From the Mouths of Babes

While searching for something on my favorite scrapbooking site I came across some fun questions to ask your kids. I printed it off and have been meaning to do it since then. (the paper was printed 9/30/2006, I think I have waited long enough) So, with that list and another list I found at the website Family Education, I made my own list of questions I thought would be fun to ask Ned. Dusty is a little young for most of the questions so I will make a different list for him later.

I know it is long, but keep reading, it is worth it!
