My best friend Kathi and her 4 gorgeous girls came to town and she needed to leave super early in the AM to run an errand. Kath left before the kids woke-up and for only 3-4 hours or so Ben and I had 7 kids. Aubrey was so excited to have her 4 girlfriends over and they were rolling her highchair back and forth arguing as to whom got to sit by her. Ben was on his normal Saturday AM pancake making duty. He usually makes the whole box and we use them throughout the week, but this day we had enough mouths for almost all of them. As I was running around with my head cut off buttering, pouring syrup and cutting pancakes and passing out juice. Ben was just flipping flapjacks and decided to make the comment, "See we can handle 7 kids." Is he crazy???????? Granted this was an extreme example of one 6 year old, a 5 year old, twin 3 1/2 year olds, twin 3 year olds and a 1 year old. But I still think that if they cannot fit in one mini-van and then it is probably over my limit :) Test Run was successful, but not a permanent plan of action.

I think it's cute that Ben thinks you can handle seven. He just merrily flips his pancakes on Saturday morning while you wrangle them for the rest of the 6.8 days of the week. "You can't take three kids into McDonald's," comes to mind...Good logic on the mini-van theory.
