after wrapping their heads around the science of why we have a leap day every fourth february & contemplating the dilemma of birthday celebrations for those born on february 29 (including their great-grandmother), the boys informed me that the next time leap year rolls around Little Man will be a senior in high school, Big Bro will be in his 2nd year of college, & their sisters will be college graduates! how's that for a mind numbing demonstration of "time flies"??
it was enough to wake me before consuming my proper morning coffee intake! it was enough to make me want to reach for a piece of comfort-chocolate! but, oops! still lent! hold on the chocolate... isn't it funny how an extra day on the calendar makes you want to celebrate just a little? there is an extra bit of silliness in the air & i love it!
oh yes, & it is friday too~ end of a hard-working catch-up week & all that too. plus the sunshine is absolutely brilliant. the birds are singing wildly outside my window. it is truly a day that makes me want to leap for joy!
