Numbers

I was cutting fingernails the other day and was tallying up some of the numbers of things in our home.  It kind of amazed me when I really sat down to think about it!


We have...

• Soon to be, 140 fingers in our home (goes great with my favorite saying to my children, "Many hands make light work!")
• Also soon to be 140 toes with 14 pairs of socks a day to go through (probably explains all the singles in my sock basket)
• 14 brains- you would think that would be useful, but sometimes it makes things REALLY difficult!
• 28 eyes to see EVERYTING with!
• 14 mouths- that makes things REALLY loud sometimes
• 14 tummies to feed AND that can get the stomach flu!
• 12 potty-trained people- well, most of time!
• 14 noses that need kleenex
• 28 ears to hear with- selective hearing at times!
• 2 benches, 12 chairs, 1 booster chair,1 high chair, and one 9 ft table in my dining room
• 1 couch that seats 6 adults but for now, while their buns are still little, our entire family if we need to
• 1 TV
• 9 slots for school notebooks and 9 pencil boxes
• 2 bathrooms (not enough but better than 1!)
• 1 6X9 ft backyard (I am not kidding!  Not big enough either but better than none!)
• 19 bunnies (WAY to many but better than 100!)
• 1 roll of toilet paper a day- and that's a double roll!
• 1 gallon of milk a day, 7 a week, 30 in a month!
• 3 dozen eggs for breakfast with 1 loaf of bread
• 5 loads of laundry a day to wash, fold, and put away (well, sometimes I have to put 15 loads away because I get a touch behind!)
• 3 drivers, 4 cars in our driveway
• a van that seats 15 people
• 6 carseats/booster seats to buckle
• 10 bikes in the garage
• 28 feet to go and share the gospel of Christ
• 28 hands to fold in prayer
• 14 spirits to spend eternity in heaven with each other!
