Check-up!

By -
With our vacation over, it was time to get focused on back to school! Getting the kids check-ups was part of that.

They like their dentist, Dr. Schwartz, and don't mind going at all. I am so grateful for that! I hated the dentist as a kid and I'm glad they don't feel that way. 
Dr. Schwartz gave them a clean bill of health. No cavities and nothing to worry about right now. 
Charlie will probably have a wiggly tooth sometime soon, but nothing to worry about that he hasn't had any yet. 

SG continues to lose teeth and for now there is nothing that she needs to do different.

Then, it was off to the pediatrician for well-checks.
Charlie weighed in at 47 pounds (62nd percentile) and was 45.5 inches tall (56th percentile). He grew three inches this year! He had a clean bill of health! For a moment the doctor thought he might have a concern with blood sugar, but it turns out he ate a good many cookies before the appointment! Charlie finished his Hep A and Hep B vaccines this visit.

Sarah Graves weighed 54 pounds (26th percentile) and was 52.25 inches tall (65th percentile). Despite not feeling due to a bad cold after the cruise, Sarah Graves had a clean bill of health. We decided to switch her medicine to a non-stimulant variety that hopefully will not affect her appetite. 

The last stop was at the eye doctor. Both kids had eye exams. Charlie's vision is just fine. Sarah Graves had her prescription updated and picked out some new glasses. Pops took the kids to the eye doctor and I really appreciate the help.

I am so grateful that both kids are healthy and thriving!

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
