Gavin’s Juggling Audition

September 7th 2020

 

Gavin got excited at the prospect of this upcoming gig through our local casting agency:

 

So we threw together an audition video.

Took a couple stabs at a “headshot”:

 

And the resume is *in process.*

As his mother I want to help, but not in such a way it promotes the idea that these things happen by themselves. We shall see.

* * *

UPDATE: He did submit his materials -yay!- and we never heard back, boo! As I write it is the day of the shoot (and first day of school anyway). I’m proud he gave it a shot, AND; my baby got his first RESUME writing and job application experience under his belt. Woo hoo!

At Rise: At Least Have Something Good, Mom

Thursday, August 27th 2020

AT RISE: Due to ever-changing Covid conditions, it suddenly turns out that *right now* is the best time for Daddy and Gavin to leave for their hiking trip instead of next week. All packed and ready to go, Gavin comes into the master bedroom to find Mom cowering in bed, munching through a snack bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.

GAVIN: Mom! If you’re gonna stress-eat about this, at least have something good. Don’t eat Doritos. Have something good, like… Lays. Or… Funions or something!

MOM: Gee thanks honey that’s great advice. Now be careful on your trip and don’t die or anything!

GAVIN: OK Mom. [Hugs Mom.]

ClaraJane “Down on the Farm”

July 21st 2020

ClaraJane learns to ride a bike, and after delighting in the accomplishment, my mom jokes;  “Well now how ya gonna keep her down on the farm?”

We won’t of course. Not possible!

Here she is fulfilling the “Exercise” portion of her daily duties today, to the tune of  Philadelphia Chickens (by Sandra Boynton, performed by Kevin Bacon and the Bacon Brothers).  Today’s episode with just a slight whiff of animal abuse.
