LOL Oh yes, gotta love the tackle hug. Have the kids introduced to “glomping” yet?

I was scared as well… Here’s the definition from Urban Dictionary, which from my experience is closer to a tackle than a hug.
Glomp – v, to glomp
NOT sexual, it is the action of one person lovingly (and dramatically) attacking another with a hug.
A glomp is often preadatory and lies somewhere in the grey area between a caring embrace, and a flying leap to tackle someone.

…we were probably both there all the time, but too busy drawing (or whatever it is we do that fills up the small space that appears when we are not drawing/thinking about drawing!)…

I walked a lion hat out to the buses today. When I commented on her ears and nose, she got the biggest smile and wiggled her head around the whole time we walked 🙂 I got no tackle hug though. Now I’m a bit sad!
