Last week, Georgie and I got carried away with late nights and late mornings due to something called Half Term. Can I just say I love Half Term? Canceling the alarm clock, staying up an extra hour or two watching reruns of The Walking Dead, cooking, baking, making messes and getting stuff done around the house was a nice change from our strict daily routine. I decided to step away from the laptop too hence the white noise here on the blog.
Green Monday provided an extra day off, which was ‘welcomed’ with several members of our family coming down with the flu. I think this was the first Green Monday spent in front of a fireplace watching movies. Doesn’t sound too bad, right? It wasn’t, actually. We were surrounded by family including my grandparents and had vegetables and bread coming out of our ears.
Monday evening arrives and I am preparing, both mentally and physically, for Tuesday and our return to routine when I get a phone call. Georgie had been chosen to participate in another TV commercial. I’m making it sound like it came out of the blue but that’s not the case. The week before, a friend who owns a production company called to ask if I would be interested in allowing Georgie to take part in an ad for a local boxed juice brand. This would be his second filming after the Nannys commercial in 2013 which albeit exhausting, turned out to be an awesome experience. I agreed. He went in for a casting session, met with the director and got the gig! Filming a single one-minute TV commercial involves an army of people and a 12-hour working day. Thankfully, Georgie is the Energizer Bunny and as sociable as a dolphin so I could relax and skip the guilt trip. Above are some pictures from the day of filming including one of my boy’s adorable morning face.
Time to sign off after this brief update…Georgie turns 4 this weekend. Again, lots to prepare… Both physically and most importantly, mentally.
