21 Questions I Asked My Kids...

Well, my kids and I had quite an interesting conversation today before nap time. You see, I had read about 21 questions to ask your kids over at Hey, Ho, Kelly Go and I thought I'd give it a try.

First, let me introduce you to Michael...

He's almost five and loves being Spiderman, Captain America, or a cowboy in no particular order and at any given moment.

This is Melody...

She's three and loves everything about being a "Pincence"...that's princess for those of you who don't speak "three year old" fluently. Other favorite things include having her nails painted and wearing her Tangled or Captain America Girl outfit.

Now that you have been introduced to the participants, here we go with the answers to their questions:
