More Holiday in the Park

By -
We went to Holiday in the Park the day after Christmas and it was crazy crowded! So, the day after New Year's we decided to go back one more time before Six Flags closed until spring. The weather had turned cold, but it was not crowded at all! I don't mind bundling up if it means I don't have to stand in line!

Poor Char went from sitting up wearing his sunglasses to out cold on the walk in from the parking lot! I love how he proudly wore his sunglasses upside down!


Sissy loves to ride the tilt-a-whirl ride called Harley Quinn and it is right next to Mindbender which is a moderate roller coaster that does have loops. We knew she was tall enough for Mindbender, but she has always been too nervous to try it. Finally, she decided to give it a try and this is the happy and proud face afterward! Yay! She is going to be a roller coaster girl!

The kids love to ride the baby roller coaster, Canyon Blaster, but the line for it is always kind of long. Here sister is so proud to be sitting up on the wall while waiting in line!

Poor Charlie, he was so worried he was going to get sick because he went to Six Flags. He has gotten sick right after going twice now, so I can't blame him for feeling concerned! He did enjoy riding the rides and came home fit as a fiddle!

We are looking forward to going back to Six Flags in warm weather and taking advantage of all the water rides and fun!

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
