Silly kids

*tap tap* Hello?

This thing on?

Oh, that's better.

Now I can give loads of excuses for my absence the last 17 days, but I figure that since this isn't the first time I've gone a few weeks without blogging you expect that from me now. Instead of boring you with all the things we've been up to I'll post this questionnaire I've seen on a few blogs and thought was cute and promise to try to blog more. I pulled the kids aside one by one and asked them these questions and put down their answers unedited.

BTW - Karis is six, Silas is three.
