Nana Hunt at Fashion Island

Just a day in Newport Beach with 4 important ladies! Mommy, Mimi, Nana, and Great Nana!
It's been so great to have Nana and Grandpa Hunt in town for Thanksgiving! What a treat!

We've had plenty of time to catch up, eat some delicious meals, and catch a few Rays (and when I say rays, I mean rays of sunshine. . .the weather has been great, as well as "Everybody Loves Raymond" a family favorite.)

We are looking forward to a delicious barbecued turkey on Thanksgiving. The feast is upon us!

Thinking outside the box. . .

You may be all boxed out, but I just had to add this video clip.
I love the drama of her slow reveal at the beginning. Who taught her to do that? I mean, the suspense is killing me!

Box Lunch

Why is it that these kids love these boxes so much? Is it the dark space they can crawl into and hide in that makes them so irresistable? Is it the fact that they know somehow that they can destroy them without consequence? Is it the 4 flaps that make it so easy to play peek-a-boo? Who knows?! But this girl is HOOKED! :)

Still Over My Head!

Master carpenter Andy with Lu!
Bright lights!
Todd and Andy, all dolled up for a sketch.
Hot.

Well, the gang from Over Your Head has left the building. I was really happy with how it all went. We have a great little laundry closet now, and had a unique experience being on tv.
It's a little tedious doing construction on tv because you can just do the project! You have to drill a screw, then cut, unscrew it, change the camera angle, and screw, then cut, unscrew it, change the camera angle, then rescrew the same dang screw. Honestly, there were moments when I wished I was just working on it with my dad and Simon because we could have done it a lot faster. . . but who would have done the catering then?
The host and master carpenter were really great guys, and the whole crew was wonderful. I think the only bad thing about it is the show doesn't air for a year or so! When I asked the producer how we would know that it was on, he said, "well, you'll just have to tune in and find out!" Uhhhh. . . . .seriously? He said that it wouldn't be on for about a year, so we'll let you know when we know!

Fun times!

OVER YOUR HEAD

Well, while Lucy is with Mimi, Papa, and Auntie Hezzie, Mommy is toiling and working with the folks on the show Over Your Head! Yes, I wrote into one of those home makeover shows on HGTV. Although I wrote in to the show to get help with our sad little kitchen, the show felt like the laundry area was more within the time (and financial) boundaries. So here we are!

Simon comes back home tomorrow for the big "reveal." I just pray that his excited face translates to television. We've been working on a suprised look (eyebrows up! voice an octave higher! gasp!) but we'll see. He's subtle.
