Cute! My idea of a perfect day is drinking a diet dr pepper at cafe rio. No wonder I like your blog so much.

Vanessa said...

I love that there is someone else out there that is 5'10" like me. We can look down on all the little peeps.

and ps, when I'm reading the confession booth 50 times a day, i love your tunes.

Erin said...

It sounds like your kids think you are an amazing mom. That's all that matters, right?

Ooh, and I'm 5'11. Where do you buy pants that are long enough???

How cute and I totally see a pattern developing here!

Tammy did this a while back and I think I might have it in my drafts, maybe I should ppull it out and dust it off.

kourtney said...

Kids are so HONEST! I love it! Hey, do you need a drink?

Brittany said...

i have to tell you: my mother and I would go at least once a day when i was growing up, over to crest for a drink! it's one of those awesome every-single-day memories... and now, i'm a mom who must.have.drink. 24/7... my husband, who is from a small village in Fiji, thinks i'm strange. i don't care.

Brittany said...

ps. i've felt validated all week by the fact that i'm now... on your sidebar.

samiam said...

carly k said...

I hope I am a mom just like you someday. Because, I love you.

Trina said...

That picture is adorable! The answers even more so.
I'm kinda afraid of what my boys' answers would be...

Whitney R said...

This is funny, and cute.

I wish I had some kids so I could do this quiz.

Wonder if I can modify it for my husband? Hmm.. wonder what he'd say I was bad at.....

Amy M. said...

I might just have to borrow that idea. I love your girls answers. I might be afraid of what my girls would say. Haha.
