Break in the weather

We are having a bit of a break from the weather today! Yesterday it got to 115 degrees on our thermometer, and thats the outside temperature, not the inside of the car! Today is a mere 82 degrees at 10am. Princess (must change that name!) is coming over in an hour to 'play'!

Audition Day

     

Alex heard an advert on the radio for models and actors and so called, just to try it. He got an interview, so went off at 9am Saturday, with Mr. Smith and went to the audition. He got a call back and then got signed to a modelling/acting agency!
Apparently he was the star of the auditions and noone had his "look". At the workshop he met Nick Spano and had his picture taken. We have never got into all this before and looks like there will a lot of driving around for long trips to Atlanta, but Al seems to be really enoying it!
He has an audition next Saturday for a TV show. Fingers crossed!!

Friday 10th August - 108 degrees!

   
Another day at the pool but when it reached 108 degrees we finally gave in, and I bought the boys home! Managed to get a photo of the temperature reading of 107 degrees!!

Saturday 11th August - Princess gets a Princess!

I will post more pics later, ever since I made the web albums of our holiday, normal pics won't post anymore! Odd!!
Today we looked for a dog, and went out to see a DOG, not a puppy! House-trained, short haired, calm and SMALL.....came back with an arrangement to trial a 6 month puppy, not house trained, long haired, half shepherd/half lab!
Warning...don't take your kids to help you pick a dog! pick it and tell them thats what they are getting!!!
But best of all ...she was obviously was meant to be mine......she is called Princess!!

Sunday 05 August

Just back from the pool. Its around 100 degrees and the water is like a warm bath!!
I have a very poorly toe. On Friday Alison, Sarah-Jane and Emily came and stayed overnight and Alison and I had a few drinks. I went upstairs to check on Alex, stepped on and rolled over his baseball bat, slid to the floor, executing a perfect pair of splits
( 9.6 9.6 10. from the judges!) and smashed my toes into his bed post!
Unable to walk properly all weekend Mr Smith found himself having to do all the boys back to school shopping himself. Oh dear!
For those of you who think I did that on purpose (yes you Jen,) I really didnt!!
