Grocery shopping for a small army isn't easy when you're on a tight budget. However, thrifty Kate has now mastered this task, and we get to see how she does it. Then, we watch as Jon and Kate navigate through a crowded toy store with 8 unhappy kids.

Jon and Kate rarely get time to themselves but Jon's big 30 is looming and Kate is determined that it will be something special. She is planning a surprise dinner where she will announce his fabulous gift - a trip to the Florida Keys!

Mother's Day is here which means that Jon and the kids work together to give Kate a much deserved break. Kate's pampering continues with a pedicure at the spa.

With all eight kids in tow, Jon and Kate visit the local amusement park, Dutch Wonderland. The sextuplets experience their first ride and learn that roller coasters may not be everyone's taste.

Major drama is expected when all the Gosselin kids spend the afternoon getting their teeth examined. The sextuplets react incredibly well until the bravest of the group has a total melt down.

July 4th is the Gosselins' favorite summer holiday so they all go to a local parade, followed by a picnic lunch and finally some time in the pool. This day should be packed with fun.

When Jon has to work late and cancel his weekend guys' trip to the country, the Gosselins rally the kids for a fun alternate plan, a day at Chocolate World should be a riot for the kids, but how will Jon and Kate control a sugar saturated brood?

We know the Gosselins like to buy things in bulk, so it makes sense that when they want to buy beef, they go buy half a cow! Jon and Kate take the kids to Natural Acres, a nearby organic farm.

Kate is getting the chance to meet Green Living Expert, Sara Snow, the host of Discovery Health's "Get Fresh with Sara Snow." With her help, the Gosselin family will be able to limit their energy consumption, eat better, and live healthier!

The Gosselins have outgrown their house, so it's time to renovate! They convert their attic into a new bedroom for the twins and separate the girls from the boys. How will they do being separated for the first time?

In the second part of the Gosselins house renovation, Jon puts the completed touches on the twins' new room and the sextuplets' new beds. How will they do being separated for the first time, and how will they adjust to their new accommodations?

The Gosselins take a trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo for the day, where they get a special behind the scenes tour of the exhibits. They entire family is amazed that they have the rare opportunity to feed giraffes, pet a penguin, and hug an alligator.

Now that the twins have started first grade, Kate is home alone all day with just the sextuplets. A glimpse of their daily routine makes it clear that there's no such thing as a boring day in the Gosselin house.

While the twins are in school, Jon & Kate prepare for the girls' seventh birthday party, including a special dinner out and family celebration at home. Watch as they manage the stress of catering to two unique personalities on their shared birthday.

Kate begins looking for a well-qualified nanny to take care of her 3 year old sextuplets and 7-year-old twins. While Jon stays home with all the kids, Kate hopes that after a day of interviewing she will be able to find the perfect nanny.

With winter approaching, Kate struggles to find room in the house for the kids to play. After a well thought out shopping trip and some help from handyman Jon, Kate re-organizes the entire house to give the kids more space to play.
