In A Dark, Dark Room...

One of our goals as parents this year has been to create more Family Traditions within our little family. Tonight Donnie and I started a brand new tradition... Spooky Story Night.

When the kids finished with their bath, I presented them with flashlights and brand new Halloween jammies.  I told them that after they put on their jammies that they needed to use the flashlights to find Daddy in our house...

With scary music and spooky sounds booming from our stereo... They walked through the pitch black house in search of Daddy. 

The kids found him, surrounded by hanging clothes and darkness in our very very dark master bedroom closet.  Only candles lit up the room.

With a very deep voice Daddy invited Nate and Gracie into the closet... "Come in little children, shut the door, turn off your flashlights.  Gather 'round and enjoy cookies with me as I read to you a story!"

We sat in the dark and listened as Donnie read to us from this book.  When he finished reading, he asked the kids to make up their own ghost stories.

Their imaginations are HUGE, the stories were hilarious...

The cookies and milk were delicious!!!

Mission accomplished... Our family officially has the Halloween Spirit!!!
