I was sitting at the computer, with Kate right by my side, and we got to talking. Soon I started asking her some questions about herself, and when I heard her answers, I immediately started typing--I had to record them. I wish I could have got her on tape--there's nothing like hearing the little voice to match! I had so much fun talking to Kate, that I called Emma over and asked her the same questions. She was equally as charming, and I have been laughing all day about some of the things they said.
I absolutely love the spontaneous answers, and being able to capture their little 4 year old personalities. The things you find out during interviews like these...I need to do them more often!

Love this post. Man I wish I would have been as smart as you to have written these kind of things down long ago. Well done!
I don't know how you can't read that and cry--so very sweet. I've never heard their voices but I can almost imagine them standing there all excited answering your questions.
Once a year we had a sheet for the kids to fill out that had many of those same questions and they are so fun to read today.
You are such a great mom.
So so sweet. Next time you should grab a camera to capture their little voices. I especially liked one of the comments from Kate. Did you know Morgan's name is Morgan Elizabeth? I knew I liked that Kate of yours...she has excellent taste.
SO CUTE! Love their answers and their cute little personalities. Interviews...what a great idea. I'll have to copy that one!
Very Sweet! I should try this with my children.
I was just telling my girls yesterday we needed to do some interviews now that they are 7 - I'm totally using some of your questions!
So stinkin' cute!! I love moments like that! Glad you got to record their answers :)
I'm definitely going to copy that one. It would be fun to do it every year around their birthday and see how things change!
How adorable! I wish I would have thought to do things like this with each of my kids....priceless!
so cute! I'm excited for Brooklin to talk more so we can have times like this. I hope I'm smart like you and I remember to write them down!
You have the most adorable girls! They will be so glad you captured that moment :)
How sweet they are! And I'm going to have to copy the idea, too!
Love it...memories!
