Big family statistics

This is our family before the little one.
Our family has 80 toes, 16 hands, 8 belly buttons (with one HUGE outie :), and one ugly calendar of appointments, activities, birthdays, holidays, and other stuff on it.
We go through 8 packages of Costco toilet paper each year (love that stuff).
Our summer grocery bill is dramatically higher than during the school year.
We fill up a large Suburban, with no room to spare, except for the cargo area.
The last layer of apples in the 2nd box we've consumed in the past 3 1/2 weeks.

(Daniel can eat 6-8 in a day)
We are toast people.

I love eggs on toast, tomatoes on toast, toasted sandwiches, toast with butter, toast with butter and peanut butter, toast with jam, toast with butter and honey, and toast with tomato juice on the side. Vit-a-bee bread is best for toast. I used to love white bread for toast, but can't stand that so much anymore...it's gotta have some real oomph to it now.


Kelly had some toast a few days ago and wrote this random fact on our fridge.
"730 pieces of toast, on average, are eaten by any one person in this family a year."
This will hopefully prove to be a year's supply of peanut butter for our family.

It's about 50 jars. It was on sale, and the employees all thought I was nuts buying that much, but they know I buy everything in massive amounts when it's on sale.

Our upright freezer downstairs is always full. I especially love to fill it with bread when bread is just barely marked down at the store. I only like to buy the healthier, heavier loaves. They freeze well and are eaten so fast when thawed, they don't have time to go bad!
