2007 10 01 hiding

Just a little update today. The little ones have been so wonderful lately, they are both displaying their manners quite often, and being so good with each other, I'm just immensely proud of them. This morning, however, I was glad to take them to their mom's for awhile. While I was getting ready Haylee came and asked me where Haydan was. He was just in his room playing a game so I told her that's where he was. She went around the house calling him and couldn't find him. Sine he wasn't in his room, we both figured he was hiding under the big dining room table, (his favorite place to hide because the chairs all have skirts and he can't be seen without moving the chairs). He wasn't there. I looked everywhere and continued to call for him and he just wouldn't come out. I was on the verge of calling the police when I decided to just scream for him so if he was still in the house he'd know I was not happy. Well, that convinced him to come out with his head hanging down. He had been in my office room hiding with an old bag of candy he found from his first birthday! I was so relieved to find him but so mad that he'd been hiding to eat candy - my blood pressure was so high I thought I'd bust a blood vessel!

The bag of candy was in an old aquarium that we used as a decoration for his first birthday and I left one bag of candy in it because the bag had fishes on it and the aquarium is fill of fish decorations. I never dreamed any kid would climb up on top of the desk and dig in there to get that candy. It just proves that if there is candy in the house, the kids will find it. So my mission today is to "sniff" out all the old candy in the house and get rid of it.
