It struck me that, in some circles, the fact that my three kids and my two daycare kids each have their own boffer might be a red flag of my inappropriateness of occupation, if not a strike against my sanity.
But, you know what? It works.
Boffers are infinitely safer than sword play with found objects or the dreaded plastic lightsabers (which are currently in my bedroom in "toy timeout.") As I have no clue as to how to eliminate sword play (not sure I even want to,) it makes sense to do it as safely as possible.
It rained most of the day today. When it finally stopped, my crew of 5 headed out to the driveway to whack the heck out of each other with pvc pipe covered by swim noodle and duct tape.
They played by agreed upon "rules of engagement." The big kids moderated their strength with the little kids. It was so totally fun!
