NERF and NY Eve

So, Taz rediscovered his NERF gun over Christmas break. We were enjoying a few weeks off before schol started again and he bought a new gun.

He also went to his first stake dance which just happnened to be the NYE dance. 

Tanner has been on the stake youth committee this past school year and so he had to help with the dance.  He, Krista and Amanda were in charge of making the zodiac animals as part of the decorations.

They turned out cute and he had fun at the dance.  He did have to stay and help clean up.  Taz found a ride home, Cynjyn was at Alexa's for the night and Garry and I were at Shafers with Don playing games.  We did toast one another at midnight, but kept right on playing Puerto Rico.  We got home at 1:30 and Tanner still wasn't home!

About a month ago, I had dusted all the ceiling fans. I couldn't reach the main one in the family room.  So Garry jerryrigged a contraption that allowed him to reach it.  Now it looks so much better when you look down on it from upstairs.   

Back to the NERF story...Taz convinced Cynjyn and Becca to buy new guns.  He then told him it wouldn't hurt to get shot.  So he had C shoot him and

immediatly took off running when he realized that he could feel it!

Cynj and Becca were ready to play.  They are very serious about their NERF wars. 

Taz had a group of friends over and they were ready to begin.  They played at night after it got dark, they had about 150 bullets.  They turned off all the lights and one team was guarding a base and the other team had to get the base. 

Cynjyn liked it so much a few days later, she invited some of her friends over and they had a NERF war. 

And this is what it looks like the morning after!  Garry and I are banned to the bedroom during these NERF wars.  They sure loved doing them and actually cleaned up after themselves though it has been about a month now and I'm still finding random bullets here and there!
