Answer: Going into a full-blown tap dance always works.
Question: What traits have your kids picked up from you or your hubby?
Answer: Grayson has just starting wearing a robe and smoking a pipe, which concerns me because he's three and a half. I mean, the pipe has bubbles in it ... but still. And Riley is disorganized and leaves stuff everywhere, just like us.
Question: Who is your TV-mom role model and why?
