Interview

I saw this cute little interview on my little sister's blog and though it was so cute! My kids are a bit older, but it made me curious what they thought, so I decided to do it. I emailed Jessica the questions. She answered them and sent it back. I was checking my email just outside of Austin's room and decided to just ask him the questions while he was playing. He had his cousins sleep over last night and my nephew Garret thought some of the questions were pretty funny. He would get the cutest grin on his face and start jumping around, "I know! I know! Can I answer?" I went ahead and included his comments, cause it was kind of cute.

Jen, if you are reading this, you have to do this with your kids! Drew came and sat down by me and wanted me to ask him all the questions after he heard me asking Lauren. We have to get our chores done before it is too hot outside, so I don't have time right now. (I still haven't finished unloading the RV and I'm sure my neighbors don't love me right now.) I told them I will ask them after we do chores and if I have a minute before I run get more fabric for the curtains. I thought about just interviewing them for you, but I'm really curious what they think of me!! Besides, it will give you a fun start for your blog!
