When you meet new people, it is always a good idea to greet them properly. Usually this is a hand shake, a smile or maybe for those who you really know well, a hug.
In my neck of the woods, when you are really happy to see someone, like say your sibling, you do a little something called Squiggle Wiggle Huggle.
Here is what you do.
First, find someone that you really, really like or even love and grab them.
Make sure that you squeeze them really, really tight and do a little squiggle.
Then you get your wiggle on and fall to the ground squiggling and wiggling as you go.
Make sure that there are lots of giggles in your huggle.
Because you want to make sure that the ones that you love, really know that you mean it.
And that is how you give those you love a proper greeting.

I love it! And am now determined to greet someone that way. That’s got to be acceptable in college, right???

I think that it is totally acceptable in college but those boys might take it the wrong way so just be careful.

What, no pictures of all the snow you have? ‘Cause really, I needed more snow in my life today.

Yeah, I am so over the snow so I refused to acknowledge that it is there so the last thing I want to do is take pictures of it.
[Reply]
Those pictures make me want to go and squeeze and giggle and huggle and all that good stuff. I can still do that with a teenager right? They won’t get all yucky about it, will they?
Looks like they love each other a lot. Congratulations on being featured today.

Now see…I have been doing it wrong. I squeeze pretty tightly but I have been missing the squiggle! Sheesh.
*off to try the squiggle hug*
**anticipates the teenager will hate me**
Hope that you “meet” tons of new people from your blogtrotting day…it will be their pleasure to mee YOU for sure!

Thanks! I am glad that you like what you see.
[Reply]
Seeing these makes everything else seem so trivial.
LOVE the blog-over! I am getting one too
[Reply]
Looking at that comment it makes no sense… let me clarify. Seeing kids like this makes things like work, commutes, clients and grocery shopping trips seem bearable.
Those pics are what “it” is all about.

You are so right. You know, this is one of those mommy moments that makes you forget things like the fact that one of them peed in my shoe this morning and ripped a library book to shreds.

I found you via Blogtrotting. How cute! This is why I always wanted a twin when I was a kid — an instant best friend. And now I know that I also just needed more Squiggle Wiggle Hugs in my life.

Hiya! Just visiting from Blogtrotting.
Awww…I could so use a squiggle-wiggle hug.
It’s nice to see siblings enjoying one another. I am told that I once smacked my little brother over the head with a xylophone mallet. Repeatedly. 8-/
Beautiful children. Pee-pee in shoes and all. lol…

That’s so fun! We do “squeeze” with our kids. Basically we hold them and hug ‘em really really tight until they let out that little squeak noise. So fun and they both love it. My parents used to do that with my little sister and called it “heart.”
