Friday Night Fun

By -
Looking to spend a Friday night doing something festive, we tried to go to Six Flags only to realize it isn't open on Friday night; we tried to go to a tree lighting only to find traffic and parking too much; we tried to see a movie only to find it sold out; and then we gave it up and headed home. 
On our way home we were all feeling a little defeated when this car behind us kept flashing their lights and began honking at us. Finally, at a red light the drive got out and ran up to us going on about how we hit her car. We were all taken aback that this drive got out in the rain in the middle of traffic to claim we hit her. Then she ran around our car to check for damage only to find none. With traffic backing up and cars honking she decided to get back in her car. It made for a crazy experience that the kids have retold!
We attempted to turn our evening around by ordering pizza and watching holiday programs.

We really enjoyed Olaf's Holiday and then attempted to watch another program. Sarah Graves picked A Cricket on the Hearth. It was completely odd, had horrible singing, and the strangest story. We have laughed about that program so many times! 
I hope the kids can remember how we turned a rainy, yucky Friday night into a memorable time together!

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
