You know you’re the 7th child when…

 

Your family takes a trip and your mom forgets to pack your clothes.

 

So, all weekend long you get to wear your jammie shirt (which your mom did remember), your sisters shorts (the ones without the pink flowers) and socks (which unfortunately do have pink but are fortunately covered up by your shoes).

In defense of your mom though…you were taking a nap while your mom packed the  bags.   And like any smart mom of multiple, small  children she values her quiet hour of sanity during nap time. So of course she would never dream of waking you up during your nap to get your clothes out of your dresser.

how funny! I once went for a weekend trip with my sister and the 4 kids and forgot to pack my OWN bag. Thankfully I had packed one set of underclothes and PJs the condo had a washing machine! Ah... the joys of motherhood LOL

Being "dressed" for the occasion is purely over rated! The occasion, joining the fun & necessary coverings is really the best!
Love you all

Can I include a picture of your girls and link to your blog on my blog? I wanted to do a post for Down syndrome awareness month on adopting a child with Ds. Will you email me and let me know if it is ok and then I just wanted to ask you a few questions. Thanks! :)
