Pretty funny to hear the response of these kids. They got some of them right. Jenna gave up half way through. Can't blame her, there are a lot of questions. 


I  think all my friends and family should ask their children the same questions and post the responses to your blog sites!

 

Back to School

So it is that time again. Back to School. The girls started preschool
on August 12th. They go in the afternoon this year. It is the
girls last year at preschool. They were so excited to start. Jenna was
way excited to wear her "pirate" shirt. She asked me every day if she could
wear it and I told her not until your first day of school. When she got up that morning I
told her that she was going to school and she ran back into her room and got her
shirt down. She still asks to wear it everyday.
The boys started school on July 28th. Gabe is in 4th grade and Jax is in
2nd grade. My boys are getting so big! They both like school alot and are glad
to be back in even though they only had a 3 week break from school.

Girls Princess Day

We went on Saturday down to the Provo Paul Mitchell School for their Princess day. We invited some of the girls friends around the neighborhood to join us. It turned into a birthday party for one of their friends. We had 12 girls with us. The girls had up dos done and make-up and manicures. They also mad picture fames and had their pictures taken. It was so fun watching them all get done up.
