Nerf Wars



What do we love lately? Nerf Wars! This is so much fun! Matt brought home two Nerf guns from his work Christmas gift exchange. We had fun with them over Christmas break, but very quickly most of the darts were lost or destroyed. The Nerf guns sat quietly in the bottom of the toy chest for several months. Then I bought a 36 pack of darts. Now every night the whole house explodes with Nerf warfare. It has been so much fun that we decided to buy two more Nerf guns so Howie and Henry could play too. Howie stockpiles all the ammo and runs around the house screaming without ever shooting a dart. Henry, not even a year and a half old, knows how to load his gun and pull the trigger. Sometimes he has even been known to hit something. When the battle is over, the house is covered in little orange darts.  The next day I find them behind the blinds, inside light fixtures, under the couch, and in Howie's pockets. I slowly collect them and make a pile on the kitchen counter. Later someone will grab a handful and the battle will begin again.
