So...I was excited to think about the girls' FIRST Leap Day, yesterday.
I saw a cute idea (thanks, Helen!) to create a time capsule of sorts, documenting a slice of life...to be revisited every Leap Day.
I don't yet have everything bound, sealed, and buried in the backyard (kidding!), but here are the elements from our Leap Day scrapbook...
The girls made frogs from scrapbook paper, ribbon, and sequins, to serve as the cover for our book.
Here's our "slice of life" photo of the day...the girls, just up from nap, wearing their penguin shirts for probably one of the last times, having changed into yoga pants after our early-morning trip to the grocery store. They were crawling all over each other, constructing their train set.
Self-portraits, each labeled with their best "A" and "B", respectively.
And here's a little "interview" I did with each of them...
Baby A

To think they'll be SEVEN when we pull this out of the cabinet...wow! How fun it will be to show them what we did when they were three! And here's hoping they'll be willing to humor their mama when they're eleven!
Hope you had a memorable Leap Day (or Hop Day, as Baby B kept calling it as she and her sister hopped like frogs much of the afternoon)!

Love this...Now, I'm thinking I should have let the boys bury a box of treasures in the yard for them to dig up next time.
I love going through all their school projects and crafts that I have saved.
btw, I shared this on my facebook page.
Well, look at how cute you are!!!!
You are that mom :)
LOVE the self-portraits and all their answers. They know their own minds - love it!
PS do you keep everything they make? I can't remember if you said what you do on that post of mine? :)
Love the frogs you had them make! That is adorable!
What a totally fabulous idea...I am stealing this...in 4 years! LOL!
(I suppose I could do one for them for this year though...right?)
oh wow!! what a fun thing to do! And so crazy to think they'll be 7 when you pull this out again! wow!!!
Love their answers. Turquoise? I am pretty sure that word isn't even in any of my kids' vocabularies! ha!
