In early February Lyric spent one extremely crazy day filming a segment for Home and Garden TV’s series, “Crafter’s Coast to Coast.”

What fun! Be warned though... they wanted everything so “over the top” that I’m not sure I’ll recognize myself! Can you believe it took six hours to get six minutes worth of air-time? I have a new respect for film editors. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

We started the morning (early) with crazy shots of the kids and a ton of their “stuff” literally spilling out of the mini-van. I think the idea was to show how crazy life is with four kids. No surprises there. They took lots of film of me standing in the kitchen with the baby on my hip and the kids racing back and forth in front of me. That’s not too far from real life...at least at dinner time!!!

Receiving instructions... again! There’s nothing like doing the same thing over six times because I can’t remember what they wanted me to say for two seconds!!!

Thanks to my wonderful friend Wendy Magee for shooting these pictures for me and then whisking my kids off to school and the sitter! Couldn’t have done it without her!

Renato has a new best friend!!! Every time I’d turn around he was playing with the baby. She liked him too!
