Wog Wog

Growing up my dad made up a really fun game he called "wog wog".

 Essentially it was reverse hide-n-seek/ Marco- Pollo  with a puppet raccoon on your hand. 

 1.  My sisters and I would hide our eyes on the base {my parent's bed}.  

2.  My dad and Wog Wog- the raccoon puppet -would hide somewhere in the house. 

3.   When he was hidden he would shout "Wog wog wog wog wog". 

4. That was our cue to go and find him. 

5. If we got stumped and couldn't find him we could shout "Wog wog" 

6.  Then my dad would have to shout "wog wog"

7. leading us right to his location 

8. Once found my dad would chase us back to base

9.  Then we repeated the process until bedtime

My Dad and I playing with "Wog Wog" when I was about Caroline's age

I LOVED this game as a kid.  

 Poor Caroline has been cooped up since Tuesday because of all the snow and ice. Caroline, Chris and I  have been playing our own version of "wog wog". Caroline has to run into her room and touch her bed while Chris and I hide our own "wog wog" raccoon puppet. Then she runs back into the living room and searches for the raccoon. She has really gotten into it and runs around looking for it. It has been great to run off energy.

She gets really excited when she finds it!

I would be the one to hide with the puppet but I'm moving really slow lately.  This will change when Ali gets here.  I have already found some great hiding spaces in our house.

Some of our less active indoor activities from the week include:

Puzzles, Play doh, Painting, legos, reading books, baking muffins and making sausage balls

She has been playing "daycare" with her dollhouse dolls/ safari animals.  It's pretty entertaining to listen to her play- someone is always having birthday.  Cinderella seems to have one every other time and she has them blow out candles. She cooks them lunch in her play kitchen and serves them oversized plastic food. Then they all take a nap and she reads them a book. The girl makes me laugh!

Finally today it was warm enough to go outside!

We ran around for awhile outside.  I even let her ride her tricycle.  I have loved our time together the past 2 weeks!
