Jon and Kate Plus Eight - Page 5

I know - but I think it is totally understandable. I get terribly frustrated when traveling by air even when I don't have kids - never mind 8 of them - and I have a delay. Add the kids, lacks of sleep, and frustration together and I'm not a bit surprised. I'd cry, too! (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 loved the edible PlayDough recipe! I want to make it for the kids I babysit.

I thought it sounded great as well- but my oldest hates peanut butter. I wonder if it would work with almond butter?

Here is the link to some recipes which do not use peanut butter

I was a little surprised that the Gosselins are looking to move again, considering they just moved into their current house not too long ago. But when you think about it, it does make sense. Those kids are growing fast, and their house won't be able to handle it! Hopefully they'll get the acres they've been dreaming of.

They had the Early Years marathon last night, and it was neat seeing the 6 pack as tiny babies again.

I saw like 20min of it last night and it was cool to see them older and talking more. Very cute kids.

I noticed that they have a book that you can now pre-order on Amazon (use the greek chat link if you want it

). I will probably wait and check it out from the library though.

I never thought you'd be able to tell the sextuplets apart, but as they've gotten older, you can totally see exactly what Jon and Kate have been talking about!

I like how they're taking the kids out one at a time. They know it's important for each child to have individualized attention and it's neat to see the different personalities and different interests.

Leah's still my favorite. 'Cause she's little!

Hahaha...Leah's my favorite of the sextuplets as well. I think Aaden is adorable as well, especially when he pretends to be an animal...lol.

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.
