Halloween Fun

By -
Kindergarten is such a fun age! Seeing Charlie in his classroom with his buddies is really cute. He is a sweet kid, good listener, and well liked by his classmates. It makes me proud to see him in action enjoying his school, teachers, and friends!

The party started off with mystery reader! The kids did a great job listening while the party was being set up.

The room was transformed into a festive atmosphere with bright colors!

There were yummy snacks! The strawberry was Charlie's favorite, of course!

I made the cupcakes. At Charlie's request they were chocolate cake with orange frosting. I saw the emoji face idea online and Aaron and I had fun coming up with different faces! The pirate face was my personal favorite!


The kids made these bat hats for their craft. Charlie with his buddies Harrison, Nico, and Ziggy.

I was so happy to go to the Halloween party in Charlie's class. I went to them in Sarah Graves' kindergarten class, but at the time I didn't realize that would be the last year for class parties. I know it now and I am savoring them with Charlie.

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
