This is so cute. I had it posted on my facebook but wanted to save it forever, so I'm posting it on my blog.
This was fun and interesting. Here are Jack and Elle's answers. I had planned on asking them after school but forgot about it until Macy came and said "mom, show Jack and Elle what we did on your computer this morning." Too funny that she remembered and liked it. :)

Sweet Elle.....
Ok - so you all know that Elle has always been my "drama" child and while she can be sweet, she could also be very hmmm, sassy? Well, it seems her sweet side has been taking over and we are all so happy!
Anyway, she is doing so well in school - is very helpful around the house, writes me love letters almost daily. She is really such a joy. Ok - she always has been a joy, but she was also very difficult for a while.
So, she is very into writing, drawing, art of any kind really. LOVES it! She will sit at the table from the time she gets home from school till it's time for her to go to bed just writing letters, drawing, etc.
Last week she made a card for her best friend at school. Wrote I love you Grace, Love Elle - drew all kinds of pictures on it, put it in an envelope (my sister gave Elle a HUGE BOX of envelopes and it was seriously the best thing ever for Elle, she loves envelopes!) decorated the envelope, and took it to school to give to Grace.
Well, apparently the other kids in the class told her that she never makes anything for them and only makes things for Grace or Ryan, her best friends. So Elle came home from school, sat down at the table and worked on a personalized card for EVERY SINGLE KID in her class! 21 children in her class! Plus one for the teacher. She decorated every card, wrote I love you _____, Love Elle" on every envelope. Decorated every envelope. It seriously took her all day to do it! It got to the point that I was telling her it was time for bed and she was saying - I only have 2 left! And after seeing how hard she was working on it, I let her stay up and finish them. She worked non-stop for 4 hours on this! A different card for each child. Then she numbered them with each kids number in class.
Anyway, she took these cards to school and passed them out to all of her friends. She was so excited to take them to school that morning! Well, while I thought it was really sweet - so did the teacher. She gave her an IB Attitude award from the school. We go to an IB school - IB is International Baccalaureate - and they have awards for kids that show an IB attitude. It's a pretty big deal - they announce your name on the loud speakers during morning announcements, and then the teacher sends the announced child to the office for an award. Elle got a coupon for a free ice cream at a local ice cream parlor. She was BEAMING!
Jack said his whole class clapped when they announced Elle on the loud speaker! Now he's upset because he's never gotten this kind of award. He told me that he does "nice stuff ALL of the time!"
But anyway, I just wanted to share this with everyone. She can really be a handful at times and has attitude that makes me crazy at times, but she is very sweet and really has a big heart!
Thanks for letting me share.
