Father's Day 2020

By -

Father's Day was a nice celebration for Aaron and Dad. 
I found this un craft to make a card that looks like a shirt and tie! Sis eagerly took it on and enjoyed creating a custom design for each of our special guys. 



As part of the randomness of COVID-19, the grocery had no wrapping paper suitable for Father's Day. Unless of course, your dad was also born that day! I punted and decorated the packages wrapped in brown paper. 

Charlie made Pops a super-sweet card that listed all the adjectives to describe how Pops makes him feel. 




Water balloon fun!


Twinsies!

Charlie slipped while playing with water balloons and scraped up his knees pretty good. It was made worse when he agreed to put liquid band-aid on it and it felt like fire!

Sissy baked a chocolate cake and decorated it herself! She agrees that piping icing is harder than it seems!


Chocolate cake helped put a smile on Charlie's face!

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
