Top five ways you know you have a lot of kids...

• You can't stay in a hotel room as a family as you will exceed fire safety code standards...

• The grocery clerk smiles at your two carts every week and says, "Once a month shopping?" and you sadly shake your head "no"...

• Delivery people ask you if you run a daycare...

• You consider close supervision doing a headcount every fifteen minutes or so...

• Last, but not least, you are seriously considering buying a small school bus for daily transportation...

These are all real examples of my life with five children under the age of eight...hope you get a kick out of them!
