The Things I Do

to love
and feed
and support
and nurture
the heart's
and {ever-growing} bodies
of these 7 boys.

I buy milk 3 gallons at a time.
I buy deodorant by the case.
I cook pancakes 12 at a time on two griddles simultaneously.
I make and bake two full sheets of biscuits.
{and by "make" I of course mean...remove them from their packaging and place them on the cookie sheet.....which is how normal people make biscuits. Duh.}
I double every dinner recipe.
I drive a car that perpetually smells like baseball equipment and sweat.
I sweep infield dirt off of my hardwood floors daily.
I have fully educated myself on all things athletic cup related.

And now

now this:



Welcome to March Madness
Martin family style. 

This would be our living room.


And that would be a ginormous basketball bracket. 

And you betcha,
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Game on.

  3. Well, I have to admit, we're not into March Madness too much, but I now HAVE to get a 2nd pancake griddle! :) That would make things a bit easier around here. LOL!

  8. I could relate to all of what you said. I too, have now graduated from making pancakes in a frying pan to 2 frying pans, to a griddle, to a griddle and 2 frying pans! Even though I only have four boys (and three girls), the smell in the van sounds familiar too! Have fun with the March Madness!!!
