Boys and Guns

Nothing like waking up in the morning and feeling like you have entered special forces training camp right? We aren't the type to promote guns to the boys but for some reason it is in their DNA to want to play with guns, you don't actually have to give them one, they will fashion them out of legos, paper, scrapbooking supplies... really anything that can be pointed can be used as a weapon of mass destruction.

Well DHubby came home from a long TDY and wanted to get a new nerf gun. This one was more for him but he justified it by saying it was for the boys ((I know deep down it was really that HE wanted it)). We already had a couple of the long shot sniper type pistols but Darren had to have... oops I mean he really wanted the boys to have the machine gun.

So one more I wake up and walk into their room and Daddy has put up screens around their "secret base" and Ian is actually wearing a blanket ghillie suit to be the sniper up on the top bunk and Evan is manning the machine gun on the ground. Watch out everyone!! Can you see Evan's blanket ghillie suit too, since big brother had one he had to have one too.

Boys will be boys, no matter what age they are.

Oh, yes, we have several toys that my dh bought 'for the kids.' :)I love the ghillie suits LOL. My kids make potions that cause all sorts of weird mutations [kind of a cross between Harry Potter and Jared's explanations of chemical and biological warfare].

Oh the joys of having boys:-). At least it is not tiny Polly Pocket shoes in your vacuum!

Oh my! I wonder what would have happened if you had had girls? ;-) The kids look adorable, even if they're in special forces training camp! :)
