spooky new traditions

i love reading about other family's traditions. i have come across many amazing ideas in the blogosphere. over the past year, i have incorporated so many new ideas and traditions, so it seems only fitting that i share the joy.

one tradition that i learned about last year was the tradition of *spooking.* you can read the blog post where i first heard about spooking right here. i had totally forgotten that i wanted to give it a try this year. and i'm so thankful that i stumbled upon this post again to trigger my memory!!

last night was the perfect opportunity to get our spook on. taylor went of with matty to his football game (does it concern any of you when your husbands play rec league sports?? there seem to be a lot more aches and pains as we get older...)

jack and i got busy putting together some treats, and then the spooking began. we were both downright giddy with the fun of it!! it was the perfect way to turn around a day that had been pretty stressful.
