Family Basketball

By -
Our priest made a video to keep connection with everyone and in it she noted the the basketball goals at the school/church would be a way to come to a familiar and loved space and enjoy ourselves while social distancing. I didn't expect Aaron to get on the idea, but he did and the kids were eager to go somewhere! As it turns out, a beautiful spring day and outdoor games was perfect for us.
Who knew Sarah Graves is interested in playing basketball!

Charlie was all about it!



Charlie is prone to minor injuries and gets upset when he thinks he isn't winning...but there was lots of laughter for all! Lots of laughing at our own lack of skills in basketball and four-square! Lots of laughing at each other as we tried to be competitive, but it just wasn't happening! 

What a fun morning we had being together in the midst of so much uncertainty and change. I am so grateful for this family that Aaron and I have created and so glad we can be together!

Time to enjoy the rest of that gorgeous day working in the backyard!

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
