Taping Day: Nickelodeon's BrainSurge

We went down to LA on Monday...Elijah and Adam got to be on their first T.V. game show. Nickelodeon's new show BrainSurge is due to air this summer. The boys were so excited that they got to take the day off of school. But that excitement quickly fizzled, they had to go to school on the set. We sat around the green room eating, eating and eating. Oh, did I mention we ATE?
How come whenever you're bored and there's food around, you keep munching away? By the time they finished school we were stuffed.

It was a VERY LONG DAY. We got there at about 10:00 a.m. and the boy's didn't finish until about 8:00 p.m. A word of advice for you parents who want to get your kids into acting...you better have tons of patience.

We were talking to a dad who does this all the time for his daughter and he said that last week he spent about 30 hrs. just sitting in his car waiting for his daughter. NO THANKS! I'm pretty patient but that is ridiculous. It was a really fun experience for the boys. You are probably wondering how they did? Sorry people...but we signed legal papers saying that we can't give out any information until after the show airs. So I will tell you when it's on and you can watch my two "little" guys answer some very difficult questions.

For all of you parents who think that this show is just for kids, you're wrong...make sure you watch it with them. It'll be an exciting family friendly show. I even had a hard time answering some of the questions. I predict that BrainSurge will be an instant BIG HIT!

Nickelodeon's BrainSurge-They Both Made It

Elijah and Adam both tried out for Nickelodeon's new game show. Adam was the first one to be contacted and went down for a taping last week. But they had over booked the kids (they had informed us that they usually do this in case some kids don't show up.) They asked if Adam could come back on a later date because we live closer than most of the other kids. Anthony wasn't to happy (he is not the type to sit around all day for nothing), but he said, "Okay."

When he got home he told me that they also wanted Elijah to do a show. So we are now re-booked and I will take both boys back in two weeks for their taping. I was hoping that they would be on the same show (the two step-brother's are a crack up when they're together), but they said they will need to do it separately...darn it!

They are really excited and I'll let you all know how it goes and when it will air.
