We just came back from a brief spring break trip/extended birthday celebration. Not only am I way behind on everything, there is snow on the ground. Is there no justice??
So I stole this post wholesale from Slouchy. Well, except I put in my kid’s answers instead of her son’s. I may be lazy, but I am not quite that lazy.

LOL! This is great.
I love how she wants to control her brother. Ha!
And the Greek gods are pretty cool too.
Love where she wants to go back in time.
So they have pain, cars and Slovakia in common! The sibling trifecta.
Eloise IS funny.
I’m very impressed with both of your children’s knowledge of time periods. And BTW, Jo looks soooo grownup these days!
