Video Time

This whole playroom idea is good in theory, but the reality is that the kids end up playing in the living room more than anywhere else.  Perhaps one reason is that I won’t let them climb on the arms of the futon but we let them go crazy on the living room furniture.

On this one I learned that focusing too much on what I’m filming means I’m not using my peripheral vision.

Background for this next one – the kids’ favorite music video is “Awakening” by Switchfoot.  (You can watch it here if you want to really delve into their psyches.)  Kev’s really into it, and anything he does that was also in the video, he reminds us that he’s doing it “jus’ like Swishfoot.”  “I eating my dinner, jus’ like Swishfoot!”  “I take off my jacket, jus’ like Swishfoot!”  Bernie thought it would be fun to make them their own cardboard guitars, a la the video.  We must have spent an hour playing our cardboard guitars and jumping off the couch (“I jump off da couch jus’ like Swishfoot!”).  Here’s a clip of the kids playing to their 2nd favorite song, Soul Sister.  At the end Kenzi reminds me of one of Robert Palmer’s creepy guitarists
