Direct TV Entertainment

Direct TV keeps sending us boxes for someone else. I finally called FedEx and told them and the woman told me they are just sending empty boxes. I could go ahead and get rid of them. Strange. Am I the only person who has never heard of this?
Well, I had to break them down to recycle and we discovered foam discs inside. (btw speaking of recycling and all things green. Corvallis has a plastic bag ban and now you have to bring your own bags to the store. I feel so Oregonian hippy-ish now and I kinda like it. hmm.)
Back to the foam discs.
Perfect for a little friendly competition.
It's only been a week, but it's become a little post dinner tradition.
They fly just like frisbees.
 Ben and I sit on opposite sides and try to hit each other in the head. 
The kids vary their loyalties, and bring us our ammo, but Ben usually talks Cody into his side and Macey goes with whoever doesn't hit her. Mackayla really doesn't care if she gets hit.
 It gets a little wild as evidenced by the barely hanging picture (that was me) but the soft foam doesn't hurt at all.
Thanks Direct TV. You can stop sending boxes now though.

the only reason I know they do that is because we got one. it's for the person to send back their equipment. but yes, the foam frisbees are great!
