i always said if i could have hand picked a mother for my grand children. a wife for my son i would have picked this girl Jenn, the girl my son did pick. she is a wonderful mom and wife. i could never have picked a better girl my self. we are so lucky as a family to have her. she is loved by all. she did this survey on her blog that has been going around..the kids interviewing her i would love for you all to see it i thought it was darling!!
>Survey Says...
>Survey Says...
So I saw this 'Interview your kid' thing on a friends facebook. And then two of my sisters did it and it's such a cute little idea, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, some of the answers I got from my kids I find rather embarrassing... but I'm going to post it anyway, and I will refrain from editing any of the answers. Please don't judge me! LoL
I interviewed my three kids. Each separately so that they would give more individual answers. I was really curious about how they would respond. Very enlightening. This was fun to do. I highly recommend it. =)

What a sweet tribute to your daughter in law.
Btw... the grandkids are hilarious!

Isn't it wonderful when our children pick someone we adore to be their spouse. And she's lucky to have a motherinlaw who loves her so much. I loved the interview with the kids. Mine are all grown up...but I still might try this!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I love my MIL, so that's so nice to see your great comments about your daughter-in-law.
I will return!

So funny. I think I'm going to have to try this with my kids. Wait, maybe that's not such a good idea. Who knows what they'll say?
Friday, March 27, 2009 2:25:00 PM
Oh man, this is hysterical! I may have to borrow the survey and try it on my kids...might be good for a few laughs, too!

You are too nice to me. =) All of those compliments I just don't know what to do with myself. I really am lucky to have such a good relationship with my in-law family. Love you Gramee!
