Looking back on Christmas 2010, it’s quite apparent that the Nerf Gun was the hit of the day. I bought three of them. One for each kid. I should have bought two more for the wife and me so we could defend ourselves, but I didn’t. Oh well, lessons learned.
We try to give our kids at least one substantial gift and a whole lot of “extra” stuff. Substantial in our book would mean iPods, cameras or musical instruments. Extras would be Lego sets, DVDs and books. New socks and underwear are classified as “lumps of coal.”
Next year I think we’re going to forgo anything expensive and stick to Nerf weaponry. I don’t know what message that sends, but it sure is fun to shoot up the place.

You should have a thousand followers! They don't know what they're missing. I just read your old year resolutions on Blood Red Pencil and happily came over to meet you. Wow, don't we all need humor. Laughter loosens all muscles. I'm not a humorist. I tend to see life from the other side. And good humor is difficult to do. So that lets me out, too.
I'm posting a link to you on my next post. More women than men seem to blog, at least this is my experience so far. So we need you! And your HUMOR!!!
Check out marshmellow guns - kinda messy but worth. I like the nerf guns also. But I would never get caught without one. My kids think dad's easy prey. Hah! Fooled them.
I actually have a full arsenal of marshmellow guns my dad made us one Christmas. Messy but so much fun!
