Happy Birthday!
My first baby is in double digits people! We had a friend party for the first time in years. She had so much fun. I was so stressed but after all the prep the whole thing was so chill I felt I barely needed to be there. The younger kids watched shows and played video games with daddy so Sienna had time with just her friends. I seriously overestimated the amount of food we would need and I can't eat the little ceasers pizza because they use cornmeal and the corn makes me so sick. But I dont think the kids will mind a few days of left over pizza.

A day on set
We arrive at the set, park and walk to the entrance. We wait in line to be swabbed for covid. After the rapid test is confirmed negative we wait in another line to check in. Once checked in we can grab some food and wait in our 3rd line to pick up her costume. We surrender my driver's license in exchange for her costume and enter a women's changing tent to change. I can't believe they use to dress little girls in such complicated outfits, but she looks stunning. Then we go sit in a chair by the hairdressers until the call her up. They put her hair half up, tie her ribbon, and secure her hat with Bobby pins. Then we go to wait in the "ready" room until the bus arrives. When the bus arrives we walk to the bus, before getting on the bus she gets her picture taken for "character consistancy." We load on the bus and I feel so sad for school kids. Wearing a mask on a hot bus full of people is suffocating, but driving into buffalo with Sienna's bright eyes and gloved hands against the window make it fun. We arrive at an old church where we snack and wait for 4 hours and then break for lunch. Oops. I didn't realize that wasnt lunch when they brought sandwiches. 6 month old Lucy enjoys trying bits of all the foods soft enough to gum and Sienna enjoys feeding the birds popcorn. Finally after 6 1/2 hours we walk to a green screen where Sienna plays ring around the rosies, and dolls with girls almost twice her height and walks in front of the green screen with her pretend parents. Lucy is getting very tired and I am doing waltz, foxtrot, and breastfeeding to keep her quiet. Someone tells me it is a closed set at this point but I explain I am a guardian of the littlest girl in blue, and they leave me alone. Finally it is time for all the kids to go! Thank goodness she is under....whatever magically age that means they can only keep her eight hours (although they would later break that rule for two night shoots in a row.) It was a really cool experience. Sienna threw up as soon as we made it home and we both remembered to eat less for the other 4 days of filming.
