Sandy Days

By -
Our first night at the beach, we were excited to see a restaurant we had tried and liked opened a new location right across the street with a nice outside eating area. We enjoyed our fried shrimp! Later that night, Jeanne' came to get me because she was having an allergic reaction. Aaron went with her to the ER and they took care of her, but she had to stay on steroids and antihistamines all week to help her recover. And now she knows she is allergic to both lobster and shellfish! Who would have thought! The ER didn't take too long, so they were able to come home and get some sleep before the kids were all up and going. 




 Playing some toss on the beach. The weather was beautiful! Not too hot and a light breeze!



Sarah Graves had a great time building this sand chair! She built a footrest to make sure it was comfy!

Charlie was eager to try it out.

 Livy didn't remember being at the beach before and she was so happy to get in the sand.She did some sand baking and made a bundt cake!


Sis made an ice cream!

 Then we were off to the pool!


After our fun day, we got cleaned up to go out to dinner. On a whim we tried a local Italian restaurant called Ali's Bistro and the food was delicious! The kids were so good and it was a really happy time!

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
