How Do You Know When You Have a Larger Than Average Family?

Every Saturday I go to Albertson's for my weekly grocery shopping trip. I usually spend Friday night planning the family menu for the week, making my grocery list and pulling out coupons from my coupon binder. This weekend was no different.
Saturday I leave Evan with Ron and take Seth and Levi to the grocery store. After two trips to the bathroom(both taken by Seth) we managed to get everything we needed and headed home.
Sunday night arrives and since it's Ron's week to make lunches and my week to make sure the boys get a bath we head off to do our parental duties. I've got Evan in the bathtub and while I'm trying to convince him for the thousandth time that I will not drown him while trying to rinse the soap from his hair I hear Ron saying something to me. After I get Evan out of the bath Ron says again, "Did you know we go through 10 slices of bread a day?" Uh....I've never really thought about it but 5 people times 2 slices of bread per sandwich...yep...10 slices per day. Half of our loaf of bread is gone in one lunch! He says, "Maybe we need to start buying two or three loaves of bread a week." And that's how you know you have a larger than average family!

Demolition & Renovations

When I was 12 years old my parents bought a house. I lived in that house until I married my wonderful husband at age 22. In 2004, when my parents moved to Texas, my family moved in. At the time we had just found out that I was pregnant with baby #2 and Seth had just turned 1.
One of the benefits of renting the house from my parents is that we get to paint and remodel rooms! With a carpenter for a husband....this is wonderful!
Our most recent endeavor is our bathroom. A few years ago my husband put this lovely blue tile in our bathroom floor. Unfortunately with potty training 3 boys this poor tile didn't stand a chance of survival. So, we decided it was time to fix it.
Last weekend I had the pleasure of getting rid of the tile on the bathroom floor and this weekend we installed the new tile. It's been a timely project (we're still waiting to grout it tonight) but it's been an interesting experience. I've learned how to use a tile saw and how to grout tile. Both of these were good experiences.
Once the renovation is complete I'll be posting pictures....
Goodbye blue tile. Thank you for your years of service!
