Daddy's Girl

These two people that I live with are kinda weird.  In a good way.  They have this special bond and I love to see it.

Every single day when Lonnie gets home it is the same routine.  Blakely hears the garage door go up and she yells, "It's Daddy!".  She runs and opens the door to the garage and yells DADDY until she hears him say "come on out".  Then she sprints up to him.  They get the paper and check the mailbox.  Then they come inside.  

After he changes clothes they begin their little routine.  They play chase and hide and seek until he can't play anymore and he goes and sits in his spot on the couch.  She promptly sits in her spot right in his lap.  They proceed to play with and annoy each other for the next hour.  Sometimes my mom is here and we just look at each other like "they are so weird!".

They tickle and poke each other.  They play giant and monster.  They growl, roar and laugh at each other.  She tries to freeze him while he blocks the El.sa curses.  He hides stuff behind her ear.  She hides herself under his shirt.  I swear they have their own little language because sometimes I have no clue what they are saying or talking about but they totally get it.  They do spider tickles (?), play juggins/sluggins/buggins (??) and there is always some sorter of fee fie foe fum game (???).  

Sometimes they just talk too.  She will ask him questions and he answers which leads to more questions.  I have overheard him explaining evaporation, telling her how he fixes things on his patients, why he needs to go to work to make money and the phases of the moon.  She listens intently to every word.  

After about an hour of this crazy she will remember I am there and look over and say, "I'm hungry now, Mommy".  Ha!  

The other day as I was laying on the couch watching them (and being completely ignored by them) I realized I haven't really taken any pictures of this and I should.  So I grabbed my phone and snapped a few.  Most of them turned out super blurry of course.  

But at one point, while they were catching their breath from all the tickles, she did this.  

And I just thought it was perfect.  This picture sums up exactly how she feels about him.  Completely enthralled.  It might be my favorite ever.  

I love these two weirdos.
