the a-z of me and max

i spied this questionnaire over at liz's blog yesterday and thought max and i would play along! such a fun idea...a chance to get to know us a little bit better. (plus max's answers are hilarious in a way that only a 7 year old boy answering odd questions from his mom can pull off)

B. Bed size: (mama) full...i dream of days of a californa king with matt's elbow not in my face. (max) 5 inches?

  2. I love Max's answers, but mostly I love that someone else loves puffins the same way I do! My blog and my zine were both named after different nicknames for puffins.

  36. Used cars are better to buy than new car. Why? Because used cars are affordable, economical and if you are buying from Japanese auctions you can buy auctioned used cars.
