You know you're a large family when...

*I had fun with this while waiting for the children to come out of Hollywood with some videos for tonight. Always TOUGH to pick movies that will span the interests of 1 - 21. LOL


You know you're a large family when.....

Your spare room is turned into a pantry.

Your pantry rivals the shelves of a convenience store.

You can play baseball or basketball as a family.

Family movie night consists of a cartoon, a chick flick, and a war documentary.

It takes 4 "family size" packs of an entree to make 1 side dish for dinner (i.e. jello, scalloped potatoes, macaroni and cheese).

The line outside your bathroom rivals the gas lines of the early 1980's.

Visiting friends ask you how many people you are having to dinner while you cook a quick family meal.

Your dishwasher and washing machine never stop running.

Appliances and utensils with "life-time warranty" consistently last 2 - 5 years in your household.

Every family outing qualifies for a group discount rate.

People routinely count aloud as you walk past, and you consider this a normal occurrence.

Restaurants add a 15% gratuity to your dinner.

You need two family size meat entrees for one dinner.

You consider a mini van to be a "sports car".

Game evening consists of dino bingo, RISK and charades.

Very few people question your home school children's need for socialization.

Only one of your children have ever had their own bedrooms...and they were too young to remember.

You have over 100 pairs of socks in your home.

Shopping for new clothes signifies digging in the storage boxes for the next size.

You always buy "classics" and never "fads" so they'll be in style when the 1 year old needs them - 20 years from now.

Your youth will NOT go on the every 6 month underwear shopping trip...claiming all stare when you pull up to the check stand with two carts of socks and undies.

People routinely question your knowledge of elementary biology.
