Trick Shot

Daddy caught John demonstrating his trick shots with his Nerf Gun on Sunday.  I love this little video.  He is so confident and creative at the same time. 

Busy

I am lucky. My kids play very well with each other. Tonight they made a little game out of chasing each other around the kitchen island. Gillian was holding her wand and John was holding his two swords. John was trying to tap Gillian on the back with his sword. But she wasn't running fast enough. So he kept yelling at her saying "Run faster! Run faster!" Them John tells her "Ok let's do it again without our weapons." The two of them put down the wand and the swords and run around the island again. They ran and ran until they laid down in Duncan's bed to rest. I was finished in the kitchen so we all moved downstairs to play.

It didn't take John long to create a new game. He took his two little Nerf guns that Uncle Bob gave him for Christmas and he started shooting them across the room. He then said to Gillian, "Gill! Get the bullets!" Gillian was more than happy to run around the basement picking up the darts. She picked them up one at a time and ran them back to John. During one of her trips across the basement, we heard John mutter "This will keep her busy!"

War

Today we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for lunch. We met Aunt Betty, Uncle Joe, Uncle Bob, Aunt Trish, and the cousins. We had lunch and the kids went outside to play. Sammie only stayed outside for a little bit and ended coming inside to play with Gillian. The girls decided to watch Cinderella. The girls snuggled on the couch and watched Gilly's favorite princess movie.

I was talking to Grandma and Aunt Betty when we saw Uncle Joe, Uncle Bob and Daddy walk past us. All three of them had Nerf guns, with additional magazines and bags full of extra darts. They headed out back to blindside the boys.

When I got out back I saw Daddy on the deck firing down to the boys below while Uncle Joe and Uncle Bob were running around shooting at the boys. Justin and John were running around and giggling. It was chilly outside so I only watched for a few minutes.

When they came back inside they shared their stories. At on point John got a Nerf gun set it up with the bipod and laid down on his belly. He aimed and fired right at Uncle Joe. He hit his mark and shouted "I got his gut!"
