Leap into new things!

Happy Leap Day everyone! It's like a free day :) I always think about people who are born on Leap Day. How weird that would be!

Continuing in the spirit of trying new things, I am making Lentil Soup!

I've never cooked with lentils before (in fact, I don't think I've ever HAD lentils before!), but they are really healthy (high in fiber and protein). Then, Sasha mentioned she was going to make lentil soup, so I figured I would give it a try, too. I found a crock-pot recipe so I could just put it together and leave it alone. Should be done before bed...and ready to eat tomorrow! Hope it is as good as it looks!

What do you do with two kids who have cabin fever on a snowy day? Fill up containers with water and let them loose in the kitchen.

They played with these containers for almost an hour this morning. Well, Finn did, but he kept taking them from Korri. Yes, I had quite the water puddle in my kitchen, but it was only water and took just a couple minutes to wipe up. I think I'll be using this activity to pass the time again.
