You know you are a large family when....

(my kids helped me with this)

You know you are a large family when

people mistake your oldest daughter as the mother when they don't see you.

changing diapers, baths and clothes is like an assembly line.

the family quits drawing names for Christmas because your family ends up doing everyone elses' family and some of your own.

you dream of a minivan as being an economical run-around car.

10 pounds of potatoes isn't enough

at the grocery store, people think your pile of groceries are for a month, when in fact, they are for 3 days.

no one will let you rent from them.

you go through 25 pounds of flour each week.

you go somewhere with half the kids and folks still think you have a large family.

your younger children have never been to a restaurant $$$

your soup pot resembles vats.

you don't take samples at Costco, because you'd clean them out.

the whole family can't participate in a board game because it calls for "between 4-6 players".

you take up an entire pew...and them some.

you have to double a cookie recipe just so everyone can have 2 cookies.

A casserole takes 3 lasagna pans for one meal.

you teach the lactation specialist and midwife a thing or two wink.gif

And my favorite.....

you belong to cmomb! biggrin.gif

Anyone else???

Tagged for the *4*th time! ACK!

Admitedly, I have not posted the last two tags.  Oh what shall I do?  Since it was Lynda Coats that tagged me, and she is just so nice, I'll go ahead and post:


1. What is your favorite all-time movie?

I can't think of one.  I haven't seen a movie since 1988.

2. Where is your favorite place on earth?

With my dh

3. Do you run a home business, and if yes, then what is it you do?

No, but we'd like to bring in some income just  to support our music ministry so we can give away our music for free. 

  
4. What are some lessons in life you had to learn the hard way?

Don't leave your children with someone you trust if someone you don't trust is with them.


5. Assuming you're a parent, what is the one thing you are happiest to see in your children?

That they enjoy our company (we have 4 teenagers, btw ;) ) 

 

6. Who do you most consider to be your role model, the person you  most want to be like?  (No fair saying Jesus. Pick someone else.)
My mom
