Calling all Dragon Trainers!

We're Netflix addicts in my house, and now that it's summer vacation, I may possibly be guilty of letting my kids sit around and watch Netflix for HOURS some days. It's summer. It happens. (Here in Florida, it's too hot to play outside during the day unless we're at the pool, and it rains every afternoon.)

Recently my kids found Dreamworks Dragons: Race to the Edge on Netflix. They just can't get enough of Hiccup and Toothless. When Netflix sent us a package of Dragon goodies, my 11-year-old was crazy-excited, hoping it was the "Dragon Eye" in the box. (In the series, the "Dragon Eye" is powered by a dragon's fiery breath and it shows a map.) Alas, it was not the "Dragon Eye." It was a package of dragon themed goodies!



(If you have little dragon trainers in your home, you can give them a dragon-themed snacks of "dragon scales" Doritos, and "dragon claws" Bugles. Cute!)


My favorite item in this box of goodies was the sidewalk chalk because my kids voluntarily turned off the TV and ran outside to draw their own dragons and maps on the cement, and they played make-believe dragon trainer games all afternoon! Well, they played until the rain came, anyway.




Check out this new series on Netflix with your little dragon trainers!

We've loved the How to Train Your Dragon movies! Those snacks are a great idea!

I am guilty of the same thing, there has been a lot of Netflix days in our house too. Sometimes I need those days to get things done for me. But I am trying to learn to balance it all better. Been reading Kim Buck's The Thriving Woman's Guide to Setting Boundaries. It's a great read on learning that I don't have to be the "go to" for everything. Her site for the book is areyouwillingtobeseen.com, it has helped me find ways to have less Netflix days!
