Sunday night is movie night at our house. After eating homemade pizza, I pop some popcorn and get drinks ready while the kids change into their pajamas. Magen gathers up a basket full of stuffed animals and we all head to the basement for a kid flick. It’s a nice little routine.

But that’s not how it happened this past Sunday.

Just as the pizza was coming out of the oven, a thunderstorm was brewing and the wind was really picking up. The kids were already in the basement, so Tim and I took the pizza downstairs to eat while we watched the movie… and the kids never realized they should be scared.

This is the award-winning photo I snapped in the basement just before we dug in. (It’s hard to be creative when you’re hungry!)
