On what happens when the Xbox dies ...



So the Xbox broke a couple of days ago. This has forced the boys to pick up other toys.

In the form of AirSoft guns. And bb's... LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of bb's.

In fact ... because clearly Hayley hates me, she bought them 20,000 bb's for Christmas.

And .... they are ALL OVER MY HOUSE. I can't go anywhere without seeing these little gems. In the carpet ... the bathtub ... the washing machine ... the kitchen table ... in laundry baskets ... in Sophie's dog food bowl (which I'm sure also equates to in her stomach).

It's quite annoying really. Just when I think I've cleaned them all up ... I turn around and 10 more are staring at me. How do they multiply?





This is an actual trail of them going from the hall all the way into their bedroom

The laundry room is clearly where they load the guns ... and miss ...


Scottie, the genius Xbox fixer has repaired the box and it will be back up tomorrow. I wonder if he cleans up bb's?

I love Jacob in the background of the first picture, what a nut.

Here's an idea, have THEM clean them up...no wait, we are talking about your boys. Nevermind. Just leave them. Maybe some rabbit will move into your house that eats plastic bbs...and poops jelly beans? I don't know, good luck!
