What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

Report Cards Are In

Err, that was two weeks ago. A pending post this is.. The thing is, I am happy and contented on what their report cards show. They got plus one or two on their grades, and that’s without a tutor and a almost two weeks of missing class dues to mumps. I guess it helped a lot that I was the one teaching them or tutoring them. They say they want it that way. Mommy do some work sheet for them and they answer it. The easiest way for me was to photocopy their books and let them answer it again. It’s a bit tiring to cut the pictures though but it’s all worth it. So this coming third quarter, I will be more ready than the last quarter and hopefully by then we will meet our goal of no line of 8 grade (1 more subject to go.. woot!)

How To Make 7th Birthday A Blast On A Tight Budget

My first born turned 7 years old last October 24. It was a blast birthday though we were on a tight budget.My seven year old boy enjoyed his party so much. Except for the cake (which was a last minute decision), I think I only spend less than 8000 Pesos for all. Included there was food for 50 kids (for his 7th Birthday party n school), food for house party, loot bags (for 20 kids, for house party), candy bags for 50 kids (for school party) and the candies and toys for pinata and pabitin.

How To Make 7th Birthday A Blast On A Tight Budget?

First, don’t splurge on food. As I observe it, kids are not into food that much. About 10% will ask for more food, around 60% will finish their food and the rest will just taste it. It would be better to serve them as little food as possible. Would you believe that I only bought a kilo of pasta (makes two kilos of spaghetti) for 50 kids and at there was still some left overs.

Don’t forget the hotdog or the chicken to be paired with spaghetti. Never include a sandwich as kids never really liked it.

Second, buy more candies and treats. Did you know that your 1000 Pesos can go a long way when it comes to candies and treats? Buy the usual, some chips, some jelly ace, some mallows, some lollipops.

Make 7th Birthday A Blast by making big on games. Pinata or palayok is a sure winner. The part where guests try to hit the pinata or the palayok is fun. And of course the moment it was hit and kids try to snatch the goodies is a perfect kids party scene.

Lastly, splurge on loot bags. The succes of a 7th birthday party is the smile you get from the celebrant and of course the guests. And since it is a 7th birthday party, go for items that a seven year old kid would love. That may include coloring book, pencils and even yoyo. Don’t forget the stickers, you can never go wrong with stickers.
