Easter Sunday

By -
The Easter bunny came! He brought a doll carrier, summer pjs, sunglasses, movie, prizes and candy! The bunny bait they left out for him must have worked!



Charlie got into his chocolate bunny first thing!

Sissy was so proud to check out her new doll carrier!

After a pleasant morning we made it to church just in time to flower the cross.


After the service the kids had another Easter egg hunt. There was a good chance of rain so they set it up inside. 
Since our church has the kids hunt for eggs looking for eggs numbered 1 - 12, it works out okay to have them inside. Once the kids get all 12 eggs they turn them in for a treat.



After church Charlie had a rough time and just had a lot of big feelings. Playing with Pops was the only time he was happy all afternoon.

Sissy loved the chance to show Lovie her new Easter prizes!

Here's a pic of the eggs the kids dyed. They used paint, glitter, and markers to decorate them!

Charlie did not want to take a picture so our sweet girl got Lovie and Pops all to herself.

He came around in time for a family picture! I love them so.

We had ham, a twice baked cauliflower casserole, grits, rolls, and deviled eggs for lunch. The part I was excited about were the desserts. I made iced bunny cookies, jello jigglers, and a blueberry pie. I thought it was all delicious!

We had a relaxed day enjoying time together to celebrate God's love for us! 

We were disappointed Jeanne' and Olivia couldn't be there, but Livy was feeling rotten with a stomach virus. The kids really missed her and thought it wasn't the same without her.

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
