Add it up.

Numbers aren’t actually my “thing”.

(Isn’t that a super silly phrase?  My “thing”?  I hereby promise to never use that phrase again. Until the next time when I forget and use it anyway.)

But numbers reveal a lot in our house.

I bet they do in yours too.

So.  Let’s play a game.

I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.  (Numbers, of course.)

On average, mind you.

4 gallons of milk per week.

Toilet paper rolls – at least 3 each week.

Cups of oatmeal to feed this gang breakfast – 5.

96 eggs (or more) consumed each month.

7 beds to make (or remain unmade) each morning.  (Mosely and London still insist on sharing a bed.)

4 unicorns that Piper has been carrying around since her birthday.

Blueberry muffins my nearly weekly double batch produces – 30.

Times the dishwasher is run in one month – 36.

4 – cats that have lived at our home and then disappeared in the past several years.

Children remaining in diapers at our home – 1.

17 – wooden pencils Ringo has annihilated in the last week.

14 – Honey Crisp apples sitting in a bowl on our kitchen table.

Spankings Berg received yesterday – 2.

3 – times I changed Otto Fox’s clothing Monday.

Irreparably stained t-shirts I pulled from the kids’ closets this week – 8.

Your turn.

    Do they have to be the same things? I'm gonna go with no, 'cause I also know that rules for rules' sake isn't really your thing either. I need a day or two to compile my list. Stay tuned.
