The following scenarios all happened yesterday at the gym within about 10 minutes. I took all four kids with me this time so they could play in the child center while I worked out. During the school year I only take the two younger ones, so I think I caught the regular staff off guard when I walked in with the troops.
(As we were walking in)
Nice Lady Holding Door Open For Me: Wow, you have your hands full!
Me: Yes, I do!
(As I was checking in)
Lady Behind Desk: Umm hmm, ok, are these all yours?
Me: Yes, they are! And I need to add the older two onto my membership for the summer.....
Lady Behind Desk: My, they must keep you busy!
(Checking in at Child Center)
Guy Behind Desk: Hi, who do you have with you today?
Me: All these guys (motioning towards kids)
Guy: Ok, are you their Nanny?
Me: Umm, No. They're all mine.
Guy: Really?!
Me: Yep!
Baby Center Girl: Hi Owen!
Me: Hey, how's it going?
Baby Center Girl: You have four kids?
Me: Yes, I do!
Girl: Oh wow!! They are so cute!

Ha ha! I've had that happen to me before, w/ other people's kids. :)
Did I mention I joined Lifetime last week - LOVE IT! I've had people comment about the "hands full" so many times. I think I might throw them off a little and tell them it's actually quite easy and I plan on having 4 more asap. How do you like them apples?
They are so cute! Good for you! I am thinking of starting something up now that summer is here, just trying to figure out how to do it all. SO, how do you do it all, and is it really working? Usually I start running or something for a couple of weeks, gain weight, get frustrated and quit, hate running and esercise for months, then get hopefull and try it all again.
thats funny...I think that happens to me too whenever I go out with all the kids. We should come up with some witty comment back!!
I guess it's pretty unusual to have so many kids out of Utah. Your kids are so cute! I wonder what they will say if you end up having more kids?
I guess around here the norm is over four children per family.
I still get that in Utah. I actually had that happen yesterday. Are those all yours yep, I have 4. Wow; four kids I stopped at two. Yep, I didn't! It will probally happen all summer too! I hope we all don't look as crazy and busy as people seem to think we are.
I've had the nanny thing said to me before, mostly because if anyone under the age of 30 is at some event with kids and I try to talk to them, they end up telling me that they ARE the nanny - then they ask if I am. Crazy, like 4 is soo many kids!!!!
It happens even here in Utah Valley, but don't you get tired of people feeling sorry for you, like you some how just ended up with a bunch of kids and that you didn't actually choose to have these children. Trust me having all these kids was our idea, and it is a busy but a happy exsistence.
