I (big puffy) heart interviews with children and thus I completely loved the Father’s Day gifts the children brought home from school last week.

The answers are sweet and cute and hilarious! One of those “I should have thought of that” things! Loved it so much I had Emma do one, too. Here are their answers:

Jaiden

He weighs 10 lbs. and is 20 feet tall.

My dad loves to relax by the chair and he likes to wear his softball shirt.

Daddy always tells me to clean up my room.

It makes him happy when I clean up my room.

When my dad shops, he loves to get drinks.

If he could go on a trip, he would go to Boston.

And just, you know, for the record, Darin just turned 29 on Friday (not six!). He’s about 195 lbs. and is 6’2″ tall; his hair is light brown and his eyes are blue. When he actually sits down and stays out of the poison ivy, he likes to relax by lying in bed and watching some kind of sport, any kind of sport. Wait, did I mention sports? He loves to cook anything easy – ramen noodles, sandwiches, soups and, yes, Sister Schubert rolls – and especially sausage and eggs for breakfast. I think his favorite household chore is mowing the grass, but he often blurs the stereotypical gender roles by folding laundry and cooking and cleaning the floors and picking up where I slack off (but I’m getting better at this).

The “relaxing by crying” comment made me laugh out loud! How funny! Also, he didn’t know who Miranda Cosgrove was; Emma’s obsessed with iCarly.

The kids had the store answers nailed. Quite often he drops by a gas station for food, candy and drinks. I nag him about this (he’s a diabetic and doesn’t make the best choices; I nag him because I want to keep him around for as long as possible). lol.

His favorite show is Ghost Hunters, anything that has to do with any kind of sport (except ice skating) and any kind of show like Cops or stupid criminals, etc. Jaiden was pretty close with guessing “Superman” as one of his favorite songs; he also loves Ozzy and various other alternative and classic rock things. He often goes on trips for business and has been to Boston once and Texas twice since October; he loves those places and those guesses were pretty close. He also loves national parks, California and one day hopes to go camping in the Alaskan nothingness, a la Into the Wild.

They were all correct with the “Daddy always tells me” and “It makes him happy when …” answers. Because Darin’s a great dad. And we love him for it! This interview was SUCH a great idea. I’m totally keeping these. We can display them when they get married or something. lol.

Jaylen was so cute – he colored Darin a Father’s Day picture at school and he FRAMED IT when he got home. lol! I love that precious boy.

We spent Father’s Day at my parents’ house with my brother and his family, Dara and Isaac and my in-laws. We ate a ton of food, swam for most of the afternoon and brought home leftovers and sunburns.

Life is good.
