The Kids Behind The Blog - May Edition

The Kids Behind The Blog

Nothing marks the rapid passing of time quite like The Kids Behind The Blog monthly interview. Every time I sit down to write my post for the month, one thought comes to mind: How is it already {insert month here}?!? This year is flying by even faster than last year!

Each month, I ask my kids a set of questions and I love to see how they answer. It just gives me a bit of insight into their thought process and some of their responses are hilarious! I love this link party, because I know that one day I will be so grateful that I did this!

The Kids Behind The Blog May 2017



If you had a magic tree-house that could take you anywhere in the world, where would you go?



Liam (Age 3): "See Dada. See Papa." (Mom Thoughts: Not surprising!)

Liliana (Age 5): "I would go to the beach! Virginia!" (Mom Thoughts: It's her favorite place!)

Alexandria (Age 10): "I would go to Bunny Land. When I go to sleep, I see it. Okay? Don't judge me." (Mom Thoughts: When Lexie gets old, she's going to be the crazy bunny lady.)

Dylan (Age 12): "Can it be fantasy places? I would want to go...I'm thinking here...fantasy place...maybe a medieval castle back in the 1500's! That's where I would want to go!" (Mom Thoughts: Bonus points for creativity!)


The Lucky Few


Finish this sentence ... "Red Rover, Red Rover..."



Liam (Age 3): "Red Red Red Red Red. Red Rover Red Rover!" (He followed this by laughing so hard that he fell over!)

Liliana (Age 5): "I don't know what that means! Wait...I would say I'm coming for ya!"

Alexandria (Age 10): "Sees rainbows."

Dylan (Age 12): "Call Dylan over. I guess. I don't know what Red Rover is! Weird..."

Mom Thoughts: None of my kids have ever played Red Rover. I had to explain it! Definitely a sign of the times I guess. Apparently a game of tag called "Infected" is a thing now?


Ballerina


What is your best childhood memory?


Liam (Age 3): "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."  (Mom Thoughts: I think Liam is done with the interview. And Dylan is going to be grounded for teaching him how to say blah blah blah!)

Liliana (Age 5): "My favorite memory was when you babysitted Charlie, and she fell over by your door and said, "I farted!'" (Mom Thoughts: What is it with kids and farts?!?)

Alexandria (Age 10): "My best childhood memory was when I went to the Deckhouse and I got a prize." (Mom Thoughts: Awww! It was her birthday and she was SO excited!)

Dylan (Age 12): "Let me think here. I'm going to have to say whenever we built the swing set in the backyard. But now I can't go on it because I'm too big!" (Mom Thoughts: He's right and it makes me sad!)


Dancer


What is your favorite part about nature and being outside?



Liam (Age 3): "Outside. That. Bounce bounce bounce!" (Mom Thoughts: He's LOVES to go outside and he loves to jump on the trampoline!)

Liliana (Age 5): "My favorite thing is finding baby animals that are hurt. I help them survive and when they feel better I let them go." (Mom Thoughts: Can you tell what her current career choice is?)

Alexandria (Age 10): "My favorite part about nature and outside is that there are pretty flowers and creatures." (Mom Thoughts: Typical positive Lexie answer!)

Dylan (Age 12): "My favorite part of nature is toads, and finding them. Any reptiles really. My favorite part about being outside is basically you can do anything you want. You could build a tree fort or sword fight with sticks." (Mom Thoughts: If only we could pry the football out of his hands...)


Childhood


What do you think Mommy would like for Mother's Day?



Liam (Age 3): "Pig. Oink, oink, oink."  (Mom Thoughts: Only if it's one of those teacup pigs that I could dress up in tiny outfits. Anybody have a few thousand dollars to contribute?)

Liliana (Age 5): "I would say a picture of a flower and a tree."  (Mom Thoughts: I would treasure it!)

Alexandria (Age 10): "A nice day to relax!" (Mom Thoughts: BINGO!)

Dylan (Age 12): "I don't know! LOTS OF CHOCOLATES!" (Mom Thoughts: He DOES know his chocolate-obsessed mom quite well!)


That's a wrap! As always, I loved hearing the kids behind MY blog answer these questions. Check back next month for June's interview!

  4. haha, crazy bunny lady. I would be too if I wasn't crazy allergic to them, so sweet that she wants to help all of the animals. What I wanted to be when I grew up, until I realized I was allergic to anything with hair...haha!
