Halloween

I thought it would be fun to cover the last five Halloweens. I can hardly believe that they have had 5 costumes. They love to go trick or treating and knock on everyones door, however they do not like candy, and despise chocolate. So Halloween works out great for me, I do not have to buy candy for tick or treaters and I have a snack for the next few weeks.

Soccer

Fall, the time of year for fall sports. The boys play soccer. They have a practice and a game once a week. They just started but throughly love it. They run for an entire hour. It is great exercise. They games consists of 4 10 minute quarters. They do not keep score, but they sure have fun scoring. Ethan is number 4 and Dylan is number 5.

Here is Ethan in the "heat" of the game.

On Location Day 3

Okay I never finished our filming pictures. So here is Day 3. We went off site to do some filming that will occur as flashback scenes.

This scene shows Dylan on the far side in the orange shirt, Ethan is on the left in the green shirt. Dylan is to reach over and grab Ethan's juice and take a sip. The flashback scene is the mother recalling that there are no illness going around in Josh's preschool class.

Next we move to a house in Hollywood for the gardening scene. Josh (Ethan) is out in the garden with his mom and he finds worms.

Next picture is of Grandma working hard to help us. She flew out several times to be with one while I was filming with the other. On location day the boys were able to be together and grandma came with us to help.

Then we moved inside where Claire the mommy) has fixed Josh( Dylan) plate of carrotts and spinach to eat, instead he decided to pull a piece of candy out of his pocket.

The last scene for the day was back at the hospital where Josh (Ethan) is playing in his mom's office, who is a reciptionis at a DR. office.

On Set -Day 2

We had another day of taping. They had to appear blue for this day of taping. They had to stay still for a while for her to apply the makeup. So we created the statue game, they had other actors that they would compete with them and see who could be a statue the longest.

Here is Dylan with his pretend mommy on the right and his pretend aunt on the left.

This is a picture of Ethan with his pretend mommy, taken while at lunch. Lunch is always catered. We stay in the classroom, while not on set. This is our time to interact with everyone on set. Ethan and Dylan light up the room when the enter.

Then before you leave everyone must stop by and see Tony in sound. Here he is wiring one of them up with their microphone.

On Set

The boys were chosen last week to be on a tv show, called Dianosis X. We went up this week to Hollywood to tape the show.

This is Dylan lying in bed getting an IV. His face is slightly blue in this scene.

Here is Ethan doin the last scene of the show. He is getting ready to leave the hospital with his Aunt.

This was my view from the Director's chair. they watched the whole taping on a tiny screen in an adjacent room.

Valentines Day 2007

Valentine's Day morning was a nice surprise. I love tulips and had gotten several adds from pro flowers about their tulip valentine specials. I conveniently left the email open so hubby would see. On February 13, my friend received her flowers, but the UPS man drove right by my house. Marc kept telling me that the UPS man would deliver in the morning (pro flowers always delivers by UPS the day before Valentine's day)

Marc left for "work" on Valentines morning. Imagine my surprise when I answered the knock at the door at 7:30. My very own UPS man with tulips, chocolates, and a gift.

Disneyland

Sorry for the lack of updates. I am going to try and update every week!!!!
Recently we went to Disneyland and California Adventure. The boys loved it and had a great time. I have never been to Disneyland with so few people. We went on just about every kid friendly ride twice. It was awesome. Here are a few of the highlights.


Here the boys are with lightning Mcqueen. They are huge CARS fans and have enjoyed collecting movie memorabilia.












We also took a cooking class. This is the last thing on main street. They actually take the kids on stage and have them help make cookies. Of course, they get to taste what they made at the end.
