Beach Day 2

By -

Our beach days are spent going from the pool to the beach and back. The kids love to use sand toys to "bake" cookies and cakes in the sand. Aunt Nay bought the set of baking toys for the sand a couple of years ago and they were an immediate favorite! In the pool they love for Pops to play with them on the shark "surf boards" letting them stand up and surf in the pool! These laid back days with time spent together are so wonderful.








After beach and pool time, Jeanne', Aaron, and I ventured out with the kiddos for dinner at Floyd's. As a kid I was a picky eater (okay, I still am), but I LOVED fried shrimp. My parents would take me to a restaurant with fried shrimp on the seafood buffet and I would go to town! Floyd's offers all you can eat shrimp and fish and um, I am capable of putting away quite a few popcorn shrimp (those are my favorite)!
Olivia was with us but we didn't get a picture with her - not sure why.

This silly boy was so pleased with the sticker on his head!



After dinner we went for some yummy ice cream! These two were the only ones posing!

These laid back days with time spent together are so wonderful.

Frozen Party Details

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
