Sometimes You Really DO Need to Fight With Your Kids...

The boys got their Nerf disk guns for Christmas, and Eric got his just two days later.  We've had countless Nerf-wars fights, and the boys all love it.

Our front room/entry works really well for a battle: with the dinning room around the corner, the stairs, and the landing upstairs as a perch/lookout.


The girls like to serve as the disk-collectors for the various teams: Aidan/Davin vs Eric (I only just got myself a gun).  The rules are simple: head or torso shot-you're dead; arm or leg shot, you've lost the use of that limb for that round; if a disk collector is shot (rarely) she gives her ammo to the apposing team; direct hits only.
  


We started out with 40 green disks, then Eric bought his gun (which came with 10 white disks) and an additional 10 green disks.  And then I just got my gun (with its 8 orange disks) and another 40 disks; plus the kids found a disk in the church parking lot.  So far we're only down 1 white, and 8 green, they're somewhere in this house.  I keep finding them in weird places too, which I'm pretty sure will be the status for the rest of my life :)
