20 birds, 6 boys, 4 dogs, AND a husband? Whew! I definitely have to agree that you must be very patient/strong! I'd lose my mind!

Homeschooling the birds or the teenagers? For your sake I really hope it's the birds ;)

I think the birds would benefit more from homeschooling. They bascially sit in front of the computer all day and do nothing. They are supposed to be doing their assignments and meeting with their teachers. But our 16 yr old is a solitare champ. The scary thing is they are doing better than they were in "normal" school. yup we have 6 boys, 16, 14, 13, 4, 2, and 8 months old. Go me!!!!!!!! I am drowning in a testostorone swamp. Strangely enough around here our family isnt that large. I know a guy who has 12 kids. OK hes amish. No we arent trying to compete with the duggers. Yes i know where babies come from. No we werent trying for a girl. Yes im done, went to the vet and got spayed. These are the normal questions we get asked when we go into a bigger town. Oh and yes i have a BIG van.

What I'm wondering is what happened between 13 and 4 :)

Reminds me of the movie Cheaper By the Dozen. Except yours is half a dozen. But then two dozen birds...

The oldest 3 are my step boys that live with us full time. Then in between the 13 and 4 year old there was quite a few military deployments for the hubby.

Well we finally put the tree up (we as in my husband gave up on me and had it set up by the time I got home, lol). It's not decorated yet but so far Mojo seems to have no interest in it at all! He might be more curious once the decorations or on, but right now he seems to have more fun playing with his toys on his play stand!

Starting to feel a little more like Christmas :)

Has anyone wrapped their gifts yet? Seems like wrapped gifts would make great chew toys for parrots. :P
