Should I Feel Safe With These Two? I Need My Brains Almost Every Day!

Kaemie reported to a local school on June 14 to continue performing as a Zombie extra in a locally produced movie. This day was not nearly as long as the previous shoots, although we are all learning that working on a move is a lot of "sit around and wait." She got her makeup done again and I think it is a compliment to say that she makes a beautiful zombie!

This scene was being filmed on a playground, so they had a lot of kids around. The crew even asked Kenna if she wanted to be a zombie! Who knew Kenna's walk was perfect for this role? She had her costume torn up -

- then went to makeup -

- and took Zombie 101 class -

- to get the perfect zombie look!

My beautiful girls...

Fun with Food

On June 29, Kenna had kidney and bladder tests at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. Kaemie and Grandma Andra decided to go with us. It wasn't a fun trip... until we went to have lunch at Fritz's. The restaurant is Railroad themed - there are trains everywhere. We sat down at our table and placed our order by phone. When the order was ready a train carried it on overhead tracks to our table where it was dropped onto a tray and lowered to the table. Of course we had to wear the hats...

This Is What Happens When Kids Get Bored...

Gone Fishin'

http://www.castforkids.org/index.aspx Check out that link for a great organization that teaches disadvantaged children or kids with disabilities about fishing. Click on the link and find the details. I just wanted to post pictures of Kenna enjoying her day on a boat (06/13/09).

Kenna fished for a little while...

But driving the boat is the biggest thrill of the day!

Today's Entree Is... BRAINS!

On June 7, Kaemie made her acting debut. She is an extra in the locally produced, independent film, The Dead Can't Dance. Enjoy the pictures of "Punk Girl Zombie."

Some direction from the A.D. (that's Assistant Director for you non-film types). Craig was GREAT! He really took care of the zombie extras.

Scary!

Practicing the Zombie walk!

Kenna had to get in on the act.

We are all getting a little loopy. Kaemie had been at the shoot location since 11:00 am. This is about 10:00 pm. We ended up staying until 3:00 am. We all looked like zombies by then.

Even Zombies text.

Back to make up for a touch up.

More blood!

She's got the look!

Purple Ducks - by Kenna

A Photo Essay by Kenna. There are no purple ducks, but this is the title she came up with and who am I to question her artistic genius.

This is her new purse.

These are her new braces.

This is her "cell phone."

Clean apartment and stuffed Chimp.

Front and back of her ring.

The scar on her leg.

Wii Games.

And the black hole I didn't know existed in my apartment. Leave it to Kenna to find it! Good job, Kenna!

Messages from a Zombie!

The last six text messages from Kaemie:

Eek. It's almost time.

How fun!

Right now I'm waiting for costume. They're gonna bloody me up and tear my leggings.

I got to shred my leggings. The guy said it looks like I died and mice chewed on me.

Lookin good. I just got dirtied.

It's scary here!

If you haven't guessed, Kaemie got a part in the movie she auditioned for. She will be a zombie extra. She won't be paid, but she'll get screen credit. I'll post pictures later! Here is a link to the films website: http://www.harmyfilms.com/
