I was interested in what my boys' perspectives are, so I've asked them to answer these. It might be really fun, boring, or horrible, but whatever it is it will be honest.

Took the younger two to lunch at Panera's with Fraps from Starbucks. Picked up SB from school and got him a Hershey's Pie from BK. Friends have invited us to dinner tonight. After dinner, I'll secure the kids at home and pop across Post and attend a Martha's Table event where we will bake pies (well, I think make the pie to bake in our own home). Shall be fun and a full day by it's end. Dad will be home tomorrow . . . I could really use the back massage now that I've tackled this interview.

lol they are great answers Sarah.
I am thinking about interviewing my older children. I was a bit frightened of doing that though because I think they know me much better and don't see me through the rose coloured glasses that Tom and Amelia do.
Great answers! Love 'em.
i love t's answer to #10.
r
I started to do this one with my six year old, and every answer had something to do with me being on the computer, so I canned it.
I notice yours mentioning blogging once or twice, so I won't feel too bad! :)
I am also worried about hearing that I "BLOG" too much or that is my favorite thing in the world....cause I do have a life I really really do!
I didn't know you could draw! Show us some of your work!!
I will have to try these questions with my kiddos.
It has been fun getting to know you better.
Come hither!
The perspective of our kids is always interesting... it would be fun to do this every 5 years & see how it changes.
The first answer had it...'i love you'...it makes me sad to think of all the children in the world who have never heard their parents say 'i love you'. I always tell my children every day, many times a day, that i love them. If that is all my kids remember of me, then i will die knowing they knew i loved them. Of course, words without actions are empty, i hope i show i love them too :-)
Love this..hmm...maybe I'll try it..if they aren't too old to respond still! Ha! Fun.
I recommend doing it with your older children, just not together. Ask them individually and do not let them sit near your screen as you type in their answers . . . they do not understand there's no real wrong answer . . . and mine started to get silly then started to fight so I separated them . . .
The one's I have read at other blogs I have enjoyed immensely.
