Leap Year Post?
How appropriate that I posted that picture of Majora's Mask yesterday because Jet and I spent a lot of time today lying down looking at that decoration.
Normally on February 29, I like to blog about what big changes have happened in the last four years. Today, however, I'm not feeling well so... you don't get that this Leap Day.
Happy Leap Year anyway.

Book Report
It's National Rationalization Day today, February 23. I don't want to put the effort into talking about what we've done today. I'm rationalizing that I already have a blog post ready to go so I'm just going to post this:
On November 20, I blogged about a book report Jr. Jr. did on a Brandon Mull book.
For another book report, he picked another Brandon Mull book. This time it was Fablehaven: Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary. He chose to draw a classroom mural showing a scene from the book. He chose a scene where the characters come up against a hydra. Jr. Jr. made sure to use the scene in the book to get the details on his mural. One of the heads was bigger than the other, one was missing an eye, three of them just had stumps instead of heads, etc. etc.
He again did such a great job and we're proud of him for working so hard.

Random Acts of Kindness Day
February 17 was Random Acts of Kindness Day. It was a chance to look back on some random acts of kindness I've experienced over the last few months.
One evening, there was a knock on our door. When we answered it, there was a group of young women from the ward with a baby blanket in their hands for our little baby (they also gave Nichole a ride home). One side of the blanket has green owls on a blue background. On the other side it has blue owls on a green background. It's a nice big size and so soft. Thanks, young women.
Our kids have been great at entertaining Jet from time to time so I can do things like make dinner. I don't always have to ask them. They just do it.
Jr. is even able to get Jet to sleep sometimes. Bounce baby with foot while reading book. Talent.
On Random Acts of Kindness Day, we watched an episode of Random Acts on BYU TV.
After the boys went to bed, I found Nichole starting to sketch a picture of Jet.
I guess random acts of kindness revolve around baby this year.

Valentine's Day 2020
February 14 was Valentine's Day again this year.
My sweetheart, Jeremy, brought me breakfast in bed. I love him.
For dinner, I attempted to make heart-shaped chocolate chip pancakes. After I finally got one that looked like a heart, I gave up and made regular shaped pancakes. The kids didn't complain about the shape.
Lucky shared candy with everyone. The week before at school, Jr. Jr. and Lucky received candy-grams, a sucker on a card from Mom and Dad. They liked that.
February 14 was also Organ Donor Day, since we're talking about hearts. I talked to my kids about a good friend of mine from high school who had cystic fibrosis. Wonderful girl. We did theatre together. She could juggle better than me in high school. As an adult, she was blessed with new lungs because someone was an organ donor. She lived to be in her thirties, had a good life, a good husband, cats, she knitted, and did a lot of wonderful things for others. When she finally did pass away, it happened in such a way that some of her organs were able to be used for others. I will always remember my friend with fondness and recognize her as a very loving person (which is appropriate for Valentine's Day). Thank you, friend, for your amazing life and example.

Peppermint Patty Day
February 11 was Peppermint Patty Day. Jeremy and I each ate one.
I saved them from Christmas for this specific purpose. Well, they were leftover from Christmas and before I got to eating them, I found out about Peppermint Patty Day, so then I saved them.
I believe Nichole also had some left over so I told her about the holiday.
That day was also National White Shirt Day. I washed two.
