As much as the girls help with my parties and see every aspect of their creation, I sometimes wonder if they really understand what it is I do. So, tonight while they were in the tub, I had a captive audience to ask them some questions.

What do you think mommy’s business is?

G – You make fun parties. You make all of it. You buy a LOT of stuff. You always make lots of desserts. Oh – you sell party kits. You sell party plans.

M – It’s a party business for kids that want to have these certain parties and they think they would be fun and they like your ideas.

G – And they could ask you to do a different party. Kids’ parents could email you to see if you could make a new party and see what you come up with.

M – You sell great parties. Things you need for the party. Instructions of how to do it. I also think that you send them a little bit … wait, no, that’s all.

M – Why are you doing this?

G – It’s for her blog. [So I have to say I’m surprised that G knows what a blog is!]

What’s your favorite party that we’ve done?

G – I have to think about that one. I have no idea. They are all my favorites. Maybe Wizard of Oz.

M – That’s a tricky one. I’ve liked them all, so I might answer all. Because I’ve loved them all very much.

Why is the Wizard of Oz party your favorite?

G – I liked the rainbow cake. A lot of friends were over. It was really fun. But it was really cold outside.

What do you like best about my business?

G – We’re always in the parties.

M – Coming up with the parties, spending time with friends, doing crafts, taking pictures. I really like every single thing. I also like the food that you make homemade.

What’s your favorite part of a party?

G – Eating the candy and sweets. [I wish you could have heard her evil laugh.]

M – Eating sweets.

G – We said the same thing!

What kind of party would you like to do?

G – I want to do a cheer leading party. And an Indian party where we all have black wigs and our hair braided.

M – I would like to do a cowgirl party. Did we do a fairy party? [Yes! Remember?] I would like to do a Barbie party. And one more. I would like to do an Enchanted party. We could like get costumes and dress up as the characters and do a little play.

G – No.

How do you feel about going to the craft store with Mommy on the weekends? Do you like to go?

G – Not really. Well, actually I do. (I made a mistake.) I like getting Ritz Bitz in the checkout line.

M – I’m normally not that excited but when I go I sort of enjoy looking at things. So it’s a little bit of fun. I especially like saying “I can find it, I can find it” when I really can’t. I just guess where it is. [Yes, honey. I know.]

Do you like helping make crafts?

G – Yes. I just like doing crafts. And I like baking for the parties, like that rainbow cake.

M – I also like helping you get ready for the parties. I like helping you find things when you can’t find it. [That is ALL the time.] And getting things for mommy like getting soda out of the refrigerator. [You just never know what they think is fun. Who would have guessing getting soda?]

G – Why does your computer have an apple in front?

Me – Because it’s an Apple computer.

G – That’s weird. I don’t get that.

G – Emergency here. I have to poop.
