You Know You're a Large Family When....

Soooo.....there's 2 in that growing stomach up there. And I let them all pick their own people and amazingly they all wanted to look alike. So much for individuality or any kind of personal identity!

I ran across this here and laughed as I read. I also was emailed even more that I added onto this. Is it odd that we actually can say yes to pretty much absolutely every one of these things?? Somehow we don't ever seem that large until I read something like this.

And the 2 yet to come!

People ask if you have two sets of twins. Or about your triplets. You don't have either.


You get in line for a tour at a museum and they give you your own tour guide.


You hear, "You've got your hands full" at least 3 different times while you're out in public with your children.


You hear at least twice while you're out, "If you keep going you're going to catch up to the Duggar's."


You get told constantly, "You could have your own TV show."


You actually have people willing to nominate you for your own TV show.


You start reading a story to one child and end up reading stories to three of four.


You buy a family pass to a museum but have to add extra for all of your children. Or you buy multiple family passes to save money.


You really DO have two sets of twins. And/or triplets.


The only vehicle you fit into as a family is a 15 passenger van.


You read the fine print on the "kids eat free" offers.


Everyone you know has less children than you do.


You go to the grocery store and buy 36 bags of cereal.


Your everyday table seats more than 10.

Four pounds of bananas only lasts a day...or any fruit for that matter.


You make four dozen cookies and they're all gone in 2 hours.


You have to do a head count before leaving to go anywhere.


You have more than 2 sets of bunkbeds in one room.



Someone asks where the boys are and you ask, "Which ones?"


You say eight different names before you get the right one.


When you have 6 people in one bedroom. (....umm, so we're kind of going on 8 for this one)


You cook with equipment made for restaurants.



Everywhere you go people ask, "Are these all your's?"



You take up 2 pews in church.


You have to double any recipe. (we quadruple most stuff...scary)


You remember when something happened by the baby that was born that year.



You have 3 bathrooms and they are always full.



Everything you buy is in bulk.


You go through a drive-thru and order and they ask you to repeat your order 4 times.

You do 8 large loads of laundry a day and you're still not done.


You go through 2 bags of cereal for breakfast.


2 dozen eggs are consumed in one meal.

When the bedtime routine takes 2 hours.

...and my own new personal addition.....


You own a 15 gallon canister, 4.5 hp shop vac for your main household vacuum cleaner. We just resorted to this and I must say.....I am in love and have no idea why we didn't do it sooner.
