You know you are a large family when …

• People mistake your oldest daughter as the mother when they don’t see you.
• Changing diapers, baths and clothes is like an assembly line.
• The family quits drawing names for Christmas because your family ends up doing everyone elses’ family and some of your own.
• You dream of a minivan as being an economical run-around car.
• Ten pounds of potatoes isn’t enough for a meal.
• At the grocery store, people think your pile of groceries are for a month, when in fact, they are for 3 days.
• No one will let you rent from them.
• You go through 25 pounds of flour each week.
• You go somewhere with half the kids and folks still think you have a large family.
• Your younger children have never been to a restaurant $$$
• Your soup pots resembles vats.
• You don’t take samples at Costco, because you’d clean them out.
• The whole family can’t participate in a board game because it calls for “between 4-6 players”.
• You take up an entire pew…and then another.
• You have to double a cookie recipe just so everyone can have 2 cookies.
• A casserole takes 3 lasagna pans for one meal.
• You teach the lactation specialist and midwife a thing or two.
• When you need to buy the family flu medicine, by the time the family is over it, you’ve spent $100!
• Illnesses go through the family and take 3 months to complete the circle
