Julie I love this. Out of the mouth of babes. Your children certainly "rise up and call you blessed." I'm gonna do this with my kids and see what they say. Did you have to edit their answers? I can't imagine straight answers like your kids gave coming from Madalynn and Justis especially. They get goofy and would start being silly.

I did not censor. On #11, Preston at first said, "spanking us" but then he said "No, no, driving."

I do have to admit I was amazed at their answers. I saw the grace of God right there. I truly thought they would be more negative.

When you do it with your kids, post it. I would LOVE to read it!

So cute and what a fun read! Wonderful that you got to do all 4 children and a great idea to post it to your blog instead of just FB. I might have to do that too.
