Yesterday was Leap Day 2/29/2012, Leap day only happens four times a year. So I found this really cool idea to time capsule the day of my family. The idea is to create a snapshot of today and open it 4 years later which I thought would be such a fun and memorable idea! My scrapbooks are chronological and would be the ideal place to keep my time capsule.My contents include-
photos from the day – I took a photo of our family and a few others that will tell the story of what we are doing on that day.
personal stats – This list will include everyone’s current height, weight, hair color, etc.
drawings – My daughter loves to draw, I did and outline of my children’s hands.
weekly routine – I wrote down our weekly school routine as well as church routine.
receipt –I kept a receipt of our shopping at publix and the kids McDonalds treat. The kids love chicken nuggets so I got the special that McDonalds had where your purchase 10 Chicken Nugget for $10 then they give you 10 Free. So the kids got ten nuggets each, costing me only $4.
current costs of living – This list includes the price of gas, milk, postage stamp, etc. I did the current President, Gas price, Cost of the stamp and cost of Milk.
4 handwritten letters – One letter to myself, one to my husband and one to each of my children.Each letter describes what is going on with each person now and what I predict will be happening in 4 years.I can't wait to read these letters to them in 2016!
Such a fun project I put together! Everyone should try this, it will be nice to look back and see what life was like on Leap Day.
I will attach a few pictures that went in my Capsule....
