National American Miss practice......

This weekend we had our first "job interview" practice, as well as how to stand/sit, etc for the interview and public speaking. I was wondering how they were going to do this, and quickly found out. They had all the parents stand, and told all of the 100 or so girls (age 4-20) to randomly pick an adult that they didn't know, 4 girls per adult. I had two 11-12 yr olds and two 15-16 yr olds. Then each of the parents was given a list of potential questions for each age group. So... I got to be a "judge" and do mock interviews with the four girls. Jazzy went to another parent across the room:) It was actually kind of fun! Then we practiced walking with a gown on and introducing ourselves:) Just bought Jazzy's new gown online... used of course. It is really beautiful, and I really hope it fits.

Egg Coloring this Weekend...

Last year we colored too many eggs and had to give them away to the neighbors. This year we only colored a few. Not being a happy homemaker, I didn't know you could color eggs by putting them in a plastic bag with a few drops of food coloring. It kind of makes them look tie dyed. The whole process was fast and easy to clean up. My kind of eggs. Now just have to get Jasmine to eat them.
