Yesterday as Cooper and I were just talking, I thought, "I have got to record what he is thinking and saying these days!" and this questionnaire that I had seen on other people's blogs and Facebooks came to mind. After interviewing all three kids, I was glad to have their thoughts documented. Some of their answers were obviously off the top of their heads and not really thought about, but I think that they are hilarious! I'm so glad I asked them these questions! Here are their answers...
1. What is something I always say to you?
A - I love you.

8. What is my favorite thing to do?
A- Sleep and read
J- Scrapbook
C- Watch grown-up shows (Let me clarify that by saying that he means shows that he is not allowed to watch... like LOST.)

A- Mom
J- Being a mom

So there you have it. The Official Questionnaire About My Kids' Mommy. I've got to say, this job as their mommy brings me more happiness than anything on earth. To read their answers, well, it just makes me smile to know that they know how much I love them.

That is so cute...I love their answers. And I got a really good laugh from Mr. Cooper's answers....he must be so funny to hang out with.
I love your list, and I love the answers. It's amazing the difference in responses among the ages. Your kids are so precious and I love the relationship you have with them.
Those are such great answers! I agree with Amanda ... the differences in their answers are so age-indicative and so fun.
Too cute! The good news is, it appears you have a clean house. :-) It's so funny to read how kids perceive their parents.
For the record, I have not scrapbooked in months... maybe a year. And Corey called me The Queen of Disception after he read this post... Want to guess why? Yep, it was all that talk of cleaning. Oh well, it's all about the memories that they'll take with them right. As far as that goes, I'm a real June Cleaver... Shhh! Don't tell them the truth. :)
I LOVE this post! I will have to copy it when I think Claire can actually give me answers that even somewhat make sense.
You are a good mommy and it is hilarious that Corey sees your cleaning skills so much differently than the kids. Claire told me this weekend to stop cleaning because I always clean...hahahahaha.
Sour cream with salad! Too funny! Cooper cracks me up!
I love this most. In a year or so I may be searching for it to use with Clinton. There is no telling what's going on his head!
I loved seeing the difference in all the answers. That Cooper sounds like a hoot!
This is so great! I am going to have to do this with my kids and I can't wait to hear their answers. This is great family history and would be perfect to put in a family journal. Sorry, I am a consultant for Once Upon A Family and this is perfect for consultants and customers. Thank you for sharing and I hope you don't mind me using your questions.
