Noodle Wars

Yesterday evening the children on our street were all out playing. I had just purchased some end of season clearance swim noodles for next year (50 cents at HEB, you local deal seekers!!!) since some of our old ones may not make it to next year. Suddenly, the swim noodles turned into swords and noodle wars broke out. They must have played this for at least 30 minutes straight. It was so funny. They would fall on the ground until a teammate came to heal them. Then, back to fighting. Everyone was so good natured, no whining or hitting too hard. It was almost amazing....well, until I discovered one of the children (not my own!) had bitten about 10 holes in one of the brand new noodles! Last time I bought some that happened to us at the pool. What luck! At least they were cheap!
