Yo family so big....

I haven't really considered our family to be 'big' before.

Each of our four children came along planned and I knew before I had had any children that I was on my way to four. These days families with two children seems to be the average for my friends (pppffft, amateurs) and sometimes there's a third 'mistake' :)

Lately I have been paying attention to little things indicating that maybe we are big. So how do you know if you have a big family?

When there are a family of slippers that live at your front door...

When your refrigerator is often mistaken for the supermarket milk department...

When your Medicare card is not a Medicare card. It is Medicare cards, plural! (Seriously they couldn't use a smaller font to make us fit on one card or is this some sort of sick joke they play on 'big' families?)

When there is more than just a 'his' and 'her' towel in the bathroom...

You know you have a big family when you have to complete a headcount when leaving the house and you still can't answer the question immediately when asked at a restaurant 'how many for?'. We just seem to look around at each other waiting for someone else to answer.

Now that's big! : )
