Interview with a 6 year old

I promise this will be my last post for at least a few days. I know I have been on a posting roll. Lots has been going on. But I couldn't let Ashlyn's birthday pass without a question and answer interview for the memory books. So here it goes.

What is your favorite color?
Pink, purple, gold, and blue

Who is your best friend?
Grace. But I really like Mailey, Blake and Angela too.

What was your favorite thing about your birthday party?
Doing the potato sack races

What was your favorite present?
My jewelry box and my Thumbelina doll (from Uncle Ty and Kohl)

Did you have a good first day of school?
Yes, I got to wear the birthday hat and everyone sang to me.

What is your favorite thing about first grade?
Recess (I get two of them) and lunch

What is your favorite thing to learn in school?
Science. We get to learn about bugs this year. Even butterflies.

What is your favorite thing about church?
Singing time

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Mom, you already know this answer. I want to be a swim teacher and a gymnastics teacher.

How many kids do you want to have?
Ten. Five girls and five boys.

Where do you want to go to college?
Hm? I don't know. Why are you asking me all these questions.

Okay, I guess I'm done. I love you sweetie. So glad you are part of our family. It wouldn't be the same without you!


Leah didn't want to be left out of the conversation, so here are a few answers from her too.

What is your favorite color?
Pink

What do you want to be when you are older?
A mom

How many kids do you want to have?
Five. All girls. No Brandon's (boys). Just a Dad (I assume she means a husband here). Although I promise she LOVES her brother.

What is your favorite thing about church?
When I get to go to my class (nursery)

Okay, good night Leah. I love you too! And YES, for the 20th time today, I promise we'll have an Ariel Pajama party for you when you turn 4. I guess I'm gonna have to hear about it for the next six months. Whew!

Good idea with the interviews. I'm totally stealing it and will be conducting them with my kids once they can understand me and of course speak:) I was just looking through a scrapbook at my parents house the other day and LOVED reading my answers to questions like the ones you asked Ashlyn! She will love it too I'm sure!! Only 2 more weeks...HOORAY! Can't wait:)

Wow 10 kids, huh? I wanted 8 - somehow I changed my mind. Ashlyn is so amazing and seems so grown up to me.
