What Was That?

My friend Liz has always been full of good ideas, ones that I'm not afraid to steal. She asked her rascally duo this set of questions recently and I thought it was a great way to capture where the small people are in time and space around the same time every year. I've had this done for awhile now but I was waiting to measure my people to complete their height/weight stats. Well, they have wanted no part of the measuring so I'm done trying to wrestle them against the wall -- I do quite enough wrestling to get Jack into a coat and by the door instead of high tailing back to his train table upstairs. An aside, you'd think a kid who plays with trains before breakfast, at school, before lunch, after nap, before dinner, before bed and at the occasional trip to the coffee shop with a train table  would tire of playing trains. He has not. He never gets tired of Thomas. Sometimes I wish I liked something other than carbohydrates that much.  Anyhoo, here are the questions and answers:
