"Monster"

Each night before bed, partly to stretch out the time they have left before they're forced into sleep submission, and partly because they LOVE playing anything with their dad, the kids beg to play "Monster". The game basically involves Dana hiding in a variety of places around the house... ...then jumping out at the nervously tiptoeing children, running after them, while spontaneously making monster grunts and growls.
I mean...who isn't totally overcome by fear when they see this...
(I think that finger's supposed to be like a hook? :)
The jumping out is always the best.
I tell ya, this face makes me kinda want to run and hide too!
No one gets as scared as Sadie. She always wants to play but then half way through the chase she diverts her path and makes a bee-line straight for mom. But then the monster feels bad and comes to make sure she knows he's just playing. Happily, Sadie always forgives the monster.
