All about Me

We sat down for FHE last week and did "All About Me" for Jared and the boys. Wesley's kindergarten teacher sent it home with him for homework, so I was inspired to have the whole family do it. No one asked me the same fun questions, but I guess that is just what happens when you are the mom, right? No one takes your pictures ( you are always snapping them), you are behind the video camera, and it's up to me to keep track of all our "family life" info.

Here are some of the questions:

Wesley, Age 5Favorite food: ravioli
Favorite color: purple and blue
Favorite movie: wolverine, x-men, Treasure Planet (and Scooby Doo)
Favorite game: Hide'n'go Seek, tag, "Base" (alguien te busca, te corres, llegues al sofa y eso es base)
Favorite toy: swords, and Venom
When do you feel happiest: If you buy us a toy, or let us watch a movie, or you let me eat a candy
When do you feel most sad: When you spank me, or mom spanks me, or when Austin scratches me almost to my heart, starting with my head.
When do you feel scared: When I am at the store alone b/c someone left me and a bad person comes and takes me and kills me (quite the imagination!)
