Ready or not, here we come.

We've been in a really fun habit as of late - playing hide and go seek after dinner with the kids. Both Maureen and Rowan get really excited, and Kristin and I are willing participants. Because of my cheating, we've restricted the hiding places to just the first floor. I think the fun thing for the kids is being found, not necessarily being successful hiders. Rowan will hide for a while, and then seek the seeker out if too much time has past. They both like to be seekers too, because of the counting involved. I like to make Kristin laugh with creative hiding places, like the time I had Maureen on my shoulders, standing in the middle of the our office/den, with only a blanket draped over us. It's fun to hear everyone giggle, and it's a great activity to have after I've been at work all day long.
