The Hunger Games . . .

. . is the title of another great book. If you want a fast read that you just can't put down, this book is it. I would put it in the Young Adult fantasy genera - but, anyway . . .

This past Christmas we held a White Elephant contest. Each of us tried to come up with something that cost the least amount of money while being the most sought after gift. This is one of the gifts Dave won - a marshmallow shooting gun. Dave is gun guy. He loves guns of any size, shape, or ammunition type, so when Kenny pulled out this marshmallow shooting gun, he was all over trying to end up with it, and he won! Last weekend when things quieted down somewhat, the boys pulled out the marshmallow gun and put it to the test.


Porter and Chase loved it because, although Drew was shooting at them . . . and that was a little scary . . .


When it was over, there was a marshmallow to eat! And Porter just sucked his right up off the floor - a floor that had just been mopped, or we would never have allowed him to suck marshmallows off it ;)


It was fun for everyone. The shooter, the shoo tees, and those of us watching and laughing. Thanks for the great gift, Kenny. We are still working on getting Dave to wear his "fifth pocket" around, though.

I'm glad Porter ended up liking it as much as Chase.
