I Was Trying to Be Sneaky...

My sister called today and, even though I'm not much of a phone person, we always end up chatting for a long time. We go in spurts of the frequency of phone calls - sometimes hours in between, sometimes days, and sometimes weeks. BUT - almost no fail - when she calls, the kids NEED my attention. I mean - "Mom! This is urgent and I demand your attention at this very moment or something horrible is going to happen!" - kind of NEED.
I promptly sent them on their way upstairs to play. After I hung up, I noticed it was very quiet upstairs (could be bad, could be good...) so I very quietly went upstairs and followed the sound of the few little whispers I could hear.
I peeked out over Jayden's dresser to snap a picture but - I kid you not - right at that moment, Riya says, "Jayden, I'm going to go downstairs to be with Mommy."
In my desperation to capture this cuteness in a picture, I quickly took one but not a very good shot  - then, right as I'm about to hit the shutter again, John calls me. This made Emma spot me and decide to hurry and get out of the closet as fast as she could. Hence the blurry figure escaping the "club house".
They had emptied Jayden's closet and "built" a club house. They were using that castle as a mail slot (the drawbridge opening) and drawing/writing mail back and forth to each other.
I love it when they play so well together - I wish I had gotten a better picture! :)
