(That's one reason I swear I would rather drive my 4 kids places - at least I can pull over when I want, go when I want - I have some control.)

I don't blame Kate for breaking down. I was surprised that it took 10 hours and 1 missed approach for it to happen. I liked how she said that a lot of people think they're crazy for taking a vacation like that with the kids, but she's right -- why deny the kids this experience when they're given this great opportunity? And did you see the guy sitting in the last row? I wonder what his Southwest experience was like that day! The kids must have enjoyed riding the "hair pain"!

I also liked how Kate precautionary measures in protecting the 6 pack -- taking black tape to cover their first names on their backpacks. It's a scary thought thinking strangers could lure the babies like that.

And poor Alexis! I didn't know she slept in the basement away from everyone because she wakes up the other kids.

I didn't sleep in my own room in my own bed until I was 5, I think. At least the basement at night isn't too scary for her!

The e-mail episode was also funny. It's nice how Jon and Kate can be so open and candid like that. "Our children DO sleep!" I mean, can you imagine the Duggars talking about how they make time for intimacy?

I loved Kate's reaction to the question!

Anyone watch last night? I finally saw the "interview corner" in the basement (during the scavenger hunt). And I loved how Alexis got so excited over the aligator in her Valentine;s Day bag.

I was reading on another message board that yesterday (5/10) was the sextuplets' 4th Birthday! Happy Birthday Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel! To think, we first saw them when they first started walking.

Am enjoying the TLC marathon right now!

I missed it myself - but Jon, Kate and family were on the Today Show this morning!

Jon Gosselin has eight reasons to feel blessed, not just on Father’s Day, but every day. “Every day I thank god I have healthy kids,” said the father of twins and sextuplets whose family is the star of the TLC series “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” The show is the most-watched on TLC, and kicks off its fourth season with a one-hour special next Monday, June 16.

I found the full story here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25106856/ with the video.

OMG Natalie Morales (or whatever her name was) was annoying! She obviously hasn't watched the show, I couldn't stand that she kept mispronouncing Leah's name. She kept saying "lay-a" instead of "lee-ah"

I don't know if it was ever posted in this thread but the Gosselin's website is

I just heard about this show. We'll have to see it--I remember seeing the show on Discovery (?) years ago where Kate got plastic surgery to get rid of her post-baby belly. It looked like Squidward's nose!

But lol at you guys who are wondering how you take 8 little ones to WDW. Hey, we've done it with our 13 and no help from cameramen! You just do what you have to.

We were featured on CNN once and had to deal with some stalkerish people. Based on that, I'm don't think I'd want a show, website, or message board!

Big family life is a whole different ball game. You definitely have to make the kids your life for them to turn out well-adjusted.

My wife loves this show - it seems like it has been on more regularly. It used to be that she was only watching it Monday nights when I got home, but it seems like every night I come home to find her watching an episode.

Why did so many people say that Kate and John live in a "mansion"? Their house is far from a mansion. It's not even a McMansion.

Joel's the one that likes his mom's "pretty toes", right?

I could have sworn that was Collin...I can't remember.

J&K like to say that Joel's into fashion and hair like Daddy. I don't know if it's possible to get that "vibe" from a 4 year old, but that's what I get!

SoCalGirl · #13 06-20-2008, 09:35 PM

I get the vibe from both Joel and Collin. That's part of the reason I have trouble keeping them straight. No pun intended.

My roommate and I love this show! I hope it continues on for as long as the Gosselins and TLC will allow!

You know, I wondered that too...but for some reason I can see him as a future linebacker.
