Planting Chums ::Week 2::

Hey, this is my 401st post!

Whoops! It seems I have forgotten to participate in Planting Chums (click on the button above for details) hosted by Hannah @ Aspire, in which I said I would. Sorry, Hannah! Okay, this week, we're supposed to talk about our favorite game. HERE's a link to Hannah's post about her fav game.

Alright, ooh. This is going to be a difficult one! Yikes! Mmm, mmm, mmm. It's so hard to choose. *taps chin* Well, my favorite game, isn't really a board game, or a card game. It's: HIDE-AND-GO-SEEK-IN-THE-DARK. Hannah, I hope that still counts! :)

Oh my goodness, if you've ever played this game before, you probably still haven't experienced the fun of it.... until you play with me and my sisters. lol =D Oh wow, we have TONS of fun with this game. We usually only play it when we have friends over, and that's what makes it so fun. Like, for instance, while my cousin, Nate was here this April with my aunt and uncle, we played HIDE-AND-GO-SEEK-IN-THE-DARK almost every night. =) Nate liked to hide in difficult spots, and it was actually quite frustrating, because 9 times out of ten he was the last person found, unless he was the one counting. Then I'm the last one found. :) We play to where the first person found is "it" (meaning, they have to count to 100 and find the peeps who are hiding). Anyways, one hiding spot that Caldirwen, Nate and I hid in was behind our schoolroom couch. Esara kept coming into the schoolroom saying to Narthea (who wasn't playing, just observing:), "I'm very thorough when I search for people, so I'm sure I haven't even passed them yet," and it was like the 5th time she had passed us. It was all we could do to not bust out laughing and give away our hiding spot. =D

Ooh, another place that I (yes, I) found that was sooooo sweet(!) was hiding behind the bathroom door. Okay, you might be thinking, "What's so sweet about that?" But, the sweetness is, the bathroom is where we counted. We'd close the door, turn on the vent (so we couldn't hear the noises the "hiders" were making) and count to 100. Well, no one ever thought to look in there, so what I would do was hide behind my bedroom door (which is at the end of the hallway, and no one EVER went down there first.... remember, it's dark), and then when the person who is "it" left and went into, like, the schoolroom or somewhere, I would sneak out of my room and get behind the bathroom door. Then, after everyone else was found, I'd hop out before they saw where I was hiding. I used that spot over and over, until Nate finally pried it out of me, then (when neither of us were "it") we would hide back there. I know, what was I think giving away my totally rad hiding spot to my cousin who was AWESOME at finding places to hide? I don't know. *throws hands up* Maybe it was because he kept telling me he was going to hide in my closet and make freaky noises when I would go back there to look for someone hiding. Maybe it was because he kept bugging me about how creepy being locked outside in the dark would be. *shrugs shoulders* Whatever the case was, I let my secret out, and from then on Nate would follow me back behind the bathroom door, and then tell me jokes that would make me want to laugh, and give away my awesome discovery. Besides the frustrations of having to share my hiding spot with an annoying pickle-of-a-cousin, it was sooo much fun! No one figured out where we were hiding. *knuckles with Nate* lol =D

Anyways, Hannah, I sure hope that counts as the kind of game you were wanting to hear about. :) Thank you to everyone who is participating in my {Let's Party, Shall We?} blog party! I'm sooooo excited about the turn-out! =D

Ashley, just in case it is you that wins, that will be perfectly fine if you're not here when I announce the winner. I will just leave you a comment on your most recent post if it is you, so that when you get back you won't have to search through the blog posts on your dashboard to see (or the posts on my blog, because, you know, I post about 5 times a day! lol). Okee, dokee? ;)

{Love}
