Since this only comes around every 4 years I feel like I should post something. You know, celebrate, because its a special day. Ok, honestly its just like any other Wednesday, but you make the most of whatever you've been given, right?!
**As I type this the boys are looking out our second story window watching the garbage truck picking up the garbage. They are telling each other which way it turned, whose house its next to, etc. Garbage trucks are exciting. (Almost as exciting as Leap Day.) I love that they are fascinated by the simple things in life.
**We had Monkey Bread for breakfast. It turned out pretty good. The boys took the leftovers as snack for school this morning. I guess it was a hit. They didn't bring any home with them...Monkey Bread always makes me think of my Great Grandma Beach. I don't know why exactly. I think she use to make it? Maybe its because her name is on my Mom's recipe card for monkey bread? Isn't it funny the things that float around in our memories.
**Isabelle has started laughing like crazy and guess what?! She has my laugh. I love it. Especially because its a laugh that I've kinda hidden away for really funny stuff, but its her everyday always laugh at this point and oh my goodness its great! Shaking her rattle at her will really get her going and the boys seem to trigger her giggle whenever they run around like crazy people. Which is often, so there is lots of laughter happening. And a home filled with laughter is filled with love. At least, that makes sense in my mind.
**I made Peanut Butter and Jelly Pie Bars the other day. They turned out pretty good. I actually liked them best just out of the oven. Super gooey and sticky. It would have been heavenly over ice cream. Joey likes them alot cold or hot. Since I was making them for him, that means success!
**I found the PB&J bars on Pintrest. Seriously I love that place. I could get sucked in and never come out. Its like a break for my brain. I sometimes wonder how mom's survived before the internet. Really, how did you do it?! Sometimes I find myself about to die from lack of adult contact and then I sit down for five minutes and check facebook or look at nice pictures on pintrest and its like a defibrillator for my brain.
**I wonder what sort of things the next generation of Mom's will cling to in order to maintain their sanity. Or the illusion of sanity. At least its an illusion in my case. I don't mind though. Sanity is overrated, and kids are underrated so it all works together in the end. right?! I couldn't imagine life without my four bundles of joy. They are one of the greatest blessings in my life. Not only because they make me happy, but because through them God has reminded me of whats important, what is true and shown me how I can change to be a better example of him and his love. So, who really needs sanity anyways?!
**Time to wrap up these random thoughts. If I sit here long enough things will get REALLY crazy. Hope your Leap Day was hopin' (heeheehee).
