End of School

By -

Just like that, we made it to the end of another school year. We were all weary from our crazy activity schedule, but we celebrated BIG!


A little taller, a lot smarter, and so sweet!


This sweet girl gets more mature and responsible all the time!



After seven years of driving lower school carpool, this was my last time. It felt fitting to capture it since we have enjoyed many conversations while waiting here.

After school, we headed to May Day to celebrate with all their friends!

From May Day we headed for a late lunch of pizza together. I took the afternoon off and soaked up some good times with my kiddos. Then we headed to a fun celebration at church!

So much fun! Good food, bouncies, ice cream sundaes, cotton candy, and good times with other sweet families! Even rain couldn't stop all this fun!

The next night we headed to Cheesecake Factory to celebrate with family. Yum!




 I love celebrating these moments and hope my kids are learning that you can choose to make a fun celebration whenever you want!

Cloth vs. Disposable

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
