Today was the big day. Alaric was so excited. He wanted to sit at the desk with Anne and wasn't very excited to hear that he would only be standing but couldn't wait to see what it was like in a TV studio.
Well, I got the kids up early after putting them down early last night in great moods- and AMARA WAS LAYING IN HER OWN VOMIT! Yup, she had thrown up. Yuck. I tried to get her bathed and she screamed and screamed. i thought, " Oh dear, how am I going to do this today". But minutes later she was dressed and sitting in the kitchen eating, laughing, and playing. So, I decided maybe it was a fluke and I'd try it.
We got to the station early and saw the kids outfits! The spring line. I wasn't even thinking sleeveless or short sleeved when it was snowing outside. They both looked adorable.
Look at Amara's 80's inspired outfit and hair and shoes!
The General manager from Macy's shows Allyson and Lauren their outfits too!
Anne's hubby dropped thier baby off and she changed Josh quick in between segments!
The conference room we were dressing in was right off of the news room. Alaric loved to see where the reporters worked.( notice Mara and Al holding hands. I told them they would need to do that on TV and they wouldn't let go of each other)...
Until it was TV time! As soon as it was time, Amara wanted nothing to do with Alaric's hand and didn't want to stand still so I had to hold her. I never would have worn white if I thought I would have been on TV. Oh well, they did amazing, really! It was so much fun. My super smiley kid, Alaric who couldn't stop talking was in awe of all the cameras and never smiled once.Oh, and when you watch it, you'll notice Alaric holding his hand out to touch the table the whole time. Anne showed Alaric right before the cameras started when to stand. Then she touched the table and said, "near this table" Well, whether Alaric was using it as some sort of measurement or a obeying a direction, he wanted his hand to be out and touching the table just like Anne did.
Then Anne surprised us all with a quick tour of the station. They got to see the news desk AND....
...become newscasters! look at them all! Lauren and Allyson ( being held by mom Andrea), Alaric and Amara! They loved it.
Look at this natural- she could be the next Katie Couric! ( those hands folded crack me up!!)
Alaric poses for my camera and all the others.
Mara loved every second!
Then, the other morning host, Rob Collins came over to have conversations and give high fives!
We even got to go behind the scenes to see how the producers and directors pull it all together for a live show!
Video of Alaric and Rob Collins talking about the dog on his shirt and whether or not he has a real dog at home.We had so much fun- what an incredible experience! Anne, thanks so much for thinking of us and for being so great! It was amazing!
Oh Yeah, Macy's let us keep our clothes!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!! We love Macy's and Ms. Rhonda!
