Agents of DONUT

Our children are so creative.

A few years ago, they created a (very amateur) video series called "Agent X".  It starred our son Isaac, with the other siblings as costars.  Naomi and Lydia, our eldest girls, wrote the scripts. Agent X was a spy/action hero type who battled against the evil Naki (Naomi) and her minions.  The scripts involve a lot of running around inside and outside the house, and amusing banter between the good guys and the bad guys.

After a season or so, there were creative differences between the star and the writers and Agent X was, sadly, eaten by alligators (off screen.)

So then the show became "Agents of DONUT". Donut stands for Do Gooding Organizational Nutcase Upsidedown Team.

The bad guys are COBRA:  Cooperative Organization of Blasting Rude Attackers.

This week, a new set of Agents of DONUT scenes have been filmed.


These are some of the good guys.  They have to be shrouded in blankets because the same siblings are minions of the bad guys and it would look silly if we could see their faces as good guys.

Naomi -- with green hair and terrifying make-up. Yes, she is the evil Naki, leader of COBRA.  (You can't see the green hair really well here.) 

As I've said before, I love how creative our kids are.  I also appreciate how hard the big girls work to write amusing scripts and keep the middle kids entertained through things like this.

And kudos to ME, as the MOM, keeping the littles out of scenes.  That ain't easy.
