FED, UP, & KIDS PART IV

As the saying goes March comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb.  Depending on the weather, it can be reversed.  This day, first Sunday of March, the little lambs came in like lions, lions on the hunt!  Grandkids hunting fun.  They hunted food after a good romp in the yard, and they hunted each other during a good game of hide and seek.

Yes, they were hungry.  In the words of the first family's dad, shaking his head in non-understanding, "They're always hungry!"  

I asked the younger, "What are you doing in there?"  

Jacob, closed the lid, answered, "I wanta sucker."

I fed them ice cream, ALL of it!  

Noelle showed me her empty bowl, "I want more ice cream!"

I fed them Go-Gurts, "My favorite is cotton candy!" said Lilly.

At supper time, John fixed spaghetti. That didn't fill them.  I had to make another pot!  The second family's dad with beseeching puppy dog eyes said, "I want some."

Days later I found a dried up, sauced red, curled crunchy piece!  Now where had that been hiding???

If playing outside didn't make them hungry, playing "mean grandma" inside did.  That hide and seek game is their fav ever since I surprised them from behind a door with fingers to their neck.  And, since I hid on top of the sink vanity and touched one on top of his head.  One time I hid under a pile of covers then reached out stealthily with one hand to touch the nearest.

"AHG!  Ha, ha, ha!  Run!  It's mean grandma!" squealed Alayna.

Noelle won't hide.  She holds my hand as we search for the others, "I'm wiff you."

Jayden, the oldest is getting more clever. We could not find him.  We scoured twice.  He finally jumped out from behind the armoire.  But the best was when he hid in a corner behind a headboard and pulled a pillow up to cover his head.  We did NOT find him for ages and ages.  

Oh, the delight on his face!  He'd outfoxed us good!

The little lambs are growing up.  And going up!  Higher in the trees they climb, they stand up on top of the dog house now, and from the credenza into the bay window they gang up.  

I gotta up my game, I gotta grow as the grandkids grow!  Especially if mean grandma is gonna be the lioness leading the hunt for sneaky grandkids.
