At the risk of looking like a total fool (and I often do) I’m posting this little video we made the other night while cooking dinner. It was cold and windy out, which is why the shades are pushed into the window openings, and we were playing a favorite tune. Hijinks like this are the norm in our little cottage.
Starring: Don, Claudia, Scout and Riley
Don: the chef; in baseball cap
Claudia: in old sweater, baggy jeans and no makeup
Scout: looking for crumbs
Riley: looking for crumbs
Filmed: with iPhone
Quality: going for an edgy, cinema verite feel; in other words, totally amateur
Fun level: high
(I have 2 posts up today, there’s one with actual pretty pictures right below.)

Fabulous! I hope dinner was as good to eat as fun as it was to make. I am so thrilled to see grown ups having great fun. ~Kelly

You are right! I does look like fun! My dogs said hi to your dogs when your dogs started barking on the video! LOL
Cozy Little House says
Priceless! Tell Don he looks like a mourning dove, bob-bob-bobbing along! I love that you two have so much fun. I’ve never had that. It almost makes me cry just to see the easygoing manner you two have. Truly priceless and endearing! I love him and I don’t even know him. Don’t worry, you’re much prettier.

rosedel says
What fun! I’m smiling with you.
Ann@A Sentimental Life says
thanks for the giggle! You are brave to do that…how about those boots you had on!
I think the dogs don’t know what to think!
But it is nice to see a couple, happy and enjoying themselves!
Deb says
That was fun. Loved when the dogs joined in. I think we need to see more of these in the new year. I loved it. Hope you gave those dogs a treat for their vocals. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x4
Vera @ Cozy Little Cabin says
And you wouldn’t have had one bit more fun in a great big house w/a great big kitchen, would you?
Keep showing the joys of “less is more”. There are a lot of people out there who need to hear the message…especially w/all the foreclosures, etc. Just down-size with joy & love in your heart!
Diane Cayton-Hakey says
Perfect music for cooking and jamming away in the kitchen. What fun!!
Lucille says
That was such fun to watch, Claudia. You and Don are so funny together. What good sports you both are! I think the dogs looked sort of bewildered for a moment. Too cute! Thank you so much for that!

Was any vino involved in the making of the video? lol
Amy @MaisonDecor says
Hilarious!! Then my dog started barking when he heard your dog bark and it got even funnier!!
Betty Jo says
Claudia and Don that was a hoot! You guys can cook dinner for me anytime, as long as I get to be in the kitchen while you do it. ♥
AuntLou says
:D
wickedfaerie says
Great moves! That is the only way to cook dinner. Scout & Riley did not look impressed I think they were more interested in what was in Don’s frying pan.
Thanks for the smile,
Sue

Totally hysterical…. I would feel right at home. I was demonstrating my tai chi moves to my daughter once and she said it looked like “disco tai chi”
Party on, dudes…..
Mary says
Love, love, love it! You four are just the greatest family – and that stir fry must have been delicious!
Thanks for giving me the giggles Claudia.

Hi Claudia…and, the other members of your star studded cast! I assure you…that was riveting! I loved every single second…It definitely looked more exciting than New Years Eve at our house!
Blessings and laughter!

pam says
What fun!
I have a Lab named Scout and my daughter has a Boxer named Riley! They both love to hang around the frying pan.
Keep it up. It keeps you young.
What were you two making?
annette says
I LOVED it. Y’all looked like you were having so much fun. The is nothing like dancing before dinner.
Nola says
You two are nuts; I love it! The dogs look totally confused, like they should have a little text bubble above their heads stating “We are not responsible for our pet humans”.
Don looks a bit like a bobblehead! Don’t worry girl, you look great even without your makeup; your skin is beautiful.
An Urban Cottage says
My hat is off to you two! Very fun and funny!
Norma says
I think I should start every day by watching this little video Claudia, you two might be vegeterian but clearly you are a couple of hams ;) It’s definately made me start the day with a smile. Thanks for posting it! xx
GardenofDaisies says
Oh you guys are so fun! :-) My husband likes to sing along to Frank Sinatra when he cooks.
Debby says
So cute. My dogs started to bark when they heard yours bark.
Ceekay- Thinkin of Home says
So cute! My husband loves to JIVE to NCIS music!! But you guys are pretty good!!
Jill says
Okay, you two are hilarious! You’ve got some groovy moves there, girlie! As soon as the dogs started barking Hagrid looked over here and tilted his head, so I think your pups were a hit as well!
Hugs,
Jill
Belinda says

Melanie says
This was so funny! I like to act goofy sometimes and dance around the kitchen like a crazy woman, but my husband just sits there & watches me. He never acts light-hearted or silly like I do. He’s WAY too serious sometimes. Maybe I should show him this video. :-)
Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces says
I LOVE this so much, Claudia…I’d fit right in at your house…my family thinks I’m nuts half the time lol!
