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.

A Netflix #StreamTeam Monthly Extra Announcement

Beat Bugs - Netflix for Kids

Yesterday my email inbox was pinging like crazy with announcements from Netflix. I received no less than six emails with press release information about release date, upcoming shows and more. As part of the Netflix #StreamTeam I’m happy to bring you all sorts of Netflix related information. But rather than a whole bunch of separate posts about what is coming, when things are being released and new things just announced, I’ll do a sport of roundup announcement for you this time around.
