You know you have a big family when...

1) adding two more kids to your house actually makes it seem easier, not harder.
2) you go through 4 or more gallons of milk a week.
3) you can't call anyone by the right name.
4) you actually try to get your 4 year old to learn to put a diaper on his little brother.
5) you have stocked two pantrys and two freezers and still feel like you are running out of food.
6) you actually can't all cuddle in your queen size bed without 2 kids sleeping at the foot of it.
7) you can only fit in a 7+ passenger car.
8) you get asked everywhere you go "are they all yours?"
9) driving to vacation actually did save you a bunch of money even though gas was $3.85 a gallon.
10) you can't stay in a hotel room anymore with out a king size bed, pull out couch and a baby bed.
11) you have to double a recipe if you want any leftovers.
12) you have a child in almost every classroom in the pre-school area at church.
13) you have to push two grocery baskets (which is impossible unless someone else is with you) in order to fit all the kids and groceries in them.
14) your kids can make up an entire band and play a concert for you whenever they are playing like they are rockstars.
15) you feel like it breaks the bank every time you go out to eat.
16) you shop only clearance racks and if it isn't a good 50% (actually more like 66%) or more, you won't even consider buying it for the most part.
17) you wash at least one load of laundry a day.
