father's day surveys 2013

i had no idea scout had filled out a father's day survey at school,
until he brought it home on a friday afternoon just 2 days before the day.

weeks before the big day, i jumped online and found one the boys could take.
i love these surveys because their answers tell so much about how they
think and view their dad at their particular age.
{and this stuff is priceless to us}

i sat down with finn and scout {separately} to ask them questions.
here are their responses:
