Are you excited that you're about to be 9? If so why?
Yep, because then everybody younger than me will be kind of jealous and also I'll be older and closer to being a teen.

We're eating out at Brion's Grill
What's your favorite food?
Ribs (Interviewer's note: I'll bet he learned to love ribs from eating his Uncle Dan's grilled barbeque ribs since they're the best in the world)

Uhhhh, well better than earlier in the year because I know more people and have more friends and I'm getting used to the classroom climate.
Do you like school?
Yeh, kind of.
What's your favorite subject?
Social Studies
And how are your grades?
For the last two quarters I got two G's and the rest O's. (Interviewer's note: oh oh - maybe I won't be including this)
What does that mean?
Two Goods and the rest Outstandings (Interviewer's note: Whew! That's more like I expected since I'm pretty sure he's in the Gifted and Talented program at his school.
What books do you like to read?
Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the Thirty-Nine Clues Series

Oh, I'm doing soccer
Football

I play video games and play outside. Sometimes if I can't go outside, I made up a card game and I make cards for it and sometimes I eat.
Seeing you. (Interviewer's note: He already had my heart but this really sealed the deal.)
Do you like having lots of cousins?
Yeah

Ummmm, well, yeah - Evan.

I like the activities that we do. We make cars and boats and race them and sometimes we make candy things like snowmen out of marshmallows and pretzel sticks and for Christmas we made a sled and painted it.
Do you have certain chores that you do around the house?
Sometimes I clean my room and make my bed and pick up things around the house that are mine.

A professional football player or be in the Army
For a hobby, I like to sleep too - but just at my house but if there are people around like friends and cousins then I like to stay up.





I can hardly take his cuteness AND his sweetness. He is such a wonderful little (but big!) boy! Nice job, Mom.
ReplyDeleteWhen your birthday interviews show up in my Google reader, I ALWAYS (hard as it is) ignore them until I have time to sit down, read them, examine the pics, etc. Your interviews never disappoint. You are blessed to have such a wonderful family. His comment about being closer to a teen tickled me. But "getting used to the classroom climate"? LOL! Happy Birthday, Matthew!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, his pictures are killing me. The ones where he is so tiny, like hitting the ball off the tee are almost too much. Love them! Happy Birthday, Matthew! I loved his interview and his very intelligent answers!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Matthew! LOVE these pictures! I think the one of him and Jenna pushing the wagon is my favorite! They were soooo tiny!! The interview was awesome too! He is too funny! Great post Grandma!
