Fooling Around

By -
Not usually pranksters at our house, we decided that we needed a few pranks for April Fool's Day just to add some fun!
I thought it would be hilarious to recreate one of Sarah Graves' favorite parts from Sheila the Great by putting toothpaste on the toilet seat! I snuck in after midnight to be sure they were really asleep and I could surprise them. As it turns out, Sarah Graves has a habit of inspecting the toilet seat before she goes (not a bad idea when you have a little brother) and she caught my prank!


My next idea was to put Jell-O in a glass and offer it to them as fruit punch. They thought it was funny, but quickly caught on to the joke. 

As it turns out, they had some jokes of their own in mind! Sarah Graves got me good by replacing my Coke Zero with seltzer water mixed with soy sauce! I was spitting and sputtering when I drank that salty mixture!

Charlie stuck an eyeball in Aaron's glass! The fun was anticipating and waiting for Aaron to notice it!
We all had laughs at our silly pranks! The best is waiting for the other person to find the prank!

Online classes continued as usual. 

Charlie finished his Superkids unit. 

For two months Lovie and Pops have been in Florida and finally came back!We decided that since we were being careful and haven't been in public for over two weeks it would be fine to see them. 

The kids were so excited to see them! We have called and facetimed, but nothing is as good as being together!

Happiness!

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
