That didn't take long, did it?
So I ended up getting caught up in this marathon of an adorable nonfic show on Discovery Health called "Jon and Kate Plus 8." It's about this family who had twin girls, decided to have another baby three years later and ended up having sextuplets, who are now three (girls are 6.5). It pretty much just follows their lives.
Jon and Kate are refreshingly normal. They get on each other's cases, they clearly adore their children but aren't sappy about it, they work as a team but also butt heads, their house is normal-sized and they don't have boatloads of donations/volunteers, the place is normally pretty tidy (they have a once-per-month cleaning woman, but that's it). Kate's a bit of a control freak, Jon is a bit henpecked, but nothing melodramatic.
Their children are beyond adorable. They seem pretty well-behaved, albeit with the predictable amount of meltdowns you'd expect with eight kids. The older twin girls are especially cool. They pitch in and help out sometimes, step in and defuse fights among the babies, although Mom and Dad don't seem to expect this, they're grateful.
And there'll be stuff like little Alexis putting Aaden's glasses on his little face for him after the nap and patting his shoulder when she's done. I could die from cute.
And then Dexter, which is what I actually sat down to watch, which was brilliant as usual and OMG and everything.
