5. My child's birthday(s) are: Am I supposed to know these? Lemme think... 7/15 & 12/16... am I close?
6. The most exciting part of being in labor was: That it wasn't me? ;-) It was watching my little boy pop out. I almost cried. :)
7. Did you have a c-section?: I don't think so... lemme look for the scar...
8. Do you have a significant other?: Several... Wait... no. Just one.
9. What is your most chanllenging aspect of parenting?: Remembering that my kids are just kids. And letting things go.
10. Do you have any hobbies?: Karaoke. Singing. Music. Ummmm... nope.
11. What type of activities do you enjoy doing with your children?: Tickle Time & Holding them when they are sleepy.
12. Pro-life or pro-choice? Why?: Pro-Life under most circumstances (you do the crime....). Pro-Choice is there is a real reason for it. This has changed since I've had kids.
13. Do you have an emotional quality you would like to share?: Huh?
14. How do you feel about discipline? What is your method?: I grew up with very few "spankings" or "beltings". I believe the same for my kids. While I don't feel spanking is evil with a capitol E, I believe it's not called for in all but a very few circumstances.
15. What do your children do that makes you smile?: What don't they do that makes me smile? I love these munchkins. But for now it's Gavin "talking" or smiling and Shaina dancing and singing and stories and smiling and laughing and hugs and... I could go on. :)

18. What do you like to do as a family?: Car rides, making breakfast, beaches, playgrounds, etc.
19. How do you spend quality time with your children?: Playing with them and trying to open their eyes to everything that they can and will be. Showing them new things and explaining the things they are just starting to think about and question. I love to watch whatever my daughter is watching with her on my lap. I rarely get "cuddle" time with her since she's so fiercely independent.
20. Name two things that make you a lovingparent?: That I would die to protect my family in a second... And... that I make a good tickler? :-D
21 What frustrates you the most about parenting? And how do you deal with it?: The crying fits. I deal differently every time.
22. If you are a single parent, how do you cope with being a single parent? If not skip.: N/A
23. Please post 2 pictures of your children, and one of yourself. Family pics are great too.: I think
