Double Rainbow
Photo-A-Day #4133

I got to work tonight and everyone was looking out the windows at a huge double rainbow. It hadn’t rained much around work but in the outlying areas there were people who got downpours. I tried to capture the whole thing but it was just too big and it didn’t look great through the windows.

I started watching The Last Kingdom today on Netflix. This is a show that was on BBC and is based on The Saxon Stories books by Bernard Cornwell. I have read some Bernard Cornwell books about King Arthur and so I was interested in this series. The show is pretty well done. First season is on Netflix now with 8 episodes and apparently the second season has Netflix co-producing. I like that. I watched the first two episodes so far and it is an enjoyable show. It makes me want to read the books, too.

I did not sleep very well. I kept waking up over and over. I’d have thought that I would have slept great with a quiet house but that was not the case. When I woke up I opened another box that I received this week and also a game that I have been meaning to review. You can catch that on today’s vlog.

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.
