8.  What is your favorite meal to cook?
Crock Pot Chicken
9.  What is the meal you cook most often?
Probably eggs or pancakes or crock pot chicken (When Reed is gone we do easy.  Oh, who am I fooling it is usually easy, or fast, or fast food.  This is not an area where I shine.)
10.  What is your kids favorite meal?
Toast and chocolate milk (No, I'm not kidding).
11.  What is your favorite thing your husband does with your kids?
Plays with them, baseball, or "tickle time."
12.  What are five things that make you smile when being a mom?
Listening to my kids giggle, seeing them asleep in a big pile on one bed, watching them play so well together, seeing them do goofy things (like Jake learning to skip), watching them succeed.
13.  If you could take your kids anywhere where would it be?
A cross country trip seeing all of the major war, church, and historical sites.
14.  When was the last time you went somewhere without your kids?
Today - they are all in school so it is easy now.

Watch movies, play games, baseball.
16.  Name one thing you said you would never do as a mom?
I swore I would never be that mom that went nuts in the middle of the store and beat my kids.  I still haven't - knock on wood.
17.  What is your favorite quality your mom has?
She could always relate to us through our teenage years and was very approachable if we had a problem of any kind.
18.  What is your advice for new moms?
Sleep, don't sweat the small stuff, it's okay for a baby to cry, etc., etc.
19.  What is your scariest or most heartbreaking moment as a mom?
Scary would be when you have lost them somewhere or when they are sick and you don't know how to help them, heartbreaking is watching them try so hard to do things and then letting them fail or make a mistake.
20.  What is your most joyful moment of being a mom?
It's all pretty joyful.  I love watching them stretch beyond themselves or succeed at something they have tried really hard to do.  I also love the laughing - then I know they are happy.
21.  When was the last time you were told "I love you" by one of your kids?
Just before they went to bed.  They are good to say it a lot.

I tag Niki,  Caroline, Arleene.

Are you allowed to tag that many people? How does this tagging thing work? Do your kids STILL sleep in a pile? That is one of the cutest things ever.

Thanks for the tag. Will definitely give me something to think about - but I like it because it's a little more in depth than just your favorites.

Thanks for the tag, again, it was a little bit harder this time. I did use some of the same answers as you. You are more articulate in expressing what I feel and can't put in words.
