Online Inspiration

Our days flow one into the next with work and school time. 
The school provided access to an app called Epic for reading all sorts of books. 
Charlie has gotten a lot of enjoyment out of the "Weird But True" books. It reminds me of how much we loved to look through the "Guiness Book of Records" when I was a kid. 

We thought a blurb about a rhinoceros who paints with her mouth sounded like so much fun that Charlie should try it! He was intrigued by the painting he made, but said it was hard to hold the brush with just his mouth!

Sis has enjoyed some of the apps and online materials teachers pulled together to make learning fun. 


Her favorite party is the community time with her classmates each day!

Where there's a will there's a way! Our choir director made choir practice a virtual experience for the kids! We have gotten so used to our activity free lifestyle that we almost forgot to attend! Charlie wasn't too sure about it, but Sarah Graves thought it was nice to see everyone. I think they all missed their routine of getting QT for dinner with daddy before choir!

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
