Larger Families Chatter ~ May 2008-May 2009

Purplemamma - that is awesome! We had Professor Cohen, he got us booked in as soon as he saw Veygas, and cancelled all of his appointments the following day to do the surgery. As much as I hate hospitals, I found them to be really good down there. I'll be thinking of you & your family, I know how hard it is a) having surgery down on little kids and b) having to be away from your (large) family to have it done. How long will you be there for?

halltribe - we are on hols next week for 2 weeks. Probably won't do anything as DP will still be working, but me & the kids are trying to organise some days out with friends (picnics, park etc) Hope the wether holds up!

Squidgirl - welcome aboard

Welcome nack you MIA's... anyone else out there????

I have just had my stepson arrive from NZ today (he's 19) to stay with us indefinitly so that takes us up to 8 kids at home now. I want to put up a NO VACANY sign up our house is bursting at the seams.

How big are your houses and how do you fit all the kids in? I have a 4 bedroom house withthe baby in with us then the 2 girls together, the 2,4 and 8 yo boys together and then the 19 and 15 yo sharing. We have 3 sets of king single bunks, 1 single bed and a cot. Don't know where I will put baby when he needs a bed!!! I guess we will have to keep stacking them! No one gets their own room and even I have to share ...I suppose that is why we keep on having more kids!
