Pre-New Year’s Eve Errands

Photo-A-Day #3916

Friday's Artwork by Eva

It was a day filled with running around. All those last minute things that you try and do at the end of a home vacation or the end of the year. The kids had some checks from Christmas so we made a couple of stops at the local banks to make deposits. At one bank we had the kids deposit all their change that they’ve been gathering for a pretty long while. Those kids had some great hauls from their change. I even turned in mine. May give me a little spending money for the month. We’ll see.

A quick pop over to the Post office to get a package out to Auntie Mo and then off to Toys R Us to make a return and let Eva get a new Barbie and Andrew some more Marble Run pieces. He loves building Marble Runs. I think he loves losing the marbles and watching me lose mine more, though. An even quicker stop at Target to return some Disney Infinity figures, I am hoping that I get them sent to me soon. I contacted my contact who is going to send them over to me, soon I hope.

Kids Get Their Own New Year’s Eve Countdowns with Netflix

Netflix

#ShareYourCare NYE Countdown

I’m doing a bit of double duty on this post. As both a member of the Care Bears Share Your Care Ambassadors and the Netflix Stream Team I want to tell you about some great New Year’s Eve countdowns that you can watch ANYTIME. So, if you have some really little ones line my son Andrew then you can watch the Care Bears & Cousins countdown around 8pm. Or for Eva we can let her have her own New Year’s Eve Countdown at 9pm with Project Mc2. We’ll probably watch all six of the countdowns because we watch pretty much all of the Netflix shows in this house.

Each year we do an appetizer meal for our New Year’s Eve dinner with the kids. I get all sorts of great appetizers and we watch a movie and have a great time. This year Netflix not only provided some great countdowns to everyone who has Netflix but they even sent us a special New Year’s Eve kit and we’ll be posting images from our New Year’s Eve celebration.

The one thing that I’d like though is some special countdowns for us parents from the Netflix original shows like Longmire, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Orange is the New Black and so many more. Maybe even one from the upcoming new show Fuller House. That would be great, because us parents sometimes want to celebrate the New Year nice and early so that we can get to sleep, too.
