SG - School & Fun!

By -

The start of school is also the start of other fun activities!
We kicked off our Girl Scout year with a get together dinner and planning meeting. The girls are missing Anna Grace after she moved away to Brunswick. 

Chapel with my favorite girl!

You outing to an Escape Room and ice cream at Jenny's! 

Spirit week house shirt day. Charlie is in Grace and SG is in Belonging. Similar to Harry Pottery they compete all year in various activities to earn points for their house and the house with the most points gets a special field trip!

Team shirt day for spirit week!

Hat day! 

For another Girl Scout meeting they earned their Secret agent badge. Learning about blood splatter was fun! 

Choir performances paid off with beautiful singing!


We had a fun girls night going to Taylor Swift's Eras movie! Sarah Graves knew all the words and so much about Taylor's music! I had no idea she is such a Swifty!

Sarah Graves surprised us with a flute solo playing "Be Our Guest" at the fall festival! I had no idea she could play it so well!

The 7th and 8th grade band treated us to. some other Halloween favorites like the theme from Hocus Pocus and Harry Potter. 

Lovie and Pops are always there to cheer her on at whatever she does!

Eighth grade is going so well for Sarah Graves! She and her friend Lana are editors of the yearbook; she is serving as head of the sacristy for chapel; and she is keeping busy with events for Beta Club. She stays busy, but having her friends there with her makes these activities a lot of fun!

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

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
