You know you have a large family when???

I had to laugh when I read Mama Archer's Thursday 13, about "you know you have a large family when." I would link here, if you wanted to read hers, but I am not sure if it's okay and then I would have to figure out how. Anyway... I thought I would add a few of my own, because they always make me laugh, and they are soooo true.

1.)You think a sale on name brand good baby wipes is the jackpot, and you buy 85 boxes of them!! People thought I was running a daycare or something!

2.)I don't know if this is a positive or not, but I have to think of my children in order...like if I am being asked when so and so's birthday is, I have to run down the list--in order--mentally, before I can figure it out.

3.)If you skip laundry for even a week, your stuck doing it ALL DAY long! LOL.

4.)You can go to the grocery store, and buy 2 loaves of bread, 2 gallons of milk, 2 boxes of cereal, and some fruit, and it is only intended for 1 meal!!

5.)You go shopping for furniture and you are forced to figure out how to buy extra pieces of them, that match, because you have many bottoms that need to sit on them. We have 2 couches, 1 loveseat, 1 recliner, and 1 chaise lounge. That's still not enough some days.

6.)When it takes close to 100.00 to fill your gas tank..."nuff said?

7.)When you actually needed 2 cribs at one time, for different aged children.

8.)When you find a good deal on sale, and buy tons because you know many people will be using it. Yes, this kind of goes along with the baby wipes, but they really aren't fun. I am talking about legos, and cars, and paper. Woo Boy...we go through the paper in our house. I just recently bought these huge paper bundles and only had to pay 10.00 or so...shipped. BARGAIN!!

9.)You have been known to combine childrens birthday parties. They may or may not get their own cakes if they aren't old enough to know....but when you only have so much time?? They do get separate presents (except that one time all the little boys were the same age range...) but they did get to open their own gifts.

10.)And the finale? When you notice people counting your children. Also, if they are wrong, you feel the compelling need to correct them. Much to their astonishment. (this is hubby's pastime)
