Thursday night I had a meeting at the church at 6:20, then Corky had Young Men's (or "yum yums" accordingly to Emily) at 7:00. The girls were already in their pajamas and so rather than Corky bringing them to church to make the swap, I just rushed home. It was still light outside but the girls were ready for bed. Gracey asked if I wanted to play hide and seek and I agreed.
We had a killer game of hide and seek between me and my girls.
Let me tell you the skills my girls have...when I am "it" and counting to ten, all I need to do is follow the loud pitter-patter of feet scurrying though the house. As soon as I hit 10, the next thing I hear from Emily is "Mom!!! Come find me!" As if her loud stomping wasn't enough of a give-away.
My next spot to look is at the very spot that I hid last....you can bet your sweet bippy that is where Gracey will be. Not the most original of hiders, but we are working on it.
As for me, I am a pro. I hide in the good spots and I let the girls find me, sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes before I give a "psssst" or a knock. When they do find me, have your earplugs ready! It's not like I jump out at them, threatening the life of their favorite baby doll, though you might think with all the screaming. I have to remind them that they found me.
It is quite funny!!
