Two pounds of bacon, a loaf of bread, 10 eggs, half a package of sausage, and some cheese is what was consumed by the four humans at my house tonight for dinner.  I point out it was the humans because the three dogs had drool hanging to the floor begging and they got nothing.  How do people with lots of kids do it?  Where does this food go (ok, I know, sparing you all the graphic details)?

We get up from the table and clean the kitchen.  I give the boys each a couple of chores to do.  I continue cleaning in the kitchen by doing the daily mop of the kitchen floor when I notice the boys on the couch, in the family room.  All of 10 minutes has passed since we got up from the dinner table at this point by the way.  One kid has a box of Cheese-Its in his lap and the other had a bag of chocolate donuts, not to mention someone has poured a glass of milk and has a package of Oreo’s on the table.  Are you kidding me??

How do they not explode?  And how is this even fair?  I ate exactly 3 pieces of bacon and 2 slices of bread at dinner tonight.  Meanwhile they ate food fit for an army.  God did tell Noah in Genesis 9:3 “Everything that lives and moves will be food for you.  Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.”  I’m pretty sure that is exactly what my boys were thinking tonight, everything that moves is food for them.

I don’t ever want my kids to be hungry but at some point they will stop eating like this, right?  I know, it probably won’t happen and my grocery bills will just continue to grow with their age.

Think I will write about my crazy, Irish Setter, puppy tomorrow!  She’s been up to no good this week.
