Great Wolf Lodge

By -
After kicking off fall break at the Home Depot Kids Workshop, we headed to Great Wolf Lodge! 
Our visit got off to a little bit of a rough start when the power went out soon after we got to our room. We opted to use our time to go out for dinner and make a trip to Wal-Mart. Yep, when you don't know what to do, go shopping!

She was so excited to pick out this sparkly, crystal wand topper!

The kids were pumped to play Magiquest!


No interruption to our evening could stop our fun! 

One of the perks of Great Wolf Lodge is Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast!





Charlie was loving being tall enough for every slide! He was so brave and tried this slide where you drop a ways before you land on the slide!





Their wolf passes also gave them fun activities like this rock climbing wall.
Charlie was so brave and quickly climbed to the top to ring the bell!

Sarah Graves was a little more cautious. 






It was fun to run into friends from school! Clara and Ellie were fun for the kids and gave them new things to do in the waterpark. 











SG is getting tall to stand up on the ropes course, but she uses her strength and wiggles across. 

Charlie prefers to stay low and often drops down on his belly to pull himself across the course. 




The kids completed all of the magi quest games and moved up to the next level and started learning to use a totem in their play. 



 Time to get relaxed and.be a little silly!

We tried Ten Paw bowling and it was really fun! The ball is smaller and not as heavy as a bowling ball making it easier for kids to manage.

We had a fun 2 days! Riding water slides, playing magi quest, and seeing school and church friends!

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
