Arts Festival

By -
We have been so busy getting things done at home that we decided to take Sunday off and do something just for fun.  We went to the Buckhead Spring Arts Festival and had a great afternoon. 
These two were quite the hit with their hiking backpack.  She was pretty happy to stay in it and the shade kept her cool. 

 We took a break for lunch and she loved the freedom to run around in this open space.
 She is in love with her sunglasses, but takes them off all the time.  She is a really funny kid.
 She spotted the funnel cakes right off and told me that she wanted to eat that.  I couldn't say I blamed her, so after we shared some corn dog we went back and got one.  It was absolutely delicious!
 The festival was at a park so there was a big playground that she kept seeing as we passed the various art booths and finally we decided to let her go and check it out.  She loves these rocking/bouncing toys!
 Next to the playground were all the kids' inflatables and she was quickly lured over.  I used my mommy judgment and bought the wristband for unlimited jumps/rides.  After an hour and a half Aaron realized what a good choice that was! 

She had a ball on the big inflatable slides and in the bounce houses!  She must have slid so much that she wore holes in the plastic covering on her panties! 
As soon as we got in the car to come home she told me she was sleepy and I could see her head leaning to the side and her eyes drooping.  I would say that we all had a great time.

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! 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
