A Mom's Tag

After reading this Mom’s Tag on several other blogs (Alice, Wendy, Cally) – curiosity got the better of me and I decided I had to do it myself. I was very interested to see what types of answers my children would give me. I have to say, it was quite fun to watch my two oldest kids consider each question and hear what they had to say.

I did not let them hear each other's answers until we were all done. Here are the questions I asked and the answers they gave:

1.What is something mom always says to you? Ry: Take a shower! (ha ha! He hates that I make him take a shower every day!) Rach: I love you.

2. What makes mom happy? Ry: Her kids being happy. Rach: Her children being good.

3. What makes mom sad? Both said: Her children being bad.

4. How does mom make you laugh? Again, both gave the same answer: She tickles me.

5. What was mom like as a child? Ry: A good girl. Rach: She looked like a baby.

6. How old is mom? Ry: 38 (correct!) Rach: 48?? (NOT correct!)

7. How tall is mom? Ry: 5’9” (I wish! He was about 5" off!) Rach: I don’t know.

7.5. How much does your mom weigh? (my friend Alice added this one for fun) Ry: 70 pounds (ha ha ha!!) Rach: I don’t know. (good answer – smart girl!)

8. What is mom's favorite thing to do? Ry: Scrapbook & hang out with her kids. Rach: Playing with her kids.

9. What does mom do when you're not around? Ry: Hangs out. Rach: Cries.

10. If mom becomes famous, what will it be for? Ry: Winning a scrapbook contest. Rach: Loving her kids.

11. What is mom really good at? Ry: Scrapbooking. Rach: Loving her children.

12. What is mom not good at? Ry: Video games. Rach: Shopping (ha ha! - that's only because her dad freaks out every time I spend a penny.)

13. What is mom's job? Ry: Taking care of her kids. Rach: She doesn’t have one anymore, but she used to have one like Daddy’s.

14. What is mom's favorite food? Ry: Can I say a drink? If so, it’s a margarita. (as mom hangs her head sheepishly) Rach: Salad.

15. What makes you proud of mom? Ry: That she is such a great mom. (truth? Or a little sucking up to mom perhaps???) Rach: That she loves us.

16. What do you and mom do together? Ry: Color and read. Rach: Go to the pool and have family movie night.

17. How are you and mom the same? Ry: We both have brown hair and brown eyes. Rach: We have long hair, our eyes are the same color and we love each other.

18. How are you and mom different? Ry: Uhhhhhh….(he said that for a really long time, then said...) I’m a little short-tempered and Mom is not. Rach: Mom is big and I am little.

19. How do you know mom loves you? Ry: She spoils me. Rach: I see it in her heart. (awww…huge lump in my throat!)


If you're a mom and want to play along -- come back and let me know you did!

And -- I still have that sweet blog award from Jeanne to pass along. I'll do it -- really I will!

Hope you all have a great week!
