"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"
"Rawr!!!!"
"Ieeeeee!!!"
Just another evening at the Casa de BSer.
It is kind of strange to have your kids telling you to run. But when your a geek like me and had previously told your kids how to quote the 70s science fiction movie Logan's Run (see the title of this blog post) then it's bound to come back at you.
In the basement, Alya and Marcus were both chasing me with their little foam guns that shot Nerf-like arrows and telling me to run while chanting "Shoot!" Funny, but a little disturbing.
So the best thing to do was to quickly duck behind the couch and roar right back as soon as they rounded the corner. Seems fair to me. The squeals and laughter was worth it.
And the reward? Two very tired and relaxed children, ready for bed after a dose of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - currently in progress.

However, as geeky as I am, I did not dress the kids up as anything bizarre. Instead, we went a very basic route - Zebra and Turtle.
They had a fantastic Halloween. As you might be able to tell in the picture, it was really cold here during the day. Heavy coats and bundling up in the wagon was mandatory.
We took a first trip around a neighborhood here in Brown Deer with the Roos family. Their daughter, Kaede, was dressed up as a witch and got to join in on the wagon fun as well.
Lots of giggles to be had there.
Then we had a second round that evening, with a Halloween party in Germantown, where the people really go all out. Lots of decorations, including a house that was actually a little scary for adults as well as a mini-bar with jello shots. Good times for all.
Anyway, a quick update before bedtime for the little ones.
