Watching Fairy Movies...Scott, Jack and Logan Style

This is just a little bit of daily life I'm recording...nothing too special but something I want to remember...

Several times I've caught Scott, Jack and Logan watching "girl" movies or shows.  Apparently it starts like this...

Scott turns on a fairy or princess or ballerina movie for Des and Bri to watch.  Scott usually sits down with them and starts to get a bit drowsy.  Jack wanders in and tries to figure out what is so interesting to his sisters and Papa.  He sits down and gets comfortable.  Then Logan wanders in and tries to figure out what is so interesting to the rest of the family.  He, too, sits down and gets comfy.  Eventually the girls wander out of the room and find something else to do.  This is when I walk in and find Scott, Jack and Logan completely engrossed in Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue.

Hide and Seek...Des and Bri Style

This is just a little bit of daily life I'm recording...nothing too special but something I want to remember...

Neither Des or Bri fully understand the concept of hide and seek.  When they play it with each other it's all good because they follow the same rules as each other.  But when they play it with others...it's a bit confusing for all involved.

It goes a little something like this...
Bri covers her eyes and starts counting.  Des runs and hide.  And then, before Bri is finished counting, Des will run back to Bri and shout and giggle and "surprise her" when she stops counting and uncovers her eyes.  Crazy giggles ensues from both girls.  Repeat.  And repeat.  And repeat again.
