baby steps

This week brought us nicer weather so we could start the clean up process. I have posted the before and after shots. I called the village and they came out and power washer my walkway and lawn...a regular hose wasn't powerful enough. 

filming day 3

 Our 3rd day of filming brought us to Highland Park on the lake front. It was cold but super fun. I only stayed for half the day. Below is TJ with the Director.

I know I am his mom, but I think TJ is just adorable. I did receive the same feedback from just about everyone on set

the extra's above

 TJ does the 50's well

This is Emilie with an "ie" she was hired to do hair and makeup for TJ. When Karrick introduced himself as "Karrick with a K" she responded emilie with an ie"

She was super cool and fun. she is also a jazz singer downtown

the boy can work it

Karrick booked a fashion runway show. Tonight was the fitting and photoshoot. This little boy worked it like nothing I've seen before. He was so stinkin cute that I had to sneak shots and then OMG! I got caught and in trouble. K was so sweet while busting me that I felt horrible. I hid in the hallway while Karrick changed into his street clothes. I then heard K tell the rest of the parents "no pictures"  OUCH!

Everyone was sneaking pictures with their cell phones, I whipped out my Canon. The actual shots will blow mine away, I kept my flash off and the photographer's camera was hooked into the umbrella lights

I cant wait to see them

Filming of BOTR day 2

Day 2 of filming

TJ getting pampered at 7 am, He even got a warm towel shave. Today all the extra's were on set. My little Karrick was one of them. 

TJ's character gets a little tipsy

Lunch break...we filmed at Potbelly's in Deerfield

 Lena on the right went to Act One Studio (acting classes) last summer with TJ....a great surprise to meet up with her and her mom on set. The afternoon led us outside and it was cold...I mean cold!

 Always fighting the colic

 TJ just nails the 50's role. He is almost a carbon copy of my dad as a teen. The two pics below are my dad as a high school senior with his father on left and my mom on right
