Pom Pom Poppers

We are all about weapons here, lately... :/  Everything in our house has been turned into some sort of gun, and things outside are now being used as catapults. So yesterday, I decided to cater to this new obsession and create some fun pom pom poppers for the boys to play with.

 Daniel models the apparatus. It is basically a plastic cup with the bottom cut off and a balloon taped to the rolled edge. 

 Just shooting the pom poms around the room was not fun enough, so we created targets!

 Figuring out how best to shoot the pom poms.

 Matthew takes the easy way out.

 Aaron contemplates using bigger ammunition.

Daniel finds that the smaller the pom pom, the farther it goes.

 Good thing we're only shooting pom poms. This would be dangerous.

Aaron takes a snuggle break.

 Getting serious.

 

 While his younger brothers took a nap, Daniel decided to kick it up a notch. Here's his modified shooter, complete with handle, scope, laser, and sight. This kid does not mess around.

Again, I'm glad we're only using pom poms... Daniel has now asked if we can take the targets outside so he can shoot rocks at them using his home-made sling shot. Oh dear.
