Nerf Gun Solution

As a mother of 2 boys, I have found our house overcome by Nerf guns and the bullets...EVERYWHERE. It seems that these toys also have a propensity to multiply, rabbits have nothing on Nerf bullets. Every birthday and gift-giving holiday includes some Nerf weapon of choice and more bullets. Now, don't get me wrong, I love these toys. They give the kids HOURS of play-time entertainment. Great toy for the 12 year olds that are too-cool-for-school, to the 7 year old who wants to hang out with the older guys, to the Dad reliving his youth. All of their friends have them and whenever the kids get together it is Nerf war time. I just hate storing them. Last idea was to put all the guns in a gigantic bucket, yeah not so much. Then a light bulb went on and my handy hubby implemented my idea:

Both sons love this! And it encourages them to pick up after themselves. The bucket now holds all of the soft orange bullets. Now if they only made a pink sparkly glitter Nerf gun for me......
