A Perfect Day

By -

On Wednesday we enjoyed another beautiful day having fun in the pool and the beach.


That magical moment when you hear the ice cream truck just as you are coming out the door and make a run to the truck! Our jolly rancher push ups did not disappoint!

Then, we headed on to the pool!



We had the silliest fun playing some crazy scenario where Charlie was my 7 month old baby named Ferdinand who was amazingly strong from drinking his spicy, baby juice! 

In a different scenario, Sarah Graves was a helpless baby that Charlie found on the street. We called her "Weird Baby Off the Street!" We laughed and laughed as we swam around trying to find someone to take this odd baby!
Thank goodness we had the pool to ourselves for our interesting game!




Sarah Graves discovered that the tub could help her avoid putting her feet on the bottom of the ocean! She worries so about touching a fish or a crab!




Another sand sculpture! I loved these little surprises!

We headed to dinner at Allie's Bistro and it did not disappoint!
Sarah Graves was brave and tried dipping her bread in the olive oil with herbs. So good!

Charlie discovered he likes tiramisu!

After our yummy dinner, we headed to play putt putt!
We tried the pirate theme and had fun learning interesting facts about pirate life at each hole. Did you know pirates rarely used walking the plank as punishment?




In the midst of playing our game, we looked up to the most delightful surprise. Fireworks! We had a great view of them and let those behind us play through so that we could stop to take in the beauty!




I can't imagine a more perfect day! So much fun together!

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
