Fake Sleeping

My siblings and I (and a few close friends) like to fake sleep. I'm not exactly sure when it started, but I think it was when I was living in the 3 bedroom apartment with Mary and Jon. We would always pretend to be sleeping when Jon got home from work and always had a good laugh. We still find it funny, I guess because it's so corny and pointless.
Anyway, Grace has enjoyed fake sleeping from a very young age. Anna is even getting in on the action these days! Lately Grace has been doing it all on her own if someone is coming over, I don't even have to suggest it (which is funny to me in itself). She also loves to just lay down on the ground when we're outside and pretend to sleep, then Anna or myself will go tickle her to wake her up. 
Last weekend at the ball field I heard "Mommy, come wake me up!" and looked over to see this: 

I got Anna to go tickle her and wake her up and I love the series of photos that came out of it. It looks like Anna is roughing up her big sister!

This is awesome! I love that you guys do it, too. Hysterical! We've always been more the family that doesn't like to get busted sleeping and always pretend we don't. I will sit in the passenger seat with sunglasses on and still mutter the odd word at Shawn while I sleep so he doesn't know I fell asleep. So silly!
