Leap Day Weekend

This was the most fun Leap Day Weekend that I remember (out of the 7 that I've been around for). Friday we went to Panera and I got the you-pick-two meal. I got a sandwich and a chicken cesaer salad, with a ton of chicken for a half salad. Since I already had meat on my sandwich, I tried giving Dylan the chicken off of my salad. He ate ALL of it. I was so surprised. I'm so thrilled too. Maybe he just doesn't like warm food (that would be a blessing if he didn't). Seemed like he was still hungry when we got home - he went to the fridge and pointed at the cereal bowl in the fridge with his leftover oatmeal in it. (We just tried that morning to give him instant adult oatmeal instead of the baby stuff.) So I took it out and started feeding him the cold oatmeal and he ate ALL of it. Maybe he was just that hungry that he would eat cold oatmeal or maybe he really likes it cold. I'll keep you posted.

Between Panera and home we stopped at the grocery store. As soon as we walked into the store Dylan pointed to all the balloons. I think he spotted each one in the whole store.

Yesterday, we went to the national geographic museum to see the frog exhibit. Apparently that was a popular leap day weekend activity since there were a ton of people there. We all had fun. I liked the poisonous blue frogs and Dylan liked see how far he could "jump." Martin liked the big bullfrogs.

Today we had some friends over for lunch - the husband/father was one of Martin's former roommates and I hung out with the wife/mom at my breastfeeding support group since their son is 6 days younger than Dylan.

In preparation for our friends coming over, we decided to vacuum yesterday. We only do this when people come over sadly so it had been about 6 weeks, I'm not too proud to admit. We've had this vacuum since we got married and we're too fond of it. Every time Martin uses it, I think because of the angle he pushes it, it comes apart (part of the easy release filter). Well, we went to vacuum yesterday and the thing started spewing dust everywhere. Turns out I think we accidently threw out the filter when we were cleaning it out. I figured instead of trying to find the right filter for the thing and spending $20-$30 on a new filter, we'd just get a new vacuum. I did a little bit of research online and found one at BB&B. Martin went out and got it and used our 20% off coupon. It was a relatively painless process surprisingly. And the new Hoover works great. It feels like it's pulling you along.

So how did you spend your leap day weekend?
