By the power of Greyskull!...(and foam-rubber!)

I have to say, this was to be expected.  When you have two boys coming of age, and Daddy's best buddy in the U.S. Army sends them a birthday package in the mail, it's either going to be something to do with bacon grease (which was last Christmas), or a weapon.  However, frankly, I thought we had a few more years before we'd expect to see anything really interesting in the second department.  Clearly, I was wrong.  Major Rob was so prepared, so resourceful, and so creative as to provide each boy with an age-appropriate tool of destruction within their first three years of life.  And on top of it all, these wonderful gifts are made of foam, so they can be safely used inside the house.  The letter arriving with the package listed the many useful ways in which these tools can be used in creative construction, camping, and farming applications.  However, Mommy is not fooled. 

What amazing new feats of bashing await us?


Virg is starting to fit the pieces together...
