Trick or Treating

By -
We had a fun Halloween! We stuck with our routine of having a small party-like dinner with the family before heading out to trick or treat.
For dinner we had buttered worms (buttered pasta tinted green), zombie brains (hot dog casserole), and snacks. 

I also made this jell-o mold like a brain! Aaron pointed out that brains are grey, but I wanted cherry flavor!

The buttered worms were a big hit! Livy even had a second serving after trick or treating.

Our Harry Potter themed costumes were a lot of fun once again!




Nay and Livy dressed as Frozen. It was a lot of fun to see people's reactions to our costumes!



Mom heard about a neighborhood near us that has lots of trick or treating and she was right! The kids had a blast going from house to house. We trick or treated there for a couple of hours and then headed to our own! 


Thanks to Pops for chauffeuring us around and to Lovie for handing out candy to our trick or treaters! 

So grateful that the kids had a day off from school on November 1! They spent the day with Lovie having an awesome time being the only kids at Catch Air and marveling at the goodies available at Whole Foods!

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!

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
