Gorgeous Weekend



We had such beautiful weather this weekend that it was very hard to get any work done inside. Because of that, we did get many of the weeds pulled, some of the bushes trimmed and the grass mowed. The kids spent plenty of time on their bikes and Coco just ran wild. I did manage to get all bedroom boxes completely unpacked so everyone is very comfortably settled into their new rooms. Josh even hung our first picture tonight!
We took a step toward achieving a dream of Quincy's today. He has been claiming for years that all he really wants to do is be an actor when he grows up. He took some acting classes and did a few performances when we lived in West Lafayette but not much since that time. Well, yesterday, I took him to an open call for an audition in Cincinnati with an acting coach. He did very well and out of 200 applicants, he was one of 10 chosen to return today. He went back and again made a good impression so he will now begin his training on Saturday mornings at a school in downtown Cincinnati. He is very exciting and has already been given some monologues to learn and some acting technique books to read. We'll see where this leads!
While running around Cincy, I did manage to squeeze in a trip to Ikea where I got a few ideas for my bare living room!
