John and Kate plus 8....and Bre

I am completely obsessed with the TV show John and Kate plus 8. All it is, is a reality show about a young couple who has a set of twin girls, and sextuplets. It is nothing more than the camera following this couple and their children around. It is so amazing to me.
I really don't know what I find more fascinating the fact that this large family is able to function daily, or the fact that this woman had 6 babies inside her!!
I have been watching their show a lot lately. I also happen to watch it late at night. Then I start to have dreams about having babies. As soon as I wake up I tell Dave about my great dreams. He all of sudden turns sheet white and his hands get clamy. obviously he doesn't feel the need for me to be having baby dreams.
I guess I always pictured myself as a family girl. This is how I imagine my life. (insert dream sequence music)
Dave and I would have our non-conformist jobs. He would come home, vegetarian taco dinner would be ready for him. our kids would run to him and tell him all at once how their day was. He would listen to all them, them tell them how his day was. Of cours farts, and gnomes would be involved. After dinner we would make a fort in the living room and read stories. Then Dave would do what his dad use to do with him before bed. They would have to go through secret passage ways. flying like super heros around the house. After the superboys and girls are asleep I would call my bestfriends and ask if their kids are as crazy as mine. We would set up a weekend of apple picking, and carving pumpkins. Jenny's kids would of course be prim and proper. Placing each apple perfectly in their matching bags. Nik's kids will be leading the gang around climbing to the top of the trees. Kristy's kids with their glasses and polo shirts on would be telling us all the history of apple orchards. Dave and my kids of course with their socks not matching, will be telling us how bad their stomachs hurt from all the apples their have eaten off the ground.
I am smiling as I type this. I can't freakin wait.!!

Hahaha, Bre I love ya! I too am OBSESSED with Jon & Kate plus 8! Though sometimes it makes me feel bad because I see how well she deals with 8 kids and I lose it when my one kid won't stop whining for like 5 minutes! Then I feel guilty. I love your dream sequence, that sounds like it is probably pretty accurate and would be a great time!

Bre, seriously the kid dream was right on the money! My kids will most certainly be wearing glasses and polo shirts!

Miss you and love you and can't wait to see you! :-)

My kids won't have glasses. They will be bio-genetically engineered to have perfect vision, like the terminator. Also, they will hike to the orchard.

Ha Ha Bre your descriptions of our kids is hilarious! Don't forget apple fights and stealing apples on the blocked off part of the orchard. That was fun too! Jenny's kids will be pronouncing all apple names by age 3. Kristy's kids will be reading Johnny Appleseed. My kids will be throwing apples at your kids and your kids Breeze, will be getting apple tattoos with their Dad! Ha Ha. Can't wait to see you!
