And We All Fall Down

By -
Just after my birthday, I got a call at work that SG wasn't feeling well. By the time I got in touch with the nurse, she had already thrown up in class. Poor kid was feeling rotten. I asked if she was embarrassed and she just said, "it was SO awkward!"

I implemented and enforced hand washing and started wiping things down in hopes that we wouldn't all get it. That wasn't to be. By Tuesday night I had it and by Wednesday afternoon Charlie had it. We thought Aaron might avoid it, but no. Just when we thought we could get back to normal, Aaron got it on Saturday night. Good times at our house!


Then, SG woke up with her ear hurting. We had a long night, but in the morning we headed to the minute clinic and got her set up with an antibiotic. She was a real trooper and wanted to go to school after. Thank goodness for Lovie, she came to my office and picked SG up and brought her to school.

Hoping we will all be well for Valentine's Day!

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.

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
