What my kids think of me

I posted this on facebook, but I wanted to post it here as well...

And I am officially giving up the nicknames for my kids. It's just too hard for me to remember. Most of the people who read my blog, know their names anyway, and it was confusing for them. *phew* I'm relieved!


It's interesting to hear my kids point of view!
