Tents

Miles loves to make forts and his favorite thing to do lately is hide. So he runs and hides behind doors, in closets,under blankets, pretty much anywhere. He especially likes to hide when someone is coming that has been gone for a while, this week Stephan has had to work a little late a few days and has been coming home while we are sitting at the dinner table, Miles wants to hide from him so bad, so I told him to just cover his eyes. Of course I have to do it as well and so Lucy tries to be just like us, she puts her hands "over her eyes" usually one on an ear and the other on the top of her head, never really over her eyes because then she may miss something. So there we sit waiting for daddy to come in the door from the carport, and I say "shhhhh" because hiding so obviously would be more discreet if we were quiet. The door opens followed by a loud chuckle by Miles and and very loud "Hi" from Lucy and me saying "shhhhh" Stephan of course loves these games and inspires most of the hiding and forts, so he immediately plays along saying "where is my family" and calling the kids by name. two entire seconds have now passed with Lucy throwing her arms in the air and begging(whining) for daddy to come hug her and Miles laughing and still trying to keep his eyes covered. I'm not sure why but I still have my eyes covered as if I am truly hiding. By the time Stephan has kissed Lucy enough to calm her down Miles has thrown his hand to the side with a huge smile as if he really had tricked his daddy. Its a fun time and so easy to amuse them:)
