Leap Year = Bonus Day

Leap year every four years is just enough time for me to forget about it in between. It seems so foreign, even though we have been doing it every four years for a long time! And, I don't know, it kinda feels like a "bonus" day - you know, like getting an extra hour of sleep in the Fall for Daylight Savings when you "fall back" an hour. Let's see four years ago... February 29, 2008...
Sean and I had been married for just over 2 1/2 years. Ethan was almost a year old. We had just bought the Explorer (only one more year until it's paid off... yay!). Our nephew was born a couple weeks earlier. Three weeks later I started this blog. And I have NO IDEA what we did on that particular day! Oh, well. I did try looking for a picture around that time, but early 2008 is right in that scary time-frame of pictures I'm pretty sure are lost (before I started buying a new SD card once one was full instead of relying on the computer for the uploaded images). I'm praying they're on a picture CD somewhere, but I'm afraid to know for sure that they're gone forever.

Anyway...

So how did we spend our "bonus" day this year?? Ha ha! Nothing exciting at all. Typical chores were done... cleaning the kitchen, sweeping the floors, picking up around the house and making dinner. I did bust out two new blog posts: Cinder-Ethan {the funny tale of Ethan's shoes being accidentally dumped in the recycle bin and lost forever} and Rash Wednesday {the funny title, but sad tale of Sean's allergic reaction to something, though we don't know what!} And also trimmed up the mop that was sitting on top of Ethan's head!

Before

After

Dinner resulted in an empty milk jug, so I went to the store while Sean finished getting Ethan ready for bed. Glad I went to the store last night as opposed to this morning, because we woke up to this:

SNOW... On March 1st... in the valley!! Crazy!!

Driving conditions were fine - our school district wasn't even put on delay - but I still prefer to stay in, turn the heat up and enjoy the quiet whiteness from inside our home. Of course, it's already melting away, but I see some baking, snuggling and movie-watching in Ethan and I's day today!!
