21 Questions for Addie

The last in my "21 Questions" installments. It's only taken me 5 months to finish. Frankie's here and Laneys here. To hear my poor children you would think all any of us ever do is clean, talk about cleaning, yell about cleaning, and then clean some more. My house shows that none of those are true, but it does give me cause to wonder if we're talking/complaining about it too much? Or if somehow we can flip the script and emphasize all the other fun things we do that were not mentioned here at all. I see how these questions are more fun for the younger crew. I had high hopes for Addie, but turns out 8 year olds aren't always super introspective and thoughtful. Who knew?
