SpongeBob Bash!

By -
Charlie chose SpongeBob for his party theme! He had lots of choices and SpongeBob was what he really wanted and he was definite he wanted it at home! Charlie is a boy who knows what he wants!



They love these window clings!

Aaron picked up this fun bean bag toss game to add to the backyard fun with the bounce house!

Spongebob water!

We had to have the menu from the Krusty Krab! It was fun thinking of ways to make Charlie's favorites fit with the menu.

 Charlie loves sausage biscuits, so we made those "krabby patties", pigs in a blanket became "salty sea dogs", we did tater tots for "coral bits", ketchup was "salty sauce", strawberry smoothies were "kelp shakes", Charlie suggested "Gary's grapes", and nutter butter cookies were "Sandy's snacks." I think the kids enjoyed the themed menu!

We had to include birthday cookies! Charlie delighted in helping make these! The life preservers were a great idea of his!

It was a group effort to ice them and the kids came up with some fun and create combinations!

I was pretty pleased with how Patrick came out!

I was pretty pleased with my idea to put "Pirate's Booty" in this treasure chest looking box to go with our under sea theme.


Love and Pops did it again and made another awesome cake that tasted fantastic!

I put together this life preserver to welcome our guests.

We did simple goodie bags this time. The big hit inside were wiki stix!

A big part of the fun of this party came the night before. We pulled together as a family and the kids really helped prepare. They helped with cookies, cleaning, and decorations and it was help that I really needed!

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
