Have you always wondered how babies spend their time day in and day out? Check out this funny video captured by Dad, Francis Vachon of his 9-month old baby creating chaos in their dining room! Funny!
Francis edited the 4-hour long video into a two and a half minute show of his baby rolling around the dining room playing with his toys.
Ahhh, how great to be a baby with a not a care in the world eh?

Jon and Kate plus 8

I I saw this woman who had sextuplets on Oprah last week. When they told her she was pregnant with an entire litter of babies she had the only rational and sane response I’ve ever heard of – she had a mini-nervous breakdown and had to be immediately hospitalized for shock. I imagine I might have the same response. I think having one baby at a time is a lot of stress and always prayed I would not have twins to double my stress. But, sextuplets. . . reminds me of that old ‘80s song by, who?, maybe REM, I think that God’s got a sick sense of humor and when I die, I expect to find him laughing.
May I recommend a new show on the Discovery Health Channel, Jon and Kate plus 8. This seemingly normal couple got married and seemed destined for an average life, then they had twins. Okay, still pretty normal existence now that the twins are weaned and out of diapers. Then Kate, and Jon will never let her forget it, wants one more baby – a sibling for their twin girls. Jon thinks, hey two is plenty, let’s just go about our normal life. Kate insists on one more. I bought one and got five free, she says on the show.
I love this type of television because it makes me feel so abundantly blessed to not be quite so abundantly blessed.
I mean, thank you God for not blessing me with twins and sextuplets!
If any family deserves their own television show it has to be this one. They have a dry sense of humor and really, that might be the only way they will survive. It’s a really good show about their day to day existence which is now anything but ordinary. Their grocery bill at Sams was over $1,000. Think about paying that bill next time your checking out. Could you even cover that and your mortgage?
It’s great family television to watch with your kids. I seriously giggle in sympathy every time I see this family. Then I quickly want to throw salt over my shoulder and knock on some wood to somehow prevent anything similar from happening to me.
