I went to a John Cougar Mellencamp concert last night at the Hollywood
Bowl. Dave and I had a 'date night'! We love going to the
Bowl, we have a series of classical music evenings we attend there as
well. It's such an incredible venue for music. And John
Mellencamp is so awesome!!! He played all my favorite songs, and
has a great vibe live. The whole audience was singing along to
his classics.
Ben, Dave and I had the best weekend. On Saturday we went to the 1st birthday party of my friends' daughter. It was kinda weird to be hanging out with a bunch of our friends, but now we all have kids running around. Lol. It's one of those moments when you realize just how different your life is now that you're a parent.
Ben loved the other little kids. He loved watching the birthday girl play with her toys, and she even shared some of her toys with Ben. It was really cute. Of course we took tons of great photos!
Sunday, we took Ben to an airshow. They had static displays of cool airplanes as well as aerobatic planes doing a performance. We sat on this shady grass area, ate lunch and watched the airplanes fly by. The loud ones definitely caught Ben's attention. But now that he's begun crawling around, it required my full attention just keeping him on the blanket. He hasn't even mastered the whole 'sitting up' thing, but already he's 'on the go'! It's so hilarious to see Ben's odd combination of pulling his body forward with his arms, and then getting his legs bent to help crawl too. One of my friends commented that it looks like he's doing 'The Worm' - 6 months old, and already Breakdancing! Lol.
I was watching Days yesterday. The one where Will comes home from camp? You know that second scene, where we hug him and ask him about how camp was? Right before we were going to shoot that scene, I found out that they had added 5 more pages of dialogue (we call them 'pinks pages') to that episode. It was a crazy mix up, and I hadn't gotten those extra pages, but Bryan and Chris had. So I had about 4 minutes to learn all that extra dialogue. Panic!!! Luckily it all worked out - we did the scene in 1 take. But, it definitely raised my blood pressure that day!
The scenes we were taping last week took forever! Ashley (Abby) and I were instant messaging each other from across the set. She is such a cutie! And then Kyle (Philip), Bryan (Lucas), Martha (Belle), Rhasaan (Tek) and I were talking about our favorite cartoons from childhood. We have this one prop guy who we tease because he reminds us of 'Papa Smurf'. Kyle starts humming the Smurf theme whenever he's lighting the candles on the set. Anyway, it led to a whole conversation about how they used the word 'smurf' as an all-around verb on that show. So we started doing it too. 'I am so smurfed!'. 'Bye, smurf you later'. Etc. The boys had a much better memory for all those cartoons - Martha and I were talking 'Care Bears' and 'Strawberry Shortcake'. Kyle, Bry and Rhasaan were all about 'Transformers', 'G.I.Joe' etc. Yup - that's what happens when you're standing around all day with 1 line to memorize!
