Grancy's Visit

By -
The kids were so excited to have Grancy come for a visit! Aaron and I were excited to have her, too1 
SG was thrilled to sit with Grancy at dinner when she came in. Charlie was fast asleep before we made it to the restaurant so he slept in my arms.

The next day, Grancy had a chance to watch Sissy at gymnastics camp and then she spent the afternoon with them. They had a good time playing and helping to make Grancy's wonderful chocolate pie! I hope SG gets the knack for making it because even when I use her recipe, I can't make it like Grancy and Sarah Graves lets me know it! Glad they had the chance to make it with her.

The kids spent the day with Grancy on Friday. She took them to the movies, play play-doh, blew bubbles, and I'm sure played a lot of other games, too! Friday evening we headed to the lake to show Grancy all the fun things the kids love there.

Charlie showed her the door to the secret room! He gets so tickled by it!


SG and Pops worked on some pancakes for breakfast.


 



We took Grancy out in the boat and she watched the kids on the tube. 

Later, she was there to watch Sissy's first water ski lesson. We didn't get good pictures of that, but Lovie got in with her and helped her start to get the hang of putting the skis on and feeling the pull of the boat.

Even Lucy the grand dog was excited to be with Grancy! Who knew that Lucy is a lake dog for sure and she loves being in the boat! She smiles like that the whole time!

We had a great visit. As always, it was too short, but we look forward to her coming back next time!

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
