Yesterday morning, I had to go out for awhile. Ella came with me but I left the other girls with Madeleine. I gave them a couple of chores and told them to have fun playing together. When I got home a few hours later, the house was completely quiet. At first I thought the girls were all upstairs playing and I continued the phone conversation with my sister-in-law that I'd begun in the car (sorry, C :) Jes and I have no problem talking about basically nothing for long periods of time but after fifteen minutes, I decided I should investigate the silent house and at least verify that the kids were still there. Check out the pictures to see where I found them. They were so proud of themselves--first for doing all their chores and then for fooling Mama. I was totally impressed with the discipline they showed being still and quiet for so long. Poor Mia was very sweaty when I finally rescued her.
Note to self, if a few quiet moments are needed, hide and seek may be just the thing.
A little suspicious
Great hiding spot but I found Madeleine first
Hi Mama!
Tres petite
I must have walked past Sophie three times.
That's so funny. What a pleasant surprise that the quiet was something fun and not trouble. I'm definitely suspicious of the quiet around here, so that would have been fun.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm so surprised Sophie didn't giggle as you walked past!
ReplyDeleteThat was from Abby, by the way:)
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to play hide and seek when you all get here. But I guess they'll be ready to play hide and shriek after two days in the car!
