Our Weekend

By -
We had a low key weekend that included a lovely dinner out Friday night with two delightful diners. Saturday we had a super-early wake up call first from Charlie at 4 followed by sissy at 5:30 (maybe 20 minutes after Aaron got Charlie back to sleep). I thought I could give SG food and let her watch TV until an acceptable weekend wake up time, but she soon came back, this time to daddy, wanting band aids for some boo boos. So there was time to mow the grass and get groceries before music! After music there was a meltdown from a very tired sissy before she went to gymnastics! A good nap helped some and gave me time to prep food for a baby shower I helped host for a former colleague.
Sunday morning brought more early wake up calls that cannot be explained, but daddy took that one since I was up late making cupcakes. We went to church our little angel looked so cute and was beaming with pride as she brought up the children's prayers. Charlie was a dream as he peacefully drifted off during adult Sunday school and slept through the service. After church I had a bit more to do for the baby shower that evening and Aaron played with the kids. Lovie graciously babysat while we went to the shower. A fun event celebrating a baby girl on the way and Aaron showed off how to estimate the circumference of a pregnant woman's belly with perfect accuracy! It was a late night for us, so the week has been off to a sleepy start! A busy, but good weekend.

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
