Alrighty, so here's what actually went down yesterday:
We made a time capsule "video" made up of shorter videos of the kids singing, playing piano, being interviewed, etc...and added in pictures of them in different situations (with their favorite toys, standing by the growth chart, in their rooms,....). The kids also wrote letters to themselves in 4 years and filled out a short questionnaire (how tall are you, what is your favorite color and food,...). We're going to put this into a special envelope and (hopefully remember to) open it on Feb. 29, 2016 (I even added it to my google calendar to remind me!).
We watched videos of jumping and leaping animals.
We read about leap years. Did you know that on years divisible by 100, you only add that extra day if the year is also divisible by 400?
We jumped and hopped, lots - long jumps, high jumps, silly jumps, hopping in place, hopping around, ....
We went to piano lessons (same thing we do every week, but it provided a reason to get out of the house for a few hours).
And today we finished it off with alliterative sentences to go with "jump" and "leap." (And, oh the giggles coming from the dining room table as they composed and shared their sentences!)
So, happy Leap Day! We'll see what we come up with in four years (and I really hope we remember to watch the video and can even find it!).
