Hide and Seek...sort of

So one of Ella Mae's favorite games is "hide and seek".....or her own special version.  She tells you to count to ten and she will go hide in a pre-determined place that she has already announced.  When your counting is up and you head to "find" her..you can't just go directly to the spot that you know she is comfortably tucked away (usually under some blankets or banklets as she calls them) in her or our beds...you have to say something like "Where is Ella?  Is she in the closet??  NOO..she 's not in the closet...is she in the bathroom??  NOO..she's not in there...under the bed??....you get the idea.  If you go directly to her she will correct you and make you dance through all the hoops to find her.

I was actually invited to "hide" with her yesterday.  We both snuggled under the covers, awaiting daddy coming to tickle our toes..she kept saying " shhh....be quiet" in her sweet lil' whisper....we were nose to nose..I could feel her anticipation and excitement. I realized I kinda like her version of  "hide and seek".   I am hoping to be "asked back" again.

The Rubinator  is still killin' it..she has two new fave things...playing "ride that pony" on your knee...she really gets that momentum goin' and starts gigglin'....too cute.  Our neighbor Ron (he has no youngin's) gave us an old wagon that was never used that the "culde crew" was eyeballin'...it just sat on his porch lonely as can be..until the other day he was cleanin' some stuff out and brought it by.....

           

She is the laughinest lil' lady on the block..so easy to please!  Ella Mae pulls her around the culde and down to the mailbox...although Ruby Doobs gets a bigger kick out of it when sister actually gets in there and rides with her...I can see why after my "hide and seek" snuggle with "sister"...both my ladies are infectious and (in the words of Depeche Mode)...I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH...

LUV TO THE PEEPS AND MY HEART AND THOUGHTS GO OUT TO ANYONE AFFECTED BY THE FIRES AND I AM REMEMBERING ALL THE AMAZING STORIES AND PEOPLE FROM SEPTEMBER 11....WE ARE ALL STRONGER THAN WE THINK!    I TRULY BELEIVE THESE EXPERIENCES BRING US TO OUR  HIGHEST POTENTIAL AS HUMAN BEINGS.......   LUV LUV LUV!!!
