Natalie was on the front steps counting. Heading out to hide, Joseph ran off in the opposite direction than his mommy and lil' sister. Claire and I tucked ourselves behind the hedge of bushes on the left side of our house (we have hedges everywhere!) and apparently did a good job of hiding because it took Natalie forever to find us. She found Joseph and then they both went on the lengthy search for us. Finally, Joseph says to Natalie that we must have went inside the house to hide. That's when I did a "yoo-hoo" to clue them in on where we were. Natalie screams, "Give us a hint." I remained silent as Claire began to sing softly. "Shhh," I told her as I gave her a smile and touched her lil lips." I gave another "yoo-hoo" and suddenly they were on the right side of the house. Claire and I remained quiet (Claire did great - she's gotten the hang of hide-n-seek by now, I think.) Suddenly we saw Joseph run by (with our handy lil' camera in my pocket - I pulled it out to see if I could catch him in a pic to show them once they found us how close they were). He passed right by us heading into the back yard. Natalie was right beside him. They took some time looking everywhere in the backyard (where there are lots of places to hide). Meanwhile, Claire and I were enjoying our
time hanging out tucked behind/in the boxwood bushes anyway. It was great because we could see out, but they couldn't really see us. After awhile, Natalie was running back to the front yard and while almost passing us by again caught a glimpse of us and backtracked. Upon finding us, Natalie giggled and shouted with excitement to Joseph. I got up. Claire stayed tucked away for a couple more minutes. We looked through the bushes and saw her and were laughing because it was like she didn't want to come out and be "found". I was able to get a picture of her peering through the bushes before Natalie got back there, swooped her up and carried her out.
