Lily & Katy

Do you have any pets?

Yes. I have two pets, Lily and Katy. They’re cats. They used to not have collars—we lost their other ones—and now Katy has a blue flower one and Lily has a green heart one. They match their eyes!

Who do you like to play with?

Derek & Desiree—they’re my cousins. Gabby & Annie. I pretty much have too many friends and I forgot all their names.

It's SPACE CHIMPS!!!

Space Chimps.

Dolphin tag! It’s like Hungry Hungry Hippos, except it’s with dolphins and you push their tails and it has little fish in the middle and you have to gobble the fishes. The one who gobbles the most fish is the winner! (She totally made that game up on the spot. She was in storytelling mode when I did this interview apparently.)

And I like the dress-up game on Charlie and Lola dot com.

Inspiration for this interview came from New Year’s Interview for Kids at Blissfully Domestic (via The Crafty Crow). I don’t scrapbook, but I have a blog, and I’m not afraid to use it! I hope to repeat this interview annually. I think it’ll be fun to compare the answers from year to year.

    I have it on video, but I decided not to use it. I was laughing so hard at some of her answers, all you can hear is snorting and cackling in some parts. Lovely, indeed.

    Thanks for the idea! (I give you credit at the end of the post.) =)
