spooky walk

Tonight after dinner the kids went in the backyard to play while I cleaned up dinner. It seemed to get dark super early and I wasn't surprised when they came right back in to find a flashlight to "look for ghosts". I quickly finished the dishes and then suggested that we go on a spooky walk around the neighborhood with our flashlight to look at Halloween decorations.



Before our walk we stopped to take pictures with the kids' pumpkins and our old scarecrow.



Addie brought a flashlight, Doak brought a monster truck-anyone surprised? You would think Doak was scared in this picture, but this is his "I'm trying really hard to smile for the picture so we can get this show on the road Mom" face!



There were quite a few houses in the neighborhood with Halloween decor-the kids loved these orange lights the most.

When we got home I lit some candles and got out a cool colored Halloween light that Cookie sent us and the kids had a spooky bath time in the dark. We finished the evening with a few Halloween stories before bed.

Happy Halloween!
