Snow!!

With a post title like that you'd think I'd have tons of photos with little Harlow galloping in the white fluffy, fresh powder snow but some one, uh um, Jason dropped the camera and now it's broken.  My iphone was dead when it really started coming down so we missed all the pictures of her snowflake covered eyelashes yesterday.  She kept saying snow, snow all day and ho ho ho, I've got to get that one on video it's my favorite right now.

Yesterday we had to get up crazy early and a car took us to the Bucharest police station.  Long story short someone on the production end didn't work out the whole visa thing so everyone on this show had to go down get their pictures taken and apply for one.  Little Harlow got her first visa at 21 months old.

After that we spent the rest of the day on set with Jason.  Harlow really loved being in the makeup trailer, I don't know why but she was loving all the actors coming in and getting all made up.  She was the life of the party.  I took her to the stage and she was walking around set saying "wow mama WOW!" The set was lit up like night with fake trees a car scene and something was on fire. I can't show you pictures of that, but here's a couple photos of Jason's home away from home about 14 hours a day.

Harlow getting cozy with her baby in the make up trailer

 She's developed a money obsession she likes sorting the bills and credit cards and putting it in a wallet or purse.  Oh ya she's all about carrying a purse everywhere she goes now. I didn't even bring a purse to Romania because everyone said the gypsies were going to get me.  So I have no clue where she's getting all this girly behavior from.  She even pretends to put lipstick on, but I think Alison taught her that one.  Oh and half the people here are carrying around Chanel, Gucci and LV bags so I'm pretty sure I would have been okay with a my cheap old purse :)

Harlow carrying her purse on her elbow...just makes it super girly, seriously it's not from me.

Things are moving along over here, we're making plans to travel to the castle this Saturday which should be incredible in the snow and I can finally get my mom a Transylvania t-shirt.  Everyone is done filming today but poor Jason and Kerin are working on makeup tests so they won't be done till Friday.  Then it's all about Christmas can't wait!!!

In other news I'm really sad about the Nic Cage video on TMZ and I think it was on the news here the other night too it paints him out to be a lunatic.  It was all a misunderstanding and people only see one side of things, damn you camera phones.  Nic is a very sensitive sweet natured guy who just had a little too much to drink and was provoked.  Could have happened to everyone I know, only no one cares enough to record us.
Sorry Nic, that sucks!!

Snow and Farm Animals

We woke up to the most beautiful fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky!  It reminded me of the soap machines they use in Disneyland during Christmas time to make the fake stuff.  We all rushed to put on our warmest coats, hats, boots, gloves and scarves only to get outside and the snow was gone.  It wasn't cold enough on the ground yet for it to stick so we missed it.  I was bummed because I can't wait for Harlow to experience it, I just want to see her face when she steps in snow.  The temperature is super low so it's only a matter of time till it comes and stays.

Harlow and I have been missing our dogs at home so we ventured to a little children's farm just outside of Bucharest.  On the drive out we saw so many stray dogs running by, way more then in the city, and these ones looked more like sheep dogs.  Down one of the alley ways I saw a small puppy sitting there all big and fluffy, he was calling to me I just know it.  It's so hard not to ask the driver to pull over, but honestly what would I really do?  Carry Harlow in one arm and be the crazy lady trying to chase the puppy in this little village?  Then what if I actually got him?  I'll figure a way before I leave, just don't tell Jason.

This place we went to was more like a zoo with farm animals.  They were all fenced in different areas and you could walk by and put your hand in to pet them, well actually I'm not sure if you were allowed to pet them but I did.

It was freezing and the sun went down quickly so my iphone took some pretty crappy pictures.  There were donkeys, mini ponies, chickens, goats, bunnies, pigs and baby cows.  When was the last time you saw a baby cow?  They have such amazing innocent eyes, big old eyelashes, reminded me of the cow on blue bell ice cream or was it blue bonnet something...oh well they were precious.

This picture is so blurry but those big baby cow doe eyes just kill me.

Dan the driver pushing Harlow on a little tractor, I couldn't get her off.

Harlow chasing a chicken around.  They had those chicken that look like they have white furry boots on, man I'd love to raise one or any chick for that matter.

I took so many more pictures but all of them are terrible, really need to get the camera from Jason or just learn how to carry the big one around.  I don't trust myself with the big one though, not miss oh let's just rest expensive electronic right on top of the stroller and then forget and start pushing, oops.

I'm slowly learning how to dress Harlow for the winter weather properly, the colder it get the more I pile on her, poor thing is beginning to look like the kid who couldn't put his arms down in The Christmas Story.

All is well here, a little over two more months to go and we'll be home.  Time is flying by!!
Love to everyone
