Making Memories

McKay LOVES family home evening. This past week he asked nearly every day if we could have family home evening. We try to play a game each time we have it and the last two times we have played hide and seek. McKay, Max and I will play during the day so having Daddy play with us adds a fun new dimension to the game. It has been fun coming up with hiding places, especially spots where Max won't give us away too soon. Other spots are so funny we all laugh and laugh together... the kind of memories I love to make.

Some of the things making us laugh:

McKay hiding behind the curtains... with his feet hanging out waving back and forth.

McKay running to the front door for his turn to count and not stopping in time so his head bounces off of the door. And it doesn't phase him one bit. The first time he did it Jordan burst out laughing and asked if he was okay. McKay started laughing hysterically and as he turned back around to count by the door, his head bounced off the wall. Too funny.

Jordan sitting on the floor in Max's room with a blanket over him. I saw him and was laughing so hard I nearly dropped Max. He was laughing so hard he couldn't hardly breath since he was doubled over (and because he had passed gas and couldn't breath, praying I would find him quickly). I am laughing now as I remember...

Me hiding on the floor in Max's room (his room is very dark...) half hidden by the shadows and a blanket and fooling BOTH McKay and Jordan.

Jordan sort of hiding behind and under Max's crib. He didn't have much time so as I said 20 I heard a thump. That was his body hitting the wall, and pulling the crib back over him.

I was the one looking and McKay came out of my bathroom holding his underwear out to me. I was worried they were wet. No, just inside out. He had been hiding in my shower and needed to go potty. After he was finished he said he had needed to go everywhere he had been hiding (imagine his arm quickly pointing to all the places he had hidden) and couldn't wait any more. 'You can find me in a minute, after I wash my hands.'

Jordan hiding on the floor in Max's room behind my rocking chair. McKay saw him and asked 'Can you get out?' Jordan did looked pretty tight.

Hmmm... I wonder where McKay is hiding?!

Hide-and-seek is one of our family favorites too! I usually have to hide with Kierra, who has discovered her voice, and it is a lot more challenging!
