Saturday with a Gun
I don’t know what you did on Saturday, but at my house, we had quite a day. I’d say it was not typical, but things like this happen often enough.
We had a few guys sleep over, so they were there. Soon, EthG arrived to continue the process of putting Hunter’s car back together after they ripped it apart to replace the heater core. As of now, there is no antifreeze in it, but oh well. This is the dashboard. Yeah.
Then, EthG pulled out his gun. He just got an airsoft bolt-action sniper rifle. And the weather was in the middle of a January thaw, so it was wonderful!
Here is the sniper with his trusty spotter, MarkJ.
And now the spotter takes a turn.
They made a big cardboard target.
And they shared. I put this picture on Facebook and got a lot of Sarah Palin comments. I really had fun with it. I shot the target man, and then they played a new game. One of the boys would dress up with a hooded sweatshirt with a face protector and goggles on and run through the yard.
SurferDude took a turn being the target. But, he’s not running in this picture. EthG was my target. He didn’t run very fast, sort of a slow walk so I could hit him. It is such a guy thing. “Oh, shoot ME with an airsoft gun! Shoot me!”
And what was the rest of the family doing? Well, Gockle and Wit played guitar hero. I think Gockle played Scream, Aim, and Fire close to 20 times. It is in my head. Over and over and over.
LittleMiss was at a friend’s house. TGD was in California at a math conference. Hunter left around lunchtime to meet another friend. Libby taught MarkD a piano song.
And Ransom was ripping apart my computer to fix it for me. Wait, he’s not one of my kids. He’s just a superhero.
What a great day! And today was another winner, but I’ll tell you about that tomorrow, Lord willing. What’s the most redneck thing you’ve done lately?

Most redneck thing: Well, I didn’t actually do it myself, but my kids did yesterday. They went sledding on an old car hood. They said it was awesome!
You can easily get three or four people on it, and it FLIES~!
Redneck–Does taking out the trash in my jammies count?
I think lately my life has mostly been redneck free, ha ha.
I rather envy you being at the beginning of this stage of life. There is nothing more winsomely charming than a bunch of nice young adults. I used to look at mine and think “Where did you come up with that!?” at some of their games and jokes. They were so clever, -still are. You seem to have a good group coming over, I hope you thoroughly enjoy them.

I do. Very much.
I don’t do anything even remotely resembling a gun. I’d make a lousy red-neck. But, I’m glad you had fun.
I know Ransom! He’s a great guy! I guess I haven’t been very redneck for a while–can’t think of a thing.
Well my dog is currently attempting to mate with a stuffed animal, and I am barefoot and drinking a beer, surrounded by unpaid bills. Does all of that count?

Oh, yes. I don’t feel quite so redneck now!
