Sci-Port

The kids love going to the Shreveport science museum for kids. It was recently redone and we found so much fun stuff! Grandaddy joined us to explore it. We saw an IMAX movie on Pandas that was neat. We also explored all sorts of things like aerodynamics to fly planes; types of light like infrared and ultraviolet; and space, 

Firefighter Charlie! The flames went out when you hit them with the hose.

Or you can blow the fresh air in your face!

The kids enjoyed practicing to be little veternarians.


There were real animals in the vet clinic too! Sissy enjoyed petting the bunny, Fletcher.

We also checked out this king snake. Charlie and I considered our ability to speak parseltongue like Harry Potter, but we don't have it!

We learned about pulleys and how they help you lift heavy things.


The kids enjoyed pretending real life in the grocery and the bank!

Making BIG music!

We spent the full afternoon checking out the exhibits Hardly anyone was in the museum, so it was easy to let the kids do what interested them and spend a lot of time enjoying it. They were definitely in their element.

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
