You Know You Have a Big Family When...

• You have three times as many beds as bedrooms.
• You invite nobody over for a child's birthday dinner, and it's just as full and loud as if you had.
• You do a normal two-week's worth grocery trip to Costco, and the checker asks if you left any food in the store.
• You take only half of your children out, and after some nice woman comments on how you have your hands full, you exchange winks with your kids.
• There is no such thing as 'stocking up' on things.
• You buy all those cute dresses at the thrift store, though they're nobody's size, because somebody will wear them someday.
• You wash 20 bath towels on Monday, and your son lets you know 'we're out' by Thursday morning.
• You run to the store for toilet paper when you are down to just 4 rolls.
• Family game nights take up two dining room tables.
• You need two or three of the same forms at your pediatrician and dentist offices, just to fill out everyone's information.
• Your younger children treat their older siblings like parents.
• You really don't worry about having to live in a nursing home. Somebody will want to have us, right?
• Your children have lots of automatic best friends.
