Fun Weekend

By -
We had a great weekend!  We didn't necessarily do anything ground breaking, it was just very pleasant.  Friday night was a trip to Wal-Mart, which might sound like a horrible night to some, but when you're with the cutest baby and she's in an awesome mood, it's the greatest  We had a chance to catch up on some sleep, which feels so delicious!  We accomplished some things around the house, Sarah Graves had a 4 hour nap on Saturday, and we went to a cookout with a fat-cheeked, cooing baby girl.   
Pops came over to help Aaron install an electrical outlet and connect the cable for the TV in the bathroom.  I am so excited to have a TV in there so that I can catch up on the news while I get ready for work.  If I don't catch the news in the morning, people are talking about the horrific oil spill and I'm like, "ummm, what oil spill would that be?"  
Here's a picture of Sarah Graves with Mom at the cookout.

There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
