Getting to know Addie

Addie just asked me if she could answer "some questions like what color crayon would I want to be like we did a long time ago." Josie just joined in, so I thought I'd share their answers. I think this is from a 2008 version of Getting to Know Your Friends and Family.

1. What is your occupation (chores in their case)? A-doing dishes and setting the table and sometimes washing the grapes. Oh, and potty training Gwen. J-doing the laundry (taking it down to the basement), helping Ella do the shoes, and vacuuming

I have to add here that a few weeks ago the kids were all in front of the church for a mini kid sermon when our pastor asked them what chores they had to do. Most kids answered things like "make my bed" or "feed the cat." So when Josie's answer was "do the laundry," I think most people either thought she was a liar or that I was a total slave driver:0

2. What color are your socks right now? A-Not any color at all......I was gonna wear purple and white socks.....I love the short kind that don't go higher than my ankle. J-pink footy pajamas?
