Statistics

No, I am not taking a stats class, but I have been thinking about things we have bought this past month with a family of 5, and it seriously is crazy to me. I was telling Chad, and he couldn't believe it so I thought this might be something I might want to remember especially when our family becomes a family of 6 very soon.

Over the past month I have bought:
*10 new pairs of shoes - Owen seriously had size 8 tennis shoes that I just got after Christmas. He kept telling me he needed new ones, and once his finally didn't velcro anymore I agreeded. He went to a size 11. Oops, I guess they were to small. I suppose the church shoes we bought around the same time will be to small soon.
*5 different kinds of paint, plus my sister-in-law gave us a can for Claire's room. I get a little paint happy sometimes - I actually just scrubbed the walls in the hallway and decided that they needed a fresh coat. Then of course the boys cannot go into Claire's purple room, so it needed to be painted blue, and the baby cannot have a blue wall in her room - you get the picture. Hopefully it will all be finished by the time the baby comes.
*We have filled 5 different prescriptions just in the last 2 weeks.
*We have bought countless gallons of milk.
*Everyone now is all set for spring/summer - if it ever comes.
*Batteries - who knows how many.

So this might not mean much to any of you, but I just couldn't believe what new seasons bring into households with children. I remember when I got to buy myself things - that will happen again someday!!
