School Day

By -
The kids having P.E. time playing in the backyard in their pajamas. They would really like to play basketball, but we just don't have the right yard for a hoop.

Sarah Graves had a lot of work to do a science project, a reading summer and some Spanish and math. She decided to practice her keyboarding skills and type her science report. Then, she decided it would be easier to make a palette next to me so I could help her with the word processing software. She panicked when she saved over her original work and we had to have a lesson on file management!

Lucy likes to come through for snuggles!

We stepped outside to share a photo with Sarah Graves to be part of bringing Allelujah back after Lent. 

I am so proud of the creativity and thought Sarah Graves put into her visual for her science ecosystem project. She was assigned prairie. At first, she was bummed wanting something more exciting like jungle or ocean. Then, she did some research and realized that the African savanna is home to some of her favorite animals - giraffes and elephants!

We were both tired once she finished all of her work that day. She was pleased to get her project turned in a day early and I was pleased to see her working so hard.

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!

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
