I don't remember BUT I do know that we will be going out this weekend BOTH Friday and Saturday without them! Woo Hoo! (Anniversary and Adult Prom...fun weekend!)

15. What is your favorite pastime/activity to do with your kids?
We love to play outside at the park right across the street from our house. We seriously play out there almost EVERY single day.

16. Name one thing you said you would never say as a mother?“You better stop crying or I will give you something to cry about."

17. Name one thing you do, that your own mom did?I go around and pick things up with my feet. I totally remember my mom doing that when I was little.

18. What is your favorite quality your mom has? She is FUN and compassionate.

19. What is your favorite kids book? I love "Are you my Mother?"

20. What is your favorite advice for new moms? DO NOT play developmental derby with others. Honestly...every kid develops at their own pace and just because your kid isn't crawling by six months or talking by 18 months...it doesn't mean something is wrong.

21. What is your most heartbreaking moment as a mom? I remember feeling REALLY overwhelmed after Landon was born. I was tired and I felt like I would be stuck in my house forever becuase there was no way I was ever going anywhere with all 3 boys. I had a breakdown on the way home from Landon's first Dr. appointment. Luckily those feelings didn't last too long.

22. What is your most joyful moment being a mom? There are way too many joyful moments....there are moments every day that I find great joy in.

23. When was the last time you told your kids, “I Love You."
Tonight...when I tucked them in to bed.

I'm tagging any mom out there who wants to do it!
