My kids used to play ‘hot lava’ in the family room. The lava was the carpet, so you had to avoid stepping on the floor.
They’d put cushions down, and climb all over the furniture. This image made me smile just remembering those days. I think they would have jumped at the chance to do it in a furniture store, don’t you?
I am out of town, celebrating the Baptism of Elizabeth Ann. I’ll see you back here on Wednesday. Let’s make a date to meet then, ok?
Have a wonderful day!

What a great game!
I’ve never heard of it but wish I had when I was younger.
Cute idea.
Dear Ceil
Oh, when we as kids played something similar, we climbed the walls of the passage with the one foot plastered on the one wall and the others one on the other wall. It was just great fun! My aunt never complained about the little feet signatures on the walls.

What a sweet memory!
Take care and I’ll check in with you again on Wednesday.
My kids used to play that game too! Good memories.
Enjoy your time with that sweet baby!
Hi Ceil – Have a wonderful time at the baptism and a very Happy Valentine’s Week!
Yes, I am sure that they would have enjoyed playing Hot Lava in the furniture store! I know you are enjoying your time away with family and that sweet little girl!
Enjoy the wonderful celebration! See you soon!
It is an honored tradition, isn’t it? Our daughters played hot lava and now our grands do – along with “crocodiles in the water”. What a fun and simple way to use their imaginations! I hope Elizabeth Ann’s baptism was a joyous occasion and will be a wonderful memory to cherish, Ceil.
Such a cute story.
I remember joyfully playing hot lava too! Enjoy the baptism of your little sweetheart!

See you when you get back, dear Ceil
And you know what, I remember playing a game similar to the one your kiddo’s played – sweet memories!
Love and hugs to you!
Cute! I’ve never heard of this game; my grandkids would like it!
Have a great trip,
Jen
AH..Yes, what wonderful memories. So looking forward to reading about your visit with your grandchild. Blessings
We used to play similar games.
Fun memories. Enjoy the baptism!
What an imaginative game. I like the idea of it.
Not sure how I missed out on that particular game! Sounds hilarious. I may have to try it now, even if I am a grandma! Enjoy your time with your precious new granddaughter. What a joyous occasion! May God bless you time together with much laughter, hugs, kisses and sweet baby breath!
I think my sons did the same thing! They also had this *rule* – when one of them wanted something from the kitchen, the person who got up first had to get it. Those boys would starve, I think, before they gave in. And, I can’t tell you how many times I heard, “Hey Mom, since you’re up, could you get…you know the rule.”
Boys.
Can’t wait to hear all about the baptism.
GOD BLESS, Ceil.
Have a safe trip, Ceil. Enjoy this beautiful celebration and dedication to Christ. Love the memories. When we all were kids and my aunt used to sit for all the nieces and nephews (11 of us just 5-6 years apart) she used to make us sit in chairs a few feet apart as a time out…when she turned her back all 11 of us used to scramble around as if the floor was made of lava and switch chairs before she could see us. I’m surprised she ever allowed us back, but something tells me she was having more fun than we were! God rest her soul, we all miss her so much!
Lol! I used to play this game when I was young! Still do sometimes because my daughter likes it
Ceil, so glad you got to be part of the baptism. What a blessing! My kids play like that, too.
