Y’all know that back to school interviews are one of my favorite things we do every school year. In the past I’ve done the girls answers separately and other years I’ve done them in a single post. The thing that hasn’t changed from year to year, is that the girls actually love this little interview. Even if you guys aren’t interested in reading all of their silly answers that so perfectly depict their personalities, I love having these interviews over after school snacks and especially love comparing their answers to years past.
I decided to split them up this year, so here are all the answers I wrangled from Ella after school yesterday. It’s hard to believe she’s in the fifth grade — our last year before middle school! — and will be eleven in a few short weeks. It’s like her childhood has flashed before our eyes and the next thing we know, she’ll be dancing at her wedding?! I don’t often wax nostalgic, but I will miss these days with her. Even the ones where she drives me absolutely crazy.
1. What is your favorite color? blue

4. What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast? pancakes*
5. What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch/dinner? pizza

23. If you could travel anywhere this year, where would it be? Hawaii
24. If you could change your name, what would it be? Ruby* (we almost named her that)
25. If you had one wish, what would it be? unlimited ice cream!
* These answers didn’t change from last year’s interview
I will be interviewing the girls on their first day of school each year for as long as they will let me. I can’t wait to see what a difference a year (or two) makes in their answers! You can see Ella’s previous interviews here: 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016.
