New Clubhouse

Over Labor Day weekend, we cleaned out Chris' closet.  Got rid of some junk, old clothes etc.  It freed up a lot of space in there and so now it is a little hide away for the girls.  They used to hide in there anyway among all the junk, now its just a little more spacious for them.  Every chance G gets, she tries to put all of her blankets, pillows and babies in there to chill.  The first night we had it we read books and said prayers in there before bedtime.  They thought it was the coolest.

Chris' Giants flag is the "door"

 

Hide and Seek

These girls are OBSESSED with Hide and Seek, especially when Chris is around. Elia is especially hilarious about it. She sits still so well when she knows she is hiding, and sometimes she willingly encloses herself into the laundry room or a closet just so she can hide. If I open the door to get her out, she says "No, hide!" and then pushes the door closed. This is more or less how it goes:

Chris is notorious for finding really good hiding spots (like laying across the kitchen counter, etc.) and is teaching the girls his ways. He even got G in the wash machine the other night.

No children were hurt in this game of hide and seek. Whenever we play hide and seek, there is constant adult supervision. No doors are ever closed on our children!

Hiding

Elia has gotten the hang of hide and seek thanks to daddy and sister. She will stay really still under a blanket or behind some pillows until someone finds her. Then she gets really excited when someone finds her. So cute. Their current favorite is the linen closet:

Last night, I was vacuuming and Gianna and Elia ran into their room and hid. They sat like this in there for about 20 minutes until I was all done!
