Trunk or Treats

By -



This year we went to two trunk or treats - SFUMC and St. B's. 
Sarah Graves worked really hard helping to plan and doing the decorations for the youth trunk. I think they made it look great!

Sarah Graves did a group costume with her friends Elizabeth, Carrie, and Chloe. She was so excited for this event!

Jono dressed as the ring master to go with the carnival theme, JJ is another leader and he helped the girls out by being Eyore, and JJ's long time friend Christopher jumped in the group!

Charlie was in the midst of baseball playoffs and on his way to practice, so he went with the classic baseball player costume for this event!

Livy was really excited to be there with her cousins and very much enjoyed hanging out with Sarah Graves and her friends. Sarah Graves was sweet to her and let her stay with her. 


Then, it was time for the St. Benedict's trunk or treat. 
With Charlie in his E.T. costume, Aaron and i donned ours as Elliot and Gertie. 



It was unseasonably warm and the costumes made it intense!

I think our role at trunk or treats may be transitioning from visitors to trunk hosts. We enjoy the dressing up and love the community feel of these fun events, but our kiddos are feeling grown up as they go around for candy with kids much younger.

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
