Pirates at Sea

By -

We enjoyed a relaxing day swimming, riding water slides, and kids in kids club. 


Then, we came back and saw our bandanas laid out for us! Pirate night was finally here!

One of our first stops was a pirate treasure map activity. 
We decorated our treasure maps and enjoyed that as a family.

Charlie saw this area and knew it would make for a cute shot!


I was so proud that when they offered for kids to come up and describe their map, the kids rushed up to tell everyone about theirs.

My pirates! They're a good looking bunch! 

We were excited to see Captain Hook and Mr. Smee! Smee was very playful with the kids and loved Aaron's parrot!


I was excited to see Jack Sparrow since he isn't a common character to see at Disney parks. He was also interactive and ready to talk between shots.


I love the characters in their different costumes! So fun! Having all of these fun pictures was a big treat for me!

We had a fun dinner that kept the Caribbean thing going. 



Making a toast with their new light up pirate cups! Thanks to Lovie and Pops for the fun addition to pirate night.

Marija brought the entertainment by showing us a neat trick balancing the spoons on the wine bottle.



After dinner, we headed up to the pool deck for the pirate show. Charlie and Livy wanted kids club for.a while and eventually came back with us for the fireworks part of the show.




I love this happy smile!

Sissy was enjoying the fireworks. It was really cool to stand on the deck and look out at the fireworks.

Poor Sissy had a massive headache and wasn't feeling so well after the fireworks and threw up. Fortunately, being pixie dusted with these cute Frozen sheets gave her a great night's sleep and she felt great afterward.

Charlie had Marvel sheets!

We had this cool rasta guy! Dani, our cabin attendant, was really good to us!

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
