Meet the Teachers

By -
 Then it was time to meet the teachers and see the classrooms! Both kids were really excited to see what was in store for the new school year! I miss that excitement of starting fresh and the possibility of a new year!

Charlie got really nervous. Not sure if it was anxiety about meeting the new teacher or just overwhelmed with how crowded and noisy the halls were as everyone excitedly greeted one another after summer away. He handled it way better than he did a few years ago, so there is progress. 
Here he is with Ms. Kindrick, one of his first grade teachers.




Sarah Graves has a big classroom and was really excited to see where it was! They moved 4th grade back to the lower school building, so a lot of shifting took place to make space for three classes of 4th graders. They are back on the hall where they were for 2nd grade!


Lovie came to help me manage getting the kids to their classrooms and meeting the teachers.


 The school had a happy hour at McCray's and it was more time to greet friends after the summer!


This night set the tone for a fun school year!

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
