Hide and.... well, just hide.


Tonight the kids and I played the best game of hide-and-seek.

My first hiding spot was in the curtain behind the Christmas tree (yep, still haven't taken it down yet, don't judge) in the dining room.

The kids could not find me, so after several minutes of searching, I waited until they were in the kitchen and boomed, "I'M IN THE DINING ROOM!"

They all three raced in the dining room, looked around, and screamed, "No you're not, mom! You're not in here!" and then raced out and kept searching.

They did eventually find me. Then it was Noah's turn to count, and then mine, and finally Sophie's.

Sophie, though, was having too much fun playing the game. She didn't want it to end. So when she found Travis crouched behind the toy box (he said, "I'm not using my best hiding skills because she's still too young,"), she said, "I can't find you!"

Travis, still crouching in his spot, said, "Sophie! Can you see me?"

She stared directly at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Nope. I can't see you anywhere."

Five minutes later, she's still searching.

This could be a long night.
