This is really meant to be for one kid, but I wanted to include Evie's answers to have a bit of seriousness. She and David TOTALLY tag Brian B., Isaac J., Lily D. (or her little sister), Ethan W., Ella (KC's niece) and Zeeb (or Calvin) K.--only if their mothers want to help them out, of course, but we would LOVE to see what they think of their mommies!
**David actually thought I was 82. I asked him to be serious (he was joking for many of his answers) and he said "83?"
**Yesterday the kids peeled potatoes for the first time, and were excited about it. I was very glad because I abhor peeling potatoes, though I love eating them, and I now have my own potato peelers. While we were eating I told Greg that the kids had peeled the potatoes for me. David jumped in with "mom said it was a blessing". I took some convincing, but I guess I DID say that. Good reminder that kids will always remember more of what you say than you do.
**I have neither a sweet little voice nor a nice dress, but I am like Cinderella in some ways--I do slave away all day, and I did win me a handsome prince!

You look like Velma? Does she mean Velma from Scooby Doo, because I don't think you look like her at all!
Very funny answers. I think I'm going to try to get my niece to do this for her mom.
I love those kids! You are a great mom and I wish I could be around you for more rubbing off on me and my kids!!
KC- That's the very Velma she's talking about. I could go for looking like Daphne but being "different". I take Evie's comment to mean I look as dorky as Velma, but I'm not as smart as she is.
And if you SIL's (I assume?) blog is not private, I would love to read it if she does this tag. Tell her that we tagged her (I'll write it in)
Su-I know, but we can't all be super email checkers, you know! Everyone has their talents. :)
That was totally hilarious. I can't believe that Evie came up with Velma. Sadly, I think that would be more apt to me.
Well hi there old lady! (Are you really 82 already?) lol.
Those answers show what a great Mom you are! I shudder to think of what my kids would say. lol.
I found you through Annes blog. Hope you don't mind me keeping tabs on ya. :o)
I REALLY like your new layout. The colors are so nice. I would like something with wider margins like what you have now, but I am to lazy to redo stuff. Looks great Lisa!
I laughed out loud several times--my favorite was your age though. I'm feelin' my age too, sister. :)
I have checked a few friends' answers to this tag and it seems like all the kids love having their mom's make them laugh by tickling. Pretty great really. Especially when you consider that Parents magazine said that you should "never tickle a child because it is actually painful."
WOW. Good thing I am a rebel and don't listen to ALL the advice I get. :)
This is too funny! I haven't done mine yet b/c my crazy 3 year old just kept repeating every question! Grrr.
Ah potatoes! I made little piles of about 6 potatoes each and I think I had only two peelers but you all had your own pile to peel and then I would chop/slice them and cook them into potato soup. Remember? Yes it was a blessing...:) xo
