he ran to him and gave him a hi-5. We changed our minds and had dinner at RedRobin.

We started the day by giving Ethan his very delayed haircut! He only agreed to have one for as long as he sits on my lap and without a cape. He is used to go to kiddie salons in the Philippines but it's very impractical to go there here. Instead, he went to baba's salon and we paid only USD7.00 plus tip!
Then, we brought him shopping at Toy's R Us, he was a very kind celebrant as he chose 2 toys only, Transformers' Bumblebee and Devastator. He also played some arcade games while I shopped for my undergarments at Aerie (yey!).

Ethan was sooo overly excited that in every moment he would look at us and say: "Happy mommy, Happy baba, thank you!". Afterall, it was his day.

Because of his too much excitement, he accidentally peed on his pants! Oh no! Hubby and I were laughing too hard as this happened for the 1st time since he was potty trained. What was funnier was he peed while on a ride in the arcade, we left the arcade immediately without cleaning the pee LOL! Ethan, on the other hand was so surprised to see that he wet his pants already, he didn't even feel the urge of his peeing because of too much happiness.We went to shop for his pants replacement at Gap. Hahaha! Dagdag sa regalo.

Then off we rest and ate at RedRobin. Ethan can't get enough of Chef Red the mascot! He was hugging him while giving him hi-5s alternately. The crew surprised him with a song and cake.

teach me baba! how do I transform the cars to autobots and decepticons!

We ended the long funfilled day with a short stop at Ethan's favorite bookstore, BORDERS. While baba had a cup of coffee while waiting for us. It was a joyous day filled with smiles and hugs from the celebrant. We love you Ethan, we're glad you had fun!

before I lost track...

Before I lost track of what else is lacking for our big move, I have to list down the Bedroom Furniture and living room furniture we need to buy. Yes people, we found 2 potential apartments and hopefully we get either of the 2. They're the best we've seen so far. I'll post about that on a separate entry.

I am lucky to have Titan as a husband, he has very good choices on home furnitures and he loves decorating them. In fact, he has Lifestyle Solutions in every nook of every house he visits. Sometimes, he is more domesticated than I am hahaha. I can't wait for the day that we finally buy our own house, I know it'll be gorgeous with hubby being the main and sole interior designer.

I am smiling despite the housechores, I am happy despite the demands in life, I am elated by the little things in life, I am beautiful without the Make-up, I am Something Purple. I am blessed. Life is what I make of it. I choose to be happy.
