Hide and Seek

I'm sitting here observing a very interesting game of hide and seek as I feed baby Payge. Zachary put Chayce in a hiding spot, told her to "stay there", ran off, counted to three, then came back and found her. Seems like cheating to me. It's almost as bad as playing against yourself.

Now Chayce is crying because she doesn't want to be seeker. Zach has a solution, "I know! We'll BOTH hide." I'm still trying not to laugh. I wonder how long they'll stay hidden.

Oh, wait. Perhaps it doesn't count as staying hidden if you yell to each other things like, "I'm behind the couch if you decide you want to find me!" Silly children...oh, how I miss being little.

You want me to what?

Do you ever wonder what is going through their minds when you look at the faces they make?

They look nice, but...

Last week Zachary's glasses finally broke after months of abuse from his sister. While at the optical shop, he selected the pair seen in the picture. Alas, his stingy parents chose function over aesthetics, but we did get this picture.

The balancing pictures

A walk in the parks

This last weekend we walked to the farmer's market to get some asparagus. On the way back we played at the park and along the great walking trails that span the distance between our home and the market. Chayce did a lot of balancing acts, and demonstrated some advanced falling. No permanent damage was incurred as part of the demonstration(s).

Growing...

For the benefit of the grandparents, here are a few baby photos, since we don't have any hilarious stories to tell about her (yet). It seems she was more impressed with the cute blouse than the ND t-shirt!! Video below was taken today.

Why is Daddy Wearing A Dress?

Zachary painted a family portrait yesterday. It wasn't until later, when sitting at the table (the portrait hanging in the dining room) that Chayce, while admiring Zach's work, asked, "Why is Daddy wearing a dress?"

We all turned, and Zach stated, "Well, at least we know that Daddy usually wears pants."
