I'm so glad someone started a thread for this show! I love it!

They're probably my favorite "multiple family" just because they strike me as very normal people. I also like that they make an effort to take their kids to do all the normal kid trips like Disney, even if it drives them all nuts in the process!

I agree with whomever said that their kids will grow up to be very good looking.

I'm not sure. A couple of weeks ago they aired an episode of clips that never aired and Kate was talking about how interesting it is to go back and watch the film because she sees things then that she didn't as they were actually happening. They showed two of the boys beating each other with blocks and she made a comment about how the camera guy didn't tell her.

I did think it was amusing in the episode where they went to see the Sequoias (sp?) when Jon asked Jen to do something and Kate yelled at him, "You're supposed to pretend they're not there!"

yeah, but then they showed the clip of Kate throwing the dirty diaper at Jen and then the clips of the kids checking out all of the equipment. So I have to think they are somewhat communicative.

Plus, if someone tried to kidnap one of the kids or if one of the kids wandered off, I have to believe that the camera or sound person would do something.

When they arrived at the motel during their road trip to WDW, they acknowledged the crew's help in watching the kids. Kate was in the motel room getting the kids ready for bed and Jon had to carry each sleeping kid to the rooms, so the crew had to watch over the kids in the van.

I think they try their best not to be involved, but if the kids are in obvious danger, they'll intervene if Jon and Kate aren't around. That's just natural instinct.

That crew must be deaf by now.

LOL. Reminds me of the one where they go to the dentist all of them do fine until the last one (Alexis maybe?) and she just loses it and Kate talks about her ear-spliting shreaking.

And I love how the kids have kind-of paired up with a buddy, however whenever they mention the kids going to prom with each other, it does seem a little ooky to me!

I know that for some schools it is becoming more common to go to prom with your friends rather than the big, romantic couples thing it was back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was in high school. I much prefer the newer approach!

I love this show!!

I just like that Jon and Kate really seem like normal people, they get irritated with each other and snip at each other and the kids, they don't try to make things look perfect for the cameras. Some of those women in the 16+ kids-type-shows just seem unrealistically calm and placid (possibly heavily medicated?). And Jon just always looks... tired. God love 'im.

I grew up near them... my sister has seen their van driving around town.

The kids are looking a lot more "white" as they grow up.

I love Alexis & Leah. They're the cutest!
And Mady & Cara are such amazing big sisters. Like.. even my bf was impressed. (yes i made him watch)

xoheatherxo · #11 01-30-2008, 02:37 AM

ive been watching this show since it first aired (im a sucker for reality tv!) and i love it! i dont know how they do it with 8 kids! i know people that cant even handle one! i hope they keep doing this show or at least do updates for when the sextuplets start school. or do an update show when they start driving (yah i know thats a long time away). can you imagine having to share a car with 5 siblings the same age as you? or when they start dating...i wouldnt want to bring home a date in that house!!! i hope that they keep this show around for a long time!

I saw it! And ditto for the tumble bus. What a cool idea!

I also think it's so cute and funny that Jon picks out Kate's clothes.

I know, right? I find it SO ironic that he's the fashionista in the relationship, especially after watching Kate go apeshit if her kids wear the wrong sandals...or their jackets aren't red, white, and blue (the 4th of July episode), etc. etc.

It's amazing to see how grown up the twins are now. I remember their first special and they were only 5, I think. Now they're getting phone calls from friends at home! Oh my!

The best part of the episode? Colin asking Carla's daughter "will you kiss my hiney?"

And yeah...I want my own tumblebus!

Can't wait for next week and see their home movies and behind the scenes stuff...

The kiss my hiney part was great!
and the twins really are growing up- I remember Jon talking about having 2 6year olds and 6 two year olds and how he loved telling people that becuase they always looked confused.

How old are the 6pack- I remember their 3rd birthday but I'm not sure when they turn 4?

The sextuplets will be 4 in MAY. I think it's early May because I know Mother's Day is right after. In Kate's Mother's Day episode earlier, the house was still filled with balloons from their carnival party. The twins' birthday is in October (as they had on the show) so at least they have a 5 month break between birthdays! Can you imagine having all those birthdays near each other?
