Trick or Treat!

By -
We had a great time trick or treating!  Lovie, Pops and Nay came over to join in the fun.  Our neighborhood organized a block party that was a great way to get out and show our neighbors our costumes.  


Sarah Graves coordinated our costumes and we had a great time!

Sarah Graves asked Pops to dress up as King Triton and of course, he found a way to do it! 

She was very excited to check out her loot!

We did most of our trick or treating at the block party as most brought their candy bowl with them, but Sissy wanted a chance to go to the houses, too.  I thought Charlie might just hang back, but he was right up there with Sissy getting candy and trying to move in with people!  Sissy was very polite and spoke loudly so that everyone could hear her say, "trick or treat" and "thank you."  That's a  difficult thing for a little girl who gets shy.

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
