Trick-or-Treat

By -

Trick-or-treating went through many different plans. The kids decided it would. e fun to trick-or-treat with friends. Sarah Graves and her close friends from church had ideas to trick-or-treat in matching costumes in a neigh orhood that puts on a haunted house! Charlie was able to join up with a school buddy whose neighborhood does a block party before trick-or-treat. 
The plans went through some twists when Aaron's grandfather got sick and we planned to travel to Shreveport to see him; then, Charlie was sick with a stomach virus that we didn't want to take any chances traveling with. Fortunately, the virus was short lived and no one else picked it up. We were able to put our original plans back in place and everyone was happy!

Charlie, Ziggy, and a couple of Ziggy's neighbors had a ball covering every street in the neighborhood!

By the end of the night their bags were loaded down!


Sis had fun with her friends, but they were not hard core trick-or-treaters like she expected!

She still came home with lots of candy and a good many full size bars!

Glad they both had a fun time with their friends and enjoyed the trick-or-treating!

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
