Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

This may be a repeat, but I saw this list of Ten Great Reasons to Have Another Child in a blog I visit:

Ten Great Reasons to Have Another Child

I think I've read this before, but it encouraged me after having two days of "outings" where I got plenty of rude comments and unfortunately less than stellar behavior on the part of my kids.

I'm thinking of printing this out and handing it to anyone who dares give me the standard "Don't you know what causes that?", "Better you than me," and "Ugh four girls!" lines. I'll just keep a bunch folded in the pocket of my diaper bag...I'll need a huge stack...

I reckon there is a very good eleventh reason:
Because children are funny.
Just think back on this week alone. You are bound to have been forced to smile by at least one child's antics. The more children results in the greater chance of one of them being really funny.
I add plenty of examples of this on our blog so we can share these momemts with those who would otherwise not realise the joys of family life.
