Oh my goodness! I love this!
Very convicting about the television. My husband grew up without one and every once in a while we put ours away but it always seems to come back out again. Maybe we should just get rid of it once and for all…
Thank you for sharing your fun stats.

How fun! I so enjoyed reading these! It is so fun to get to know another large family and what they do! ๐
I have hazel eyes too! That is a lot of potatoes! I buy 20 pounds for the whole week! There are only four months in the year that we don’t have birthdays either! ๐
Your dishwasher sounds like ours. We had to buy new ones about every 2 years too. And vacuums. We have had to buy quite a few vacuums because we just use ours too much!
Man! it was so fun to read about you and yours! Thanks for sharing!
Prayers and Blessings,
Miss Amanda

Ahhh… that makes sense now. Our dishwasher has gone through 2 motors in 4 years. Currently we are doing them by hand until we save enough for another motor. But I’ve got a small family… only 5 kids. LOL I run it twice a day. My repair man said, “Well — you know… some families only run it twice a week.” HA HA HAAa.. really?
So — do you have a place where you buy your socks in bulk? I’ve taken to buying them at COSTCO… less expensive than Wal-Mart.
Ruth
I don’t buy in bulk, actually. My older men folk here prefer to each have their own style/color so as to discern between them. I suggested that we just buy one size and one color and just share around, but that was nixed.
We buy socks for everyone else and immediately write their initial on the bottom with an indelible marker.

I have 3 boys… so I put 1 dot on the first, 2 dots on the 2nd and 3 dots on the third’s “things” to keep them straight. LOL When they pass stuff down, I can just add 1 more dot and it’s theirs.
Ruth
You actually hand things down from boy to boy? I’m impressed!
I’ve heard of that system before. Makes it nice for young ones to sort the laundry.
Fran
WOW!! There is stuff here that even I didn’t know, and I’m family LOL.
This has been a great place to visit.

Large family from Arkansas (not the douggars)
From: Jane Ann, the mom of large family from Arkansas. I enjoyed your children’s videos and the statistics of a large family, we have nine, and none are twins. I understand food supply and toilet paper are necessities!
Family of Seven
WOW! I thought our family used a lot of eggs, potatoes and milk…we go through about 10 gallons of milk a week, and that’s with only allowing them to have milk with 1 meal a day…and we do go through about 2-3 boxes of cereal at breakfast.
