You know you have lots of little ones when...

it takes you a good 45 minutes to get everyone ready for the day.

your husband is at school, and the kitchen table is still full. (Notice the Lego centerpiece?  :D)


you finish off a liter of milk and a whole pan of baked oatmeal at breakfast.


it takes a good 15 minutes to get everyone ready to leave the house.


while on walks, people will stop their cars and roll down their windows in order to ask you, "are those all yours?"


while shopping for a few groceries, the Opa behind you exclaims, "where did they all come from?"



you have changed seven dirty diapers by 10am.

your baby always has someone to entertain her.



you have lots of little hands eager to help you wash the potatoes.



 your 'time-out' chair gets lots of use throughout the day.



you only buy dark furniture.



the laundry is never ending... and I mean NEVER ending! (big sigh)



your walls are decorated with paintings that some would not consider "art-worthy", but to you, they are the best paintings you've ever seen.



bath time is done in several different shifts.


it can take an hour and a half to get everyones teeth brushed, and all bathed, in pajamas, sung to, read to, prayed with and tucked-in.

you go to bed completely exhausted.

your heart is full with love.
