Ready Aim.... Campfire?!?!?

For Christmas a couple of years ago Josh received 2 Marshmallow Guns. So far they are the only kind I have allowed in my home. The kids have a blast with them when we actually get them out. K and A mostly follow the other players around eating the discarded "bullets". We haven't used them much because the marshmallows here get so sticky and stop up the shooting action. But I figured out a way to solve this problem.... First you open a brand new bag of marshmallows, dump them into a large zip lock bag, and then pour in a 1/4 cup of flour and shake. Also it helps if you coat the tubes with flour too. Then you are ready for action! Here are a few shots I took of the kiddos playing. And yes once again, still no baby.....

My innocent baby with a weapon...
"Can't I just eat them?!?"
The Hunt
The Attack"I'm gonna pump you full of Marshmallows"....
It is a little too late for that! I look like a marshmallow!

That's really funny :) I mean, I'm sure you don't REALLY look like a marshmallow, but the wording was just really humorous.
Those look like fun!!

Marshmallow guns are so fun! The flour is a good idea because we had sticking problems too.

Those are cool. I have never seen anything like them. So congrats on having the baby! I saw Josh emailed Graham about it. I will have to hack into his email and check it out. :)
