However with that being said, my youngest is (in my eyes) destined to become a Broadway actress. She walks around the house turning every sing-a-long song into some Broadway sounding show tune. Sooo I looked online for kids acting summer camps. I thought it'd be easy. The most recommended place closest to my home is already booked. Then on their site they 'suggest getting a jump on it for next year, as parents seem to love them' So next summer I will be calling you for tips. Or maybe I could fly you out to California, and you could wait in line for me.......I mean with me, with me! I wouldn't try to make you wait in line for me while I sleep...No!<br />P.S. every time I see a picture of you I can't put my finger on who you resemble. Then it just hit me. I swear a brunette Charlize Theron. Your smile or something. I'm not just buttering you up to get my daughter into camp or anything.;)J.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17127301827412234029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-6712999904034110102013-04-24T16:16:16.815-05:002013-04-24T16:16:16.815-05:00Ah, what wouldn't we do for summer afternoon n...Ah, what wouldn't we do for summer afternoon naps!
