Hide and Seek

Today we had a super bowl party and Lynn and Jesse's. The only part of the super bowl we like is the commercials but it was a good reason to get together and eat lots of not good for us food. Elly and Jake had fun playing in Lynn's basement office while we were upstairs. They started by playing hide and seek by themselves but it was the normal hid behind the couch, hid upstairs along side the frig so Jesse decided to help them hide. First it was Elly's turn to hide so Jake stayed upstairs with us while Jesse hid Elly. Jesse comes upstairs and says

Jesse - "okay Jake she's ready" he didn't go right away

Jesse - "you better go because I think she's scared".

Us - "where did you hid her?"

Jesse - "In a closet"

Us - "that's not so bad, why is she scared"

Jesse - "because I moved boxes and put her way in the back and put the boxes back in front of her"

Lynn - "did you leave the light on for her?"

Jesse - "probably not"

Well Jake couldn't find her because she wasn't in the typical behind the couch, under the desk spots so Jesse plays Hot Cold with him to find her. Now it's Jake's turn to hid of course he wants Jesse to help him and he wants to hid in the same spot Elly was just in... typical kids think the other won't even look there!! This went on for a couple more turns and then one of the last times Jesse hides Jake this is the conversation.

Jesse - "this is a good one"

Us - "where did you hide him"

Jesse - "in a suitcase"

Us - "what?, did you zip it up?"

Jesse - "yes"

Us - " you better go make sure El finds him"

Jesse - "oh he's fine I left it unzipped a little"

El comes up and of course she cannot find him so Jesse and Adam go back down to help her. As they play the Hot Cold game and get close to the suitcase Jesse kicks the suitcase hoping Jake would say something or El would think to look in there.... nope neither happened. Eventually El did find him... thank goodness.

Us - "poor blueberry, Lynn you better make sure you always find her during a Daddy game of hide and seek"

Jesse - "oh don't worry I'll remember where I hid her"

Us - "Let's hope he doesn't get distracted while playing and Lynn finds her all curled up in the back of a closet behind boxes taking a nap"

Here is Jake and Elly holding Garrett while he sleeps. They decided to touch and pick on him to see how much he could take without waking up. That became old and they ran off to play, they play so well together, it's nice to have cousins to grow up with and be close to. I know I did and I loved every minute of it. There were lots of games of Tin Can Killer Man (Older kids Hide and Seek) that we played in the dark every chance we could get.
