WEEK 40: october 1-4

here is the rest of week 40...

october 4 -- haydee and john had lunch with us! we had so much food left from the previous night's party and we needed help finishing them. after lunch, haydee helped in packing isabelle's goodies for her classmates. she will bring it on tuesday to school. she is really excited about her birthday!!

october 3 --i threw a surprise 'baby shower' for my dear friend haydee. how did i make her come? i told her we would be celebrating isabelle's birthday!
this was how it happened...
about 3 weeks ago (of maybe 4) i thought of giving her a baby shower. i called her sister to ask if they had plans. when she said none, i suggested the idea. she was really glad and very much willing to help. she contacted her friends and their relatives. we set the date and then planned the rest of the details. i didn't worry about any of the food. they basically brought everything.
the night of the party, haydee arrived at 2pm (gosh..very early!!!) she thought she needed to help out in cooking or baking for isabelle's party. i just told her i ordered food from somebody. we waited til 8pm. haydee was getting worried why no guests were coming. then someone buzzed!! it was her sister. haydee was surprised that her sister was the first one to arrive, and even more surprised when she heard her sister was with a group of people. she was telling me 'how can my sister bring other people when she is the only one invited!!!' she was about to go down the stairs to meet her sister and tell her! she was surprised to see that with her sister was 2 of her bestfriends! she was ready to apologize to me when i broke the news that it was her party!! she had no idea the it was for her. she was really happy and she cried when she thanked me and everyone else who came.

october 2 -- just finished doing the diaper cake for haydee...for her baby shower!

october 1 -- for this day i featured our trash bins!!! the one with the white cover is for bottles, the yellow-covered one is for recyclables, and the all-green ones are for perishables. our building care-taker takes them out everyday. she keeps them really clean!
