The Baldwins to visit

Ya! Jess and Bart were in town to shoot a Brighthouse commerical together and they had the whole day off so Sean took off from work, my mom watched my kids, and the four of us got to hang out all day!!! What a great day it was. Jess and I went to meet our other friend Mindy (also from our Theatre UCF days gone by). Mindy is pregnant with her 2nd with her due date only 2 weeks away...although she is very ready to have the baby now...poor thing was in so much pain. We meet her at the Birthing Cottage where her mid wife is and then headed over to Cracker Barrel (she was craving it). We talked for hours, inside and out on in the rocking chairs as it stormed (and boy do I LOVE storms!!) Her daughter Maddie was amazingly good..wow! The guys went to Chili's and hung out at the house waiting for us chatty girls. Then they practiced for the shoot tomorrow (had Sean and I do their parts...too funny).

Then we were going to go out for dinner, but it was so rainy (Jess and I got pretty soaked already) that we decided to go get some steaks and eat at the house. What a great decision that was, it was so much nicer to hang out together at the house than try and talk over the noise of restaurant. And we could be as loud and obnoxious as we wanted!! And when you put the 4 of us together...it's loud with MUCH LAUGHTER! In the photos below you can probably see the tears from the laughter if you look closely (they look like glitter around my eyes...LOL) I made my steak with onions and feta cheese with sweet potatoe fries and Jess made her walnut/craison salad and hershey syrup/peanut butter micro brownies (the recipe Sean and I agreed she should paton.)

Below are the pics from us setting the timer on my camera and us crazy 4 being quite silly, you would have thought alchohol was involved, but nothing of the sort!

First is our "prom photo"Casual photo

Crazy photo...we were all supposed to be animals but we all wondered what kind of animal Bart was suppossed to be Bart and his infamous "go go gadget arm!"We took so many pictures before we actually got all four of us in the photo. We were laughing so hard that when they left I was exhausted from the laughter workout...good times...good times! (just hope their 6am call in the morning that Bart's "moneymaker" (that's what we call his face...long story) was still making the money (Jess....you'll have to show that to Bart...LOL)
We have always all wanted to live closer to each other (they live in Miami part of the year and New York part of the year because of their modeling/acting jobs). But now we are praying he gets the HSN spot he auditioned for because they might actually move to St Pete. Ya!!

Sean and I were talking about taking a train ride up to New York to see them, sure would be fun with the boys. Our next family trip with them will be the mountain house in October on their way back to Florida!
