Bibingclara's bday party preparation

Bibingclara's birthday is near, officially next week. We'll be throwing a birthday bash for her this coming sunday. I am almost done with the party prepping except with the list of food that i'll be cooking. Well, i do still have 2 days more. We do not have a lot of kiddie guests as they already gone for summer but i know few childrens are more easier to handle ( i hope ) of course, there will gonna have some games and prices not only for childrens but for adult visitors as well :)

to make things easier, i just bought everything from loot bags to paper plates from 1.50 € store

and invitations - we will gonna have only 2 childrens in Bibingclara's class
I am thinking for next year's daughter's birthday, i wish we can save so we can celebrate her birthday in Guignol - puppet show. And we will make sure too to set the date ealier than july ( before end of school year ) with that, she could still invite the majority of her classmates.

we watched guignol for free for the first time open-air in Thiais Village. That day was first day of sale ( wednesday ) we went also in Ikea.
My daughter loves so much the puppet show guignol in fact, she's eager for our stamped card to be done because when the card is done there is either popcorn or candy in exchange :)

Guignol in Mexico at Guignol de Paris parc des Buttes Chaumont

the trajet to guignol parc des buttes chaumont is a bit far from where we live but we like going there time to time for a change. 2 metros and a lot of walking :)

last wednesday guignol in parc des buttes chaumont was "the well of mother michelle "
We actually have two access, there is another guignol theater near us in 14th arrondissement in Guignol du Parc Montsouris. We are looking forward for a new program of Guignol in Park Montsouris this August. Hopefully, we can also have a chance to partying with roudoudou next birthday celebration wish, wish, wish :)

Baked goodies

Not only sugared cookies we brought for the school fair, i also bakes some filipino desserts for tasting :)

 sugared cookies - packed with used colored folder and recycled lace ( from clothes )

 rochers à la noix de coco - coconut macaroons

 my new creation - biko balls

 3 big biko balls ( for the teacher, assistant and trainee of the class )

 gateau au manioc - cassava cake

gateau du riz avec sesame - sticky rice balls with sesame seeds
A piece of cake for an exchange of one ticket ( costs 0.50 cents ) tickets can be found at the school entrance. We just gave the baked goodies and the school managed everything. A lot of parents also participated by bringing some dishes ( there was also bbq's = 3 tickets ). All the profits from the said fair will goes to school. By the way, all the cake liners ( Large, Medium and Small ) are came from 1.50 euro store. At last, i find its use. Upnext, Fête de l'école post :)

Cookies for the kids

A day ahead of fête de l'école - school fair/school feast, my daughter and i got so busy making cookies for her class. We made the easiest and simpliest cookies. I did the cutting and my assistant did the decorating :)

letters cookie cutter bought from 1.50 Euros store ( long-time ago sa wakas nagamit din )

 yes, i made and cutted each cookies by name

 the cookie decorator ( kahit pasaway hehehe )

 the advantage is favor sa pinakamahabang pangalan gosh i got an error here the name is CHEMSEEDINE ( the longest name in the class  )  but i arranged it wrongly by CHEmesedine naduling na ata ako hehehe :(

28 childrens - 27 in Bibingclara's class plus i made an extra dun sa kakambal na classmate ni Bibingclara na nasa kabilang class :)
It was a big work for us but i'm satisfied because the childrens enjoyed their personalized cookies. Actually, the parents still pouring their "thank you's" to me each time i cross them in school. Well, it was a pleasure, seeing childrens smile when they got their cookie is fullfilling ( it was the teacher who distributed the cookies  to each child together with their card for the fair ) Before i end, there's a funny story because Bibingclara finds the sugar cookies so delicious! so at the end of the baking Bibingclara wanted to taste test each letters ( cookie ) i said " no anak, i will missed letter for each name" well, she simply said ( to convince me ) " you know mama, they're will be a lot of absent tomorrow so let me taste it" hahaha i laughed out loud oh my goodness buti nalang i have some extra's kasi yung ibang cookies ay nasunog so i re-baked some.
