We took a camping trip to Pacific Beach with 12 other families. We'd set up this little chair compound in the sand each day and just chat while the kids played in the water.
Eden and some friends
Eden's first day of school. This is my third year sending her off and I still cried when she went into the classroom. Does it ever get easier?
Luke learned to ride his bike this week without training wheels. It took me years to get him on the bike and now I can't seem to get him off!
As for Eliza and Tucker...Tuck has finally jumped on the potty train. I would post a picture, but hey, I want to keep my site G rated.
Little Eliza had a fluke audition for a commerial this week. While we were waiting for her turn in the prep room the gal asked me if I would read the mother's lines to see how Eliza reacted to an actress on camera. A couple of days later, they called and asked us to come back for another audition...when they said "us" I about fell off my chair. So we went back for the finals and spent a half an hour with the director. After I read the lines, the first thing he said was, "Now, I realize you are not a professional, can you just try and tone it down a bit and sound more natural" Hello...I was toning it down...it's my personality...I have a hard time keeping things on the low. Anyway, I knew from the beginning landing the ad was a long shot--we both have 0 experience. However, the agency called us the next day and told us we got "first right", I said, "what the heck is first right?" She laughed and explained that it was runner up. Runner up? are you kidding? If I would have known that we had a shot, I might have really tried...or, not tried... All in all, it was a fun experience but one that I don't think we'll try again for awhile. Side note---Keep your eye out for the Washington Dental commercial featuring a mother discussing her infant's teeth---I'm dying to see who we came in 2nd to!
