Safety First!

Hello everyone. I have been getting a lot of heat from Natalie about posting to the blog, so here goes.

Owen received two nerf Tommy Guns for his birthday, and Rion has really wanted to play with them. Owen decided that he was ready to open them, with a lot of prodding from Rion. I helped them load the darts and install the batteries. Owen started to shoot the gun in in the kitchen. I knew that we were in trouble. I had to lay down the ground rules. No shooting at each other, no shooting at Mommy or Daddy, and no shooting at the dog.

I thought it might be a good idea to shoot at the window in the back, but realized that some additional safety precautions were needed. Darts were flying all over the place, and the last place I wanted to be was at the hospital answering questions on why there was a dart stuck on one of my children's eye!

Well, that's it for my first post. Sorry if you were expecting something a little more enlightening.

Mike
