There you have it! Always interesting to hear their perspective on things.  Also, Spencer has taken Anna to maybe two movies in her life (clearly has made an impression) and who knew that watching a cooking show on Sunday mornings with her Dad would mean so much to Kate.  He also does LOTS of other things with them, but they didn't make an appearance in anyone's list.

Thanks Emily for passing on such a good idea!

I looove these! They always crack me up. I tried to get the kids to say Doofenshmirtz because Dave loves him but they refused!

Megan said...

so cute! i especially love all of adams answers. i tried to get eli to do this but he couldn't stay attentive enough to answer the questions : (.

ps- we are also frequent watchers of phineas and ferb.

We did something similar. I love this. I wonder if the answers will get more boring as the years go by. Thank goodness for little kids!

It has been so fun to catch up on your little family. I didn't know you were pregnant again. That's so exciting . I love all the kid quotes, especially Adam's. Haha! Anna, Sabine uses the word 'creepy' sometimes too. She misses you and asks about you every now and then. Miss you and glad to hear you are all doing well!
