Leap Day 2008


We celebrated leap year 2008 with a party for the kids and two of their friends. devyn and kailey can over friday night and ate pancakes with syrup and drank green gatorade. then we baked lemon flavored cupcakes dyed green and frosted them with green frosting. they were supposed to be frogs but the kids wanted to frost their own and by the time 5 plates, cupcakes and globs of frosting were passed out, some were done with the cupcake, some were done with the frosting and some were spilled on the floor.
after cupcake time we decided to play some leaping games. thanks to creative homemaker, laurie for the great ideas and files to make the leap games. we played pin the crown on the frog prince, pass the toad & musical lily pads. Then we built a girls vs. boys fort with the cranium construction play things. the boys thought the tubes looked too much like light sabers, so most of the time was spent taming them.
The kids were sent home sugared up with extra cupcakes and homemade t-shirts stamped with a frog and Leap Day 2008. Payton loved the musical lily pad game so much we played it a few more times that night.
It was a great way to celebrate February 29th.
