Easter Morning

By -
We had a great Easter morning!  I planned the whole morning out so that we had time for the Easter bunny and still be at church to get a seat at 8:30.  We had to wake Sissy, but the excitement of seeing what the bunny brought was plenty to get her out of bed!

The Easter Bunny brought lots of fun things for them.  Their big items were a play-doh sweet shop set for Sissy and a lawnmower for Charlie.  Both of them were big hits.  Their baskets also had books, wind up toys, slinks, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, Magic Clip princess dolls for Sissy, and a train and bear for Charlie.  There were bunny shaped pretzels, jelly beans, and the biggest hit, Peeps!

Sarah Graves wanted to leave carrots out for the Easter Bunny and she had the idea to leave him some water.  

She was most excited to have an Anna Magic Clip doll.  

Charlie particularly enjoys pulling the starter on his lawnmower!

I don't know where Charlie learned about Peeps, but he was very excited to get into those!


Dressed and ready for church with minutes to spare!  

The morning went quite smoothly, which is not something to be taken for granted with two small children on such a big day.  On the way into church, I complimented Sarah Graves on what a great morning we had together.  She responded by saying she did it for me!  That has to be one of the sweetest things she could do for me.

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
