Roseann did some work painting some dressers for the girls room, but she wasn't feeling very good later in the day, so I ended up having family home evening with the girls while she rested. We played together on the Clavinova and did a "name that tune" kind of thing, then we played several rousing rounds of "Hide and Seek". For Becca and Evee, there is probably no greater thrill than playing "Hide and Seek", and the funny thing is, they barely even play it right... they'll hide somewhere and then jump out to expose where they are if you're even remotely near their hiding spot. It kind of defeats the hiding and the seeking... They have also played "Hide and Seek" in the bus, where there are maybe two or three hiding spots, and even in empty library meeting rooms after my shows, where there is really no place at all to hide. But they don't care... There's something magical about the act of counting and seeking and hiding... or at least pretending to hide in the case of the empty library meeting room... and they just go nuts whenever we play that game.
Becca drew the picture below of The Incredibles, and insisted on taping it to our mailbox outside, in case The Incredibles themselves might come by and see it (after all, they could be working incognito for the Post Office). Becca's greatest wish is to make cartoons come to real life, and she keeps asking how that can happen. Of course, there is always that possibility in her imagination, and with things like Disney on Ice... but I also tell her that who knows... someday she might help develop real-life moving and talking cartoons.
