Big House Plans

Driving home today after picking the girls up from school Kenzie said that all of our family should live in one house. I glanced back at her and asked her how big she thinks that house should be if she wants ALL of her cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and Great-Grandparents to live in. Her response was, big. I got to adding it up, and if we had all of their immediate Aunts, Uncles, cousins, Grandparents and of course us live in one house we would need at least 18 bedrooms. That would be a big house. I told her that and her response, "We'd need a lot of bathrooms then also!"   (Good to know she has her priorities down!)

So this evening she drew a few pictures of BIG houses and made sure to add at least 18 windows to the front to make sure it had 18 bedrooms. We also decided that it would need at least 3 living room/den areas, 2 kitchens, an extremely large dining room, a game room, and lots of room!! Kylie even drew a couple pictures of what she thinks the outside of that house would look like, and in all of them, the color was pink. No surprise there! It was fun looking at their drawings. I however would add to all of their ideas a large wrap around porch on the ground level, assuming it is a multi-level home, and where it stays around 60-70 degrees year round.

I got to adding it up while they were drawing their houses, and it really doesn't seem like they have that large of an extended family, but they kind of do. There is 1 Great-Grandmother, 2 Grandmothers, 3 Grandfathers, 3 Uncles, 4 Aunts, and 4 Cousins. What I love most is all the cousins, and our three are so close in age. Kenzie being the oldest and a cousin in Indy being the youngest, at least for the moment being the youngest. It's great they have such a large extended family!! Maybe one day we will build that big humongous house the girls would like to have so all the family could live together!!

Till Next Time!!!
