You might know you're a BIG family when.....

#1 You go to the Laundromat and fill every washer up- and then wait for them to finish so you can throw a few extra loads in.

#2 Someone in Wal-mart says, "My, are these all yours?" and three of your children are off with Daddy for the day.

#3 People stand and stare and count on one hand....and then use the other hand as well.

#4 The 'family sized' car/van is entirely too small.

#5 When the average number of socks and BDU's in the dirty laundry pile is 964!

#6 When at a restaurant they ask if it's "For 3 different checks"

#7 When people ask if you are running a day care.

#8 When you actually have enough people for a softball game without inviting your friends over.

#9 You laugh at economy sized boxes.

#10 Your children think that all families get a new baby every year or so...

#11 Your family van is an airport shuttle.

#12 One room is no longer an option at hotels.

#13 You think that "Matched socks" means two socks that are the same size.

#14 You see a mom with three kids and wonder what she does with all of her spare time.

Compliments of the NATHHAN NEWs Homeschooling catalogue.

How funny! You know, to me, having a big family is normal!!! Anything small is very strange indeed.
Oh yes, matched socks ARE two the same size... Forget matching the colors! Also I've decided that boys' shoes eat socks. :)

Thats so funny! And so true, most of it any way! although our number of BDU's has droped a lot since all the boys moved out. :)

Did you know that one time at the Arport someone ask Mary and Jeff if all of these kids belonged to them, (refering Frank, Roy, Jane, Diane Ruth, and I. LOL! :)

Hehe. Well most of those do apply to us peoples. Never have had a waitress ask us if it is for three different checks before.

Happy Holidays (I had a friend that said that he heard sombody say "Every time somone says Happy Holidays somwhere an elf dies.) Ok so I don't believe that but it was rather amusing:)
