Spatula City

We started filming today, and yes, that's why Daddy is holding a mondo-sized spatula.  This was purchased at Spatula City (we sell spatulas, and that's all).  What better way to say "I love you," than with the gift of a spatula?

This was one of two videos that was shot today, which featured the grill ultimately being thrown into a swimming pool - along with a child and a whole lot of Christmas presents.  Also, we filmed a video at the warehouse today, where there was this nice office setting - complete with all the typical office furniture and computers and so forth.  And it was all pretty much destroyed, hosed down and completely doused (along with the employees there).  It's part of a "fire prevention" skit, where a character goes overboard to make sure everyone stays safe, at least in his eyes.

Here's Madison afterwards, when Kellan and Chris came over to visit.  Madison was pretty surprised by the big old spatula.  She was here showing off her growing butterflies.  Those are those things you put in water - they start out small, and grow in size over the course of the day.  Chris is seen here, marveling at their tremendous size.

She spent the day helping Mommy paint the front porch, weeding a bit, and of course the usual round of piano and other assignments.  But it was quite the leisurely day for her.  We're thinking that's okay until next week kicks in!
