Oh my gosh!!! I'm a huuuuge procrastinator. You know why? I realized that I'm 37 weeks so I need to buy a stroller, car seat, outfits, and diapers and asap. So you know what I did? I ordered it all (except the outfits) within 5 minutes on Amazon. AND THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE. Bam!!! We only purchase a certain kind of diapers, car seats, and stroller. We always buy a new stroller with each baby because we use and abuse the previous one sooooo much. This family is so darn adventurous! We seriously wear out the stroller so much it's good just for donating and that's it. Not even a resale.
So I was talking with my family about a good day to be born on. I told them as long as it's not on a prime number day or an odd number. My exception would be the 25th as far as being an odd number (clearly not a prime number). Did I ever tell you I have a thing with numbers? I don't want to end up with an odd number of kids. This complicates things for me because I think eight kids is a great and fun amount. However, I don't feel done. So, if I have another one, I'm just gonna have to make it 10 so we don't land on nine! Who knows though because no matter what, God is in control. At least 9 is not a prime number. Ha! (Such a nerd). By the way, 16 is my favorite number. :D No, I'm not gonna have 16 kids! Ha ha!

| Macaroni for 60! Eek! |
I've been getting way behind on housework lately. Sometimes I just spend so much time with the kids and I neglect it. My husband keeps reminding me to stop being a robot and have more fun. He doesn't like to see me cleaning all the time. However, larger families do come with more cleanup. Even though we do chore time, my work load like meal times and laundry is naturally heavier. Holy cow, but not like the other night when I had to make my homemade macaroni for the Ronald McDonald house for sick kids!!! I had to take the recipe from 4 servings to 60. So instead of measuring individually, I just took the 1/4 cups and 2/3 cups and times it by 15. Then I lectured the boys about why it is important to know how to multiply fractions mixed fractions. Now they get it. Next time I'm gonna have them convert it when I cook so they can see why we need it. Hands on is so much better!
Anyway, my back is burning sitting down to type this. Hi to all my blogger friends!!!

What you COULD do, is have friends over a lot. Then it's almost like you have 20 kids, but on alternate days! God bless! :)
That is so funny. I totally have a thing with numbers too. I also have eight kids and everyone already knows that if I have another one it will for sure be another two because I don't want an odd number of kids. I am glad to see I am not alone in this thinking.
That's funny. Ha! :D
We ALWAYS have extra kids over. Lol
Beautiful looking belly and what an amazing mama you are to share your homemade macaroni goodness. Inspirational!
