Modeling/Acting

I've broken down. My husband has been after me to try and get the boys into acting/modeling for over a year. He even made an appt for us at an agency last year and I just didn't show up that day for it because I thought the boys were too young. Now we've visited a couple agencies and we have commited to getting pictures done. This is a whole new scary world I'm taking a trip into....scary like Toddlers & Tiara's scary. I'm very nervous about this but hope it goes well. We are in a very small city so I doubt we would get much work at all but my husband thinks it would be great to get some money for a college fund. BTW, this is very unlike my husband...he is totally not into looks or anything...he just see's $ signs for their college because I think he is very scared of the day they send us the college bill. :-)

Anyone have advice? The fact that they are identical twins is the only reason we are looking into this as it gives them an advantage in jobs.

Another Girls Trip

I am so lucky! I've had two girls trips in the past 6 weeks. This one was with my tennis team. We went to Kiawah and had a tennis clinic and played for hours and stayed overnight. It was a blast but I am so tired now. I love the women on my team, a good mix of ages, some with kids and some without. Great tennis, great conversations, great fun!

Family Dinner

We had my parents and one of my sisters over for dinner last night. I really wish we all lived in the same town so we could have a lot of family dinners. It was hectic but fun! I think it was funny that the boys insisted on sitting at the ends of the table.

Look at me...I'm crafty!

I'll start off saying that I am not a crafter. But I impressed myself by putting this together with $ store items. I found the eggs on sticks at the $ Tree and put some pastel jelly beans in the bottom. The vase is a Tiffany's vase I already had. Now I need to make sure the boys don't touch it. It is very risky for me to leave this in the middle of our table. I told them the candy is pretend just like the eggs on a stick are not lollipops. :-) I'm not sure if they believe me.

My husband even said he was impressed that I did this myself. Wow...so sad that this is impressive for me.

Painted Tables

Yea...I can check one item off my list. I had priced having these tables repainted by someone else along with a dining room hutch but in the end I decided to do the tables myself to save money. It actually was so easy since I decided to try spray paint.

I didn't take a before picture but it was a red/orange fake wood finish. They were in my fathers old office. There are 2 of them but I only took a picture of one.

We are going to take the hutch to someone else who paints furniture as a business. I just can't handle that big of a piece of furniture. I can't wait to see it. Hopefully I'll keep up my motivation to get some of my projects finished.

Girls Trip

I went on a girls trip this past weekend to the Grove Park Inn. All I can say is Wow! That is the most amazing spa! We went down to the spa at 8:30 am and didn't leave until 7pm. It was so relaxing and I had the best massage of my life. I recommend Mo the masseuse. They have so many pools, hot tubs, steam rooms, silent rooms with big fireplaces, etc. I feel so refreshed.

Here is the basket of goodies I took for our hotel room. We went through a few bottles of wine as soon as we arrived. It was nice to have a few bottles of water for in the room and a couple munchies, gossipy magazines and some dark chocolate. :-)
