It's Just Saturday!

Isaac had to go to Sunnyside all day today for school. Yeah for me! I am studying for a test for today, cleaning and doing laundry so Kaycee was a little bored to say the least. I wanted to get everything done this morning so we could go outside and play this afternoon but the weather is pretty yucky outside. She wanted to play with her bubble gun so I figured this would entertain her for a few minutes while I studied. I told her she needed to get shoes on and a coat. As you can see she dressed herself and had to take her bag outside with her. She has lovely bed-hair flying in the wind and YES, she is still in her pajamas. She didn't want to get dressed today and I didn't have time to fight with her. She just got her new pjs and loves to wear them.

When she finished off the bubbles she wanted to watch Little Bear on Noggin. He and his grandpa made a tent with sheets and slept outside. SO, I made her a tent so she could play along. She was so excited. I figured this way she was doing more than just watching television. She grabbed her teddy bear from her Great Aunt Jeannie, and we can't forget her baby doll, and went and played along. She is too cute!

Happy Leap Year!

Happy Birthday Grandma Bott.

Some facts about Leap Year!

"Leap Year" wasn't made to tease people, it is actually used to "fix" the error time misses in one year.

What is a leap year?
A leap year is a year in which one extra day has been inserted, or intercalated, at the end of February. A leap year consists of 366 days, whereas other years, called common years, have 365 days.

February 29, 2008
The year 2008 is a leap year. If you look at a 2008 calendar, you will see that February has five Fridays–the month begins and ends on a Friday. Between the years 1904 and 2096, leap years that share the same day of week for each date repeat only every 28 years. The most recent year in which February comprised five Fridays was in 1980, and the next occurrence will be in 2036. February 29, the leap day, has been associated with age-old traditions, superstitions and folklore.

Going Bongos!

So our friends Tarah and Dan got us, well me, hooked on Donkey Konga. It's a blast. I have been trying to find the game and bongos for a really good deal for awhile and I finally found some on ebay and won!! I've bid on many but finally won. I've been waiting for them in the mail for over a week because of the weekend and Presidents day so it has taken longer. Kaycee has caught on and everyday has to check the mail for her toys. Finally they came in the mail, but she was at Jena's house so I waited to open them until I picked her up. I knew that she would get a big kick out of finally getting "her toys" and she was.

We don't have a Gamecube, but hey, I have the bongos; thats all that counts.
