My kids are playing hide and seek at this vey moment.  The interesting thing is that my children don't play hide and seek in the "usual" way.  Their game goes like this~one person hides, and the other two look for him/her.  But, those that are doing the seeking do not count, and then shout "Ready or not, here I come".  Instead, the "seekers" hide their faces until the "hider" is in his or her chosen spot, then the "hider" shouts out "GO!" and the 2 seekers then tear through the house, looking for the hider.

The homeschooling Mom in me couldn't resist pointing out that the hider shouting "GO!"  was giving the seekers an important clue to his or her whereabouts.  We then had a lively and interesting discussion about the fact that sound travels to our ears, just as light travels to our eyes.

Ya just gotta love those impromptu science lessons!!

Blessings,
