Scared Silent!

Last night was a wonderful night. The kids asleep in their beds. Ben was on the computer and I worked on one of my projects (p.s. Corinne it's looking great) while we watched some t.v. Over all a good night. Some would say it was completely boring. 

I decided to use the loo while Ben was getting ready for bed. Just my luck he beat me to it. So I was dawdling at the top of the stairs when I noticed that the door to our hall closet was mostly closed with the bottom kind of sticking out. So I decided to open it so it wouldn't be sticking out. I looked down to see what was in the way while. Little did I know what was behind it. Then ....

during which I'm hyperventilating (lucky for me it was only a little bit). I was also trying not to scream. Because I didn't want to wake anyone up, and I wanted Ben to be able to see what scared me so bad. It scared silent by what was inside. 

It was... James! Yes, it was James. He was curled up on two pillows. He was fast asleep. He partially woke up while I was hyperventilating. Ben moved him to his bed and mentioned that he scared me. 

Today when Ben asked James why he was asleep in the closet, James said... "It wasn't dark enough any where upstairs. He's very proud of scaring me. It'll be a story that will be told for a long time.
