I can't wait to add to this hilarious list as they happen. Because this is my real life.

If you have any to add, please share!!

You know you have a lot of kids when you can not participate in car pool or take any friends anywhere because your Suburban is full of installed car seats with children strapped in.

You know you have a lot of kids when it is best for you to grocery shop at a restaurant depot. Y'all. I'm not even talking Costco. An actual place where restaurants buy their food in bulk. (Seriously-price per frozen waffle is the best!)

You know you have a lot of kids when you make toast for breakfast and it uses an entire loaf.

You know you have a lot of kids when you have too much laundry to have one laundry day. Like you could sit at your washer and dryer all day long and still not get it done.

You know you have a lot of kids when you visit a zoo or museum once and it is more cost efficient to buy an annual membership. So you do - even if it is in another city.

You know you have a lot of kids when you walk into a restaurant on kids eat free night and the workers roll their eyes because they know they are losing so much money on you.

You know you have a lot of kids when the fewest number of people who share a room is 2. Ever. Until someone goes to college.

Please don't mention college. Or cars. Of weddings.

You know you have a lot of kids when you consider getting two babysitters instead of one. 

You know you have a lot of kids when you make two pans of food for dinner and there are no leftovers. (Oh I can't imagine when these kids get older how I will keep them fed....)

You know you have a lot of kids when multiple children are due for check ups but you can't take them all at the same time because you have more than the office limit of family visits at one time. 

You know you have a lot of kids when you are introducing your family and the single most popular FIRST comment is, "You have your hands full!"

You know you have a lot of kids when you wish you would have taken some notes from the Duggars from "19 Kids and Counting" because that mama knows some things! - Blair

You know you have a lot of kids when you realize you really only need one more family your size to qualify for "group rates" on tickets. 

You know you have a lot of kids when you think about the future and notice if all your children follow in your footsteps you could have over TWO DOZEN grandchildren. Ay yi yi.
