Leap Day 2012

Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing  We did this back in 2008...click here to see how much my babies have grown up since then!  David was a little embarrassed to participate this time...wait until he finds out that he has to do it on the next Leap Day, too, when he'll be 13 (13?!!!! Oh my!)!   

A Tea Party Fit for a Princess

Today Abigail and I went to a birthday party for friends at a local tea room.  The girls dressed up as princesses and we thoroughly enjoyed our tea party!

 A girl never really outgrows the excitement of dressing up like a princess for a tea party! :)

Imaginary travels

A mysterious person came into my kitchen the other day, handed me a pretty-smelling little sachet, and gave me this note:

"I am a weary traveler, and I don't talk.  I am very poor, and that is the only gift I have.  Please give me a gift, ma'am."

I handed the traveler a silver coin, and she left.

 A while later, she came back with another note:

"I have finished my journey, but I am wounded.  Rich people scratched and hit me.  Please care for me.  By the way, I am a great listener.  My name is Listener."  I tucked the wounded traveler on the couch, wrapped her wounded arm, and gave her a quilt, a book, and some Smarties ("medicine").

I love the journeys on which my kids' wonderful imaginations take us!
