Sunday's Best: World of Fun Re-visited + the Coming Halloween

Sundays are for family.

After a week of spending most of our times outside home at work, we see to it that we give our whole Sunday to our little boy. So after hearing a mass, we usually go to the nearest mall and let him have fun. 

One of his favorite place to visit is World of Fun.

Once he entered World of Fun, he's unstoppable. He first tried picking stuffed toys at this prize-dispensing machine. However, he is not lucky enough to pick one. Maybe next time anak.

His first visit at World of Fun was when he was just 1 year old. At that time he still can ride the kiddie rides there. But now that he's a big boy, he appreciate the games like this.

It was a day full of fun for him, and since he can't get enough, we went again there one Sunday.

This time, he tried the fishing game. 

He also tried riding one of the kiddie rides that can still carry him. We also allowed him to play video games, where he enjoyed the most.

Aside from the above games, there are sports game like basket ball and bowling, shooting games, dance and music games, and KTV rooms and videoke stage. You can watch our Instagram stories for the videos.

By the way, August will be over soon. Ber months are coming. That was so fast right? I am sure everyone is looking forward to Christmas holidays. But, not too fast, because before Christmas, there's Halloween. 

In our country, not all are fond of celebrating Halloween but there are many malls now that are having Trick or Treat events yearly. In other part of the world though, Halloween is one of the exciting holidays children are waiting for to dress up to their favorite characters. So Halloween, like Christmas, is one of the their largest spending holidays. Check out the Halloween spending statistics.

In the coming years, I know Halloween will evolve and be a bigger celebration here. I am also sure that my son will be one of those children who will dress up in their favorite character, and who's his favorite character? No other than Iron Man!

Do you have Sunday's best stories too? Let me hear from you.

Vita Cubes - The Healthy and Yummy Treats this Halloween

Before Christmas, we will celebrate Halloween muna. Here in our village, they have the yearly Halloween party but my son haven't join one yet because the party is being held late at night. Aside from the Halloween party, neighborhood kids knock on our door for the trick or treat. That's why we should have something sweet to give the kids.

However, I just recently banned candies at home. Because when Matthew had their Family Day at school, he brought home lots of hard candies and ate these all. The consequence was his tooth's dental filling was removed. If I bought candies, Matthew will surely insist to eat those candies too. So I chose these soft and yummy Vita Cubes gummy.

Vita Cubes

Vita Cubes are cube-shaped jelly candies with 5 fruit flavors - strawberry, apple, grapes, orange and mango. Vita Cubes are not just yummy, because these jellies are with essential vitamins and minerals. Yes mommies these yummy jellies are fortified with Lysine, Zinc, and Vitamins A, B, C and E. So if you are looking for something sweet for trick or treat, I recommend Vita Cubes.

My son was so happy seeing these yummy Vita Cubes jelly. Look, he can't wait for trick or treat and opened the box already.

This is how to eat Vita Cubes

Aside from Vita Cubes, I have Rebisco goodies to give too. I am sure the kids will love these treats just as much as my son do!

But I have to warn you. Because Vita Cubes is so addictive!

Now addicted to #vitacubes. Got these from son's stock... ssshhhh. #mommybloggersph #momayeratedproduct @chemist_dad @mommybloggersphilippines
