The Trappings of a Big Family

According to one of the blogs I read frequently (http://largerfamilies.blogspot.com), if you have three or more children, you are considered to have a "larger family". Since we are now waiting for our fourth child, we officially have a Larger Family (hooray!). And so, today, Al went to Best Buy and bought us a Big Freezer. To hold all the pizzas and chicken nuggets and soups and stews and spaghetti sauces that we need in the course of a couple of weeks. And all the other stuff that I have been stocking up on so I don't have to go to each of three different stores twice a week. Definitely a new way of doing things for this Only Child! Our beautiful new appliance sits in the new laundry/mud room for easy access. It was a floor model with a little ding toward the back, so Al got them to take $100 off the price and throw in a $40 gift card (to use for Christmas)! My hero! So drop on by for dinner any time - I'll be prepared!

I am so jealous!!!!! My mom actually has another refrig in her garage and I'd love one. We go through so much milk, juice, etc that it would be great. Also works great for leftovers around the holidays. Ahhhh how lucky we are that we need another place to store all our food! Amy
