We're Gonna Be Famous

When we got to Boston we furnished our apartments with awesome, vintage, temporary furniture.  We knew we would get rid of most or all of it at the end of the summer.  The time came to move so we posted all our stuff on craigslist.  A couple days before we moved Jimmy got an email from someone interested in one of our chairs.  The email said that they were doing Sandra Bullock movie and wanted to buy our chair.  Jimmy thought it was for sure a scam but replied anyway, telling them that they needed to pick it up by Wednesday.  Over the next 24 hours he went back and forth by email and phone with different "film" people about picking up the chair.  Then the big day finally came.   Jimmy coordinated with Kyra, "Set Director" who coordinated with Alix, "Set Director- Assistant", who coordinated with someone else, who coordinated with someone else who came to pick up our $5 vintage chair.
I played paparazzi and snapped a shot of the set designer who came to check out the chair.
Wish we would have charged more.  I'm sure Sandra would have been willing to part with at least a hundred bucks.
So that's it.  We're gonna be famous!  Our chair will be the star in an upcoming Sandra Bullock film, The Heat.  
Here are some other cute, random shots we got while in the moving process.  We gave James some watered down juice in a bottle and when he dropped it, Ali took advantage.  What's better than one bottle?  Two!!
 Sleeping beauty!  
 We cleared out this cabinet to get it ready to sell and the kids had a great time hiding in the cupboard.  I love how Ali always wants James to be a part of the fun.  She'll get in and then says, "Jamesy!" while pointing to the spot next to her.
 The table is gone but a box works just as well. 
 Sweetness!
