I found a marshmallow pvc gun on pinterest and decided I absolutely needed to make some. So I went to Home Depot and picked up some pvc pipe and some pvc pipe cutters. I don't know who invented the pvc pipe cutters - but they deserve the nobel peace prize. Those are so much fun to use. They ratchet while they cut through the plastic. What more could you ask for? With that baby in my hand, I feel unstoppable.
Anyway, I made the guns. And then I bought mini-marshmallows. Obviously, I did not think this project through from the beginning all the way to the end. The end being me, picking up 7,000 marshmallows. Everywhere. I thought that going outside would be the answer. No - it just made the marshmallow-picking-up-chore about 4 times longer and 5 times hotter.
I keep reminding myself that its really fun for the kids, and that they are playing together (albeit they are shooting each other, but that counts, right?) and they're not watching tv. However, if I see one more marshmallow on the ground, I might go postal.
Here is Fisher's modification. Its actually like 4 guns put together. And when you get hit in the face with a marshmallow coming from this gun, IT WILL leave a welt on your cheek. For like a couple of days. And people WILL look at you like you have a hickey on your cheek. At church.

Oh man. You just gave me a great idea for something to do after work today. Hehehe. Thanks!
You are the best. Seriously I would make them do it outside, but I would leave the marshmallows hoping all the ants would eat them....
