Playground, More Mail, Our Not So Perfect Life

Often I cut out those things that are less than perfect in my videos and blog posts. With my Stare Down the Wolf post and video I sort of tossed that out the window and so today’s video shows one of those life moments where things aren’t going so great.

I had to go home from the Cape today. I wanted to do something with the kids and there wasn’t much time to go and do a water balloon fight (which we are going to do next week, I have a ton of Bunch’O Balloons to use) and it was early to hit the beach. I decided that we head over to the playground near the library for a fun morning playing. The playground is great, it has a bunch of fun parts to it. For the most part the kids had fun and were awesome. Then I wanted to get some video on the swings. This became a problem. Andrew was so unhappy that his sister could swing so much higher than he could. She has learned how to swing well and she’s also 4 years older. He got very frustrated and started crying on the swings. Normally I’d stop filming but this time I just let it roll.

After some time at the Cape house I headed home through very light traffic. I’m glad I wasn’t going the other way because it was already backing up. When I got home there were three boxes waiting for me. One form Netflix, another from Speck and another from Playmates Toys. I open them all on the vlog.

Enjoying a Day on the Cape

A full day on the Cape today. Eva and I took a walk this morning. She was missing me big time when I was away for the past week. So she wanted some daddy/daughter time. So we walked up the beach and down to the harbor. I told her all about some of the places I had worked when I was a kid and places that Grandfather built or worked on.

I then went to the supermarket and picked up some things for dinner. I also got some take and break chocolate chip cookies to make for later because today was National Chocolate Chip Cookie day. I do like to celebrate those national days.

We spent some time at the beach. Andrew and Eva are getting better and better at their swimming. We also played with the mini reactorz football. You probably shouldn’t bring those into the water but that one didn’t light up as well as the others so I wasn’t too worried about ruining it with the water. We played that for a good long while and then it was time to get home and get ready for dinner.

We had a nice dinner with the family and then chocolate chip cookies and ice cream for dessert. It was a good day.
