the top ten crazy things you'll find at the Ours house


1. There will always be a crazy amount of vehicles in the driveway, even when nobody's home. (i did have an example picture, but it got lost along with my computer. *sadness*)


2. A birthday will be celebrated to the fullest capacity of celebration, and it's just not a birthday if you don't get sung Happy Birthday in English and in Chinese with a grand finale of George Washington's Bridge -- all sung completely off tune. If George Washington's Bridge even has a tune.



3. Rolling on the floor in laughter is a quite normal sight, especially in the most serious moments.





4. At 4am, it is a rather usual thing for about 5 rowdy boys(half of whom nobody has seen until that night) to be playing x-box, a few more random kids playing Scattergories and dying laughing over Pringles and Jones soda, someone changing over the washer and dryer, and yet another person practicing the piano for all she's worth, while several more people are trying to sleep.



5. If you're really super loved, then expect to have a song written about you and sung repeatedly over the washing of dishes.



6. The language spoken there is almost entirely made up of movie/tv show quotes, book quotes, and song lyrics.



7. Sword fights, archery challenges, brawls on the floor, boxing at 1am, and the yelling of "FOR NARNIA!!!!" while running down the stairs are all common occurrences.



8. If it's been a bad day, there's ice cream. If it's been a good day, there's ice cream. That simple.


9. Peanut butter granola is a staple. It pretty much needs to be replenished every other day.



10. Everybody has a nickname. It is expected to be called Hangnail, Tunes, Jones, Moppsy Floppsy, Crispy Oats, Looney Tunes, or Joshen Floshen at any time of the day.




P.S. what are your thoughts on a name change? Do you like One of Ten and Loving It or would something else be better?

  6. This was super awesome! Number 3 occurs in our house often enough, and number 4 just made me laugh :D
    I loved the one about icecream, because my dad just said today "If we don't have icecream in this house, it's an icecream emergency. Like, drive to the store right now to get icecream kind of emergency." Haha, that one was probably my favorite XD
    I am the oldest of five, so one of the most common sites is boys in their boxers playing "war" or something like that. You will also hear incredibly loud random outbursts of singing at any and almost all times of the day, with a mix of someone trying to practice the piano, violin, or guitar. And there always seems to be some sort of huge craft or project going on. Yep, that's what happens in the Jacobs house. =D

  7. Great post!! Very funny too. ;) I personally think you should keep the same name for your blog that you already have. It's unique, and I like it. But, of course, anything you decide would be great. :)

  17. Hi, Hannah,
    My name's Joanna, and I'm from Missouri. I really enjoyed this post. There's only 4 kids in my family, but this reminds me of when we get together with my best friend's family. We're pretty loud. :) And ridiculous.
    I like your blog name, but if you were to change it, I think you should do a play on the "one in ten" phrase that people always say with stats and data and stuff. :)
