It's War!

About a month ago Craig's company had a party where a couple of the guys had marshmallow shooters and we had a "war" of sorts. Ever since then, Clayton has been asking Craig if he would make some marshmallow guns. Well, Monday night as part of family night, Craig broke down and made a couple.
They have instantly become a hit among the six- and seven-year-old neighborhood boys. Yesterday Clayton planned a war with his best friend Jaxon, but when he called him, Jaxon hadn't finished his chores. So Clayton volunteered to go help Jaxon finish his chores so they could get started! The last thing he said on the phone before going to help with the chores was, "I'm ready for war, so when you see me, don't be afraid." It was hilarious, especially considering that being "ready for war" just meant he was wearing a belt with a Ziploc baggie of marshmallows attached to it!

My lawn is covered in sticky, gooey marshmallow clumps, and I'm sure once things dry out we will be overrun by ants, but boy are they having fun!

Clayton get ready--I'm making one with my dad and grandpa. But don't worry, we'll shoot marshmellows not bebes. Spencer shot me with his airsoft gun this weekend-I still have a mark! I like the marshmellows better!
Your Friend,
Jaxon

We love those marshmallow guns at our house too. Have you guys tried potato guns yet? Or pop bottle guns? Should I send some boys over?
