Lake Time

By -
We wanted to get in one more weekend of being on the water at the lake before the temperatures get too cool.
We started off that Friday evening with some fun play for the kids. Pops had a huge box in the garage that he taught them to hide in and jump out to scare us! They would turn off the lights and wait before they jumped out screaming like zombies. It was pretty funny!



Then, Pops broke out the sparklers!




The kids have been intrigued by them, but a little fearful of the possibility of being burned. Then, Aunt Nay had a brilliant idea to use cups to protect their hands.
She overcame her fear and had a great time doing it!

He loved it, but was a little nervous doing it!

Lovie with her sweet boy!

 I ordered a Super Mable raft for us to try out! It was very comfortable and fun to ride.


Lucy caught a nap on the boat


Nay and all the kids took a ride on the raft. Livy was excited to get a turn on the raft.

                               

                                            
Mom pulled out a set of building toys that were Jeanne's and the kids, especially Charlie, fell in love!

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
