Shooting for Transformers 3 is taking place in the street across the river from my building this week. The street itself looks like a war zone, with tons of rubble, smashed cars, and a burned out Vienna Beef street vendor cart. The crane with the blue box in the center of the last photo is the center of the action right now. They put a guy up on the box, raise it in the air, then he flips off while sparks fly out of the box. It looks really cheesy – makes you appreciate how much work goes into these movies post-shooting.

We’re in Naperville today doing a little shopping, and we stopped to have lunch at Noodles & Co. Ian just told us he wanted chachup (Ianese for ketchup) and reached for this bottle. No, Ian, that is most definitely NOT chachup.

Today Kyle lost his first tooth. He came to see me in my office, and while he was talking I thought I noticed something in his mouth. I asked him to smile for me, and sure enough a tooth was missing! Problem was, we didn’t know where it was! Katra and I proceeded to search the house until she found it at last, on the floor in the middle of Kyle’s room.

Later that night, Katra sewed a tooth fairy pillow for Kyle, which he proudly placed under his pillow in his bed. In the morning his tooth was gone, but there were 10 gold coins from the tooth fairy!

Kyle found a way out of his kid browser, Kido’z, and started up a regular internet browser. He then did a google search. What did he search for? What was Kyle’s first internet search ever?
See for yourself:
