So I asked him for his top 10 reasons why he loves having a BIG family and this is his take:
10. Can always count on them to give us a good reason to go to Confession ;)
9. Snack will bever be around long enough to go bad (specially the sweet ones).
8. You develop a world class ability to concentrate and work with screaming kids around. {he works from home & we homeschool *wow*}
7. No need to have birthday guests {though we love them over}
6. We always get first dibs on the HOV lane!
5. The guilty child always has numerous pro-bono defense attorneys! {no joke}
4. We always get our money's worth at the local buffet...not sure if they are in the red that day? lol
3. We now have the answer for every know-it-all we meet on the street {since our kids at the ripe ages of 13 and under know it all}.
2. Large families are just meer purgatory-avoidance-mechanisms!
and my beloved's number one reason:
1. We have learned to deliver the line, "no, we are not finished" perfectly!
Hop on over and be part of the fun!
