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.
Andrew and I went on a few errands today and then finished off with a trip to the zoo and playground. We had to go place the order for the food for Eva’s First Communion. We’re doing platters and sandwiches from Willow Tree. After that we ran over to the comic store to pick up comics. Andrew was a little crazy there but we survived that excursion. Lunch over at Wetherlane’s and Andrew entertained everyone around us as we were leaving by telling them that he flew down a slide and kicked me in the face. He’s a showman. I was attempting to get him to nap later.
When we got to Capron Park we went into the zoo first. He had gotten a lollipop at the comic book shop and wanted to eat it. I figure, let’s walk around and see all the animals and he can finish his lollipop. He did pretty well with it. Then we hit the playground and Andrew played on everything. His favorite thing to do now is to climb across the top of the monkey bars. I’m right there next to him within catching distance, so don’t worry.
For my vlog today I got a bunch of new Mike and Ike candy as well as new Peeps. Those were sent to me for a future promotion and I also spotlighted a few things that I bought recently. One was a 75th Anniversary Captain America Hot Wheels and then the other was a three-pack of Hot Wheels cars including All-New Captain America, Superior Iron Man and Miles Morales Spider Man. Check them out.
