They're chasing each other up and down my hallway- DS is wearing a halloween mask while DD shoots him with the toy gun! Grin

They don't really know about it! DS has an obsession with monsters (he's a big Spiderman/Hulk/Marvel fan) and he's roped DD into shooting him with his pretend space gun- I saw what they were doing and it looked a hell of a lot like the Zombie mode on Black Ops!

I have a phone video footage of my two eldest Dcs (at the time 7 and 5) . DD1 was being Ann Bleyn and Ds2as the executionner! I blame school reallyGrin

Just to check, they are not really playing COD at their age are they? I think you left it a bit late, it says 18 on the box so surely the right age to start them on is 18 months non?

sorry, forgot the Wink!

Would you like to borrow my saucepan-helmet to protect against the righteous? Also works against those who only read thread titles!

BulletWithAName · 23/03/2011 17:33

That does sound very educational gorionine, at least they're paying attention in school!

18 months you say? I've left it a bit late methinks....

is that what you look like BulletWithAName?

BulletWithAName · 23/03/2011 17:38

I don't have the fabulous goggles on sadly! Grin

I love watching children's make-believe games, especially when they don't realise you're watching them!
