You know you have a large family when...
- ...you have to carry three health insurance cards in your wallet- because that's how many it takes to fit everyone's name.
- ...you take the wrong child to the dentist...simply because your handwriting on the calendar was messy and both started with a "j".
- ...grocery shopping for 30 children and 12 adults for a two day camp constitutes a "small" shopping trip for you.
- You find yourself relating some small incident to your husband and starting with the words, "Well, I only boiled twenty-six eggs for breakfast..."
- ...you buy a 40 pound box of bananas intending to make banana bread and freeze a bunch for smoothies...but your children eat them all first.
- ...you find an afternoon root canal relaxing.
- ...it takes you twenty-three minutes on the phone to schedule your children's dental appointments.
- ...you've given up on using your toaster entirely and make all of your toast under the broiler in you oven.
- ...you are seriously tempted by the stacking cribs you see at Goodwill for $19.99.
- ...you find yourself thinking, "Wow, the house is so quiet and peaceful with only nine children".
- ...you have enough children to constitute not one, but TWO large families.
- ...you have a laundry basket devoted entirely to lonely socks seeking their mate.
- ...when you got to buy your children those cool "spin toothbrushes" because you think they get their teeth so much cleaner...but the store doesn't carry enough styles/colors for your children to each have a different toothbrush.
- ...when you can't take all of your children to the doctor's office at the same time because the waiting room has only 10 seats.
- ...when you still have seven children that are required by law to sit in a carseat or booster seat.
- ...you call the doctor to get your children tetnus shots, and they tell you they don't have enough in the office and need to order more from the health department.
- ...you take up more than one entire pew in church.
- ...you take only half of your children to the library, and STILL get asked if they're all yours.
- ...you go to fill your children's flouride prescription at the phamacy and you clean them out of every pill they have...and it's still not enough.
- ...you spend sixty dollars on socks...and not everyone gets new socks.
- ...you go shopping at Costco and the cashier asks if you're having a soccer barbecue.

Boys
Don't you just love them? Especially nine year old boys?
My nine year old boy recently acquired a goldfish from Wal-Mart. When it was purchased he was told if it died within 90 days and he could return it. All he needed was the receipt and the dead fish. Well, yesterday Cream Puff passed away...so as we headed into town I told him to put the fish in a bag and grab the receipt and we'd try to return it.
Our day became complicated, so I told him to just to give me the fish and receipt and I'd return it.
So he handed me his wallet.
"Your receipt is in here?"
Yup.
"Soooo, where's the fish?"
It's in there too.
"Your dead gold fish is in your wallet?"
Yes...you told me to get the fish and the receipt...where did you expect me to put it?
"Um...I don't know"
For the record, the fish was in a plastic baggie...jammed in to one of the credit card slots.

Mordecai Takes on the Alley
Mordecai's wolf den went bowling yesterday. My mom watched the other children so it was just Mordecai and myself. A little date (which ended with *gasp* a small order of fries from McDonalds!) Poor Mordecai's at a slight disadvantage when he goes bowling...the three fingers he's missing parts of happen to be the three bowling fingers. That means he has to bowl left handed- despite being right handed!
He did awesome though. Check out that form! He scored 86, not counting the spare the computer didn't record. He beat out every other other wolf (and even a Boy Scout who was there with his little brothers). You go Mordecai!
