- There aren't enough seats around the table to feed all of them at once.
- I don't have enough spoons.
- This:
- An 8 passenger Suburban becomes a necessity instead of just being a "cool toy."
- I'm constantly running the dishwasher.
- I think I've changed more diapers today than I did the entire time Jacob and Abby wore them.
- It takes an entire loaf of bread to make sandwiches for lunch.
- I go through a gallon of milk in one day.
- I hear a cry for help, or a "behavior report" (aka tattling) about every 32 minutes.
- Markers have become contraband.
- When I go out in public, people look at me like I am: A) Crazy, B) Brave, and/or C) Catholic.
So far all have survived. We'll see how the rest of the day goes. Tori is making "pushing" sounds as I type, so diaper #7342 is on the horizon...
hmmmm - do I sense a little respect for ME???

ReplyDeleteJami - I probably wouldn't have even noticed. Scary, huh?
And, Tim - Let's basically DOUBLE your usual crowd, take Faith out of the equation, and see how you do! It's very easy to laugh from a safe distance away!!

ReplyDeleteWhy do you really think they put closets in houses for? Not all the stuff, but for all the kids! (Just kidding to all you non-Holts out there who don't know that I'm kidding.)
