Duck, Duck, Goose!

Oh, yesterday was THE. BEST. DAY. EVER. At least a few moments of it were. The kids decided to play duck, duck, goose with stuffed animals included to make the circle bigger. Each time one of the older children touched Payge on the head and said "duck" she squealed with delight to be included in the game. Then, when Zac touched Chayce and said, "Goose!" both girls got up and started running. Because they all run at about the same pace, there was an evenly spaced circle of children running, and running, and running--not quite catching each other. I had to try really hard not to laugh...oh, who am I kidding, I laughed hysterically! Finally, they called it off and sat back down to try again, Chayce wanting to be "it". Again, Payge would squeal with glee each time she was touched, her grin unsurpassed by anything I've seen, and then when "Goose!" was yelled, it didn't matter who had been touched, they all started running in the same circle again.

Childhood rocks.
