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.
