[Danielle] Last season on Outdaughtered.
[Adam] Who's ready to party?
-[screams] -One, two, three.
[Danielle] It's, like, just everybody's growing up.
[Adam] Oh, my goodness.
Definitely bringin' the sass.
Please sit down right.
[Riley speaking]
[Hazel speaking]
[Riley] I didn't.
[Danielle] Parker has always been the one
that's been a little bit more anxious,
but all of a sudden,
Ava has been showing signs
of the same anxiety.
Ava? You okay?
[Adam] Since the opening of the boutique,
my role in the house has changed quite a bite.
[whistle blowing]
[Adam] I want this house to be clean
for when Mommy comes home.
[whistle blowing]
Uh, no.
Okay, maybe.
[whistle blowing]
-[Adam] No more of that. -[Riley laughs]
[Danielle] I will be heading to Dallas for a week.
Adam gets to be the fun dad.
[Adam] What do you think
Mommy's gonna think about this?
Momma, I got pink hair.
[Parker] I got blue!
You know, you continue to pile things on,
you need to find that balance.
Hey, girls.
As hard as it is for me to not be at home,
it also is important to be growing this business
so we have to really be a team and we're not there yet.
I just don't want things on through the cracks.
I'm used to parenting...
[Danielle] I know that you know that.
-six kids, too. So, like... -[Danielle] I know.
we're good.

You all see Kiki and Uncle Dale yet?
[girls] No.
[Danielle] Let's look.
[Adam] Supposed to be in this area.
[Danielle] Keep goin' till you find 'em.
-[Hazel] Okay. -[Danielle] Go, Lulu, go.
[Hazel] I'm the queen of the world!
[laughs]
What's up, girl? How you doin'?
You ready to build some sand castles?
-[Riley] Yeah! -[Hazel] Yeah.
-[Parker] Now what? -[Riley speaking]
Gotta share, you have to share.
-Hey, hey, hey, hey. -[Adam] Hey, hey.
Hey.
Somebody's gonna chop a toe off.
[Danielle] You know what this family likes to do,
-is good competition. -[Dale] [indistinct] let's go.
-Hey, who's on my team? -[Hazel] Yeah.
Who's on my team?
-[Hazel yelling] -[Danielle] Okay.
The Busby household these days is filled
with a lot of voices, and it's nonstop.
Like, there's always multiple conversations
going on at one time,
and I know Adam is not listening to any of them.
[laughs]
[Adam] Come in here.
[Riley] More sand. More sand! I need water!
-[Crystal] Woo! -Look at Hazel!
She's tough. Show 'em!
[Adam] This is the summer where you just see,
like, how fearless they are and, like,
they just wanna do anything.
[Danielle] They encourage and push each other.
They're, like, "It's so fun, come on, do it, try it."
Yeah. We thrive on peer pressure.
[laughs]
[Danielle] There's a lot of cattiness,
a lot of bickering.
They push each other's buttons nonstop.
I'm making a point. No, I'm not.
[Hazel] Yeah.
My team was the worst because I had Kiki in it.
Kiki at least did all the work, unlike Ava.
No, she didn't!
[Dale] They're going to third grade, huh?
[Danielle] Third grade. It's, like, real school now.
So what do you got planned the rest of the summer?
Just working a lot at the store,
and it's definitely been doing more stuff at home.
[Adam] Feels like I'm a camp counselor all summer.
We got two weeks before school starts,
and so my mindset this summer
is just like full-on fun dad mode.
[Danielle] Adam's determined to, like,
not do anything responsible... [laughs]
till, like, the day school starts.
But also, the very first week of school,
I leave to go out of town for a very important market
to look at products,
everything that I wanna sell in the boutique,
so I'm really leaning on Adam to, like,
take charge that week because that's a lot.
I do have to take all the quints
to the orthodontist.
Hazel, let me see? Oh, yeah, you need 'em.
[Danielle] So Adam, are you gonna...
I mean, I may have something else
because I got a call for another job.
-Oh, really? -[Adam] Yeah.
Lately, I've been getting a lot of offers
for more photography gigs outside of the house.
But I know it would complicate our schedule
so, like, you know, I'm just kind of considering that.
But, um, you know, I'll cross that bridge
whenever we get there.
[Crystal] I think except for Blayke
and Mackenzie, you're doing good.
[Dale] It's a regular Picasso right there.
Oh, watch out.
-Oh! -[Hazel] No.
-[Danielle] Oh! -[Dale] I'm sorry...
Dude, you know I got that twitchy leg.
Really?
The best part of the beach
was building those big sand castle, um--
And then crushing them halfway through.
Yeah.
-[Danielle] No! -[Crystal] Oh, my word!
[Blayke] I'm not really a person that likes to go
to the beach, but I think building sand castles
-and stuff with my sisters. -[Riley speaking]
No, it's not.
Liar.
Are you excited about 7th grade?
No.
Are there any boys that are cute?
-[Blayke] No. -See?
-That's what I've been saying. -[Blayke speaking]
Crazy.
-Rude. -[Hazel] Cool.
-Loud. -[Riley] Never quiet.
Mm, Riley, you cannot be talking.
[laughter]
Blayke is a total tween.
I mean, her hair, like, she takes after her dad.
It is a three-hour process, it's, like, oh, my gosh.
It's never taken me that long to do my hair.
[Danielle] Oh, this is so fun to see y'all on the beach.
It's nice to get away and forget about all
the upcoming stuff we gotta do to get ready for school.
[Crystal] Yeah.
[Danielle] One of the main things that I struggle with
is control, and I've learned to let go of a lot of things,
but the closer it gets to the new schedule
of school starting, the more stressed I get
with all the things that still have to happen
before summer ends.
[Danielle] And we need to go find out
who their teachers are later this week,
so I feel the weight of the responsible things
because we're running outta time.
We still gotta do all the things and, like,
the clothes, the... Like, school supplies.
-[Dale] I'm all about... -That's good.
procrastinating and, all that.
You procrastinate everything, like, hashtag, the van.
[Adam] You know, Danielle is frustrated because, like,
there is a, uh, quite a few things
that we need to have addressed with the van.
Yeah. It's just you don't know
if it's gonna happen when it's gonna happen
or whatever, but for some reason,
the van shakes all of a sudden.
I don't even know what you call it.
It's called death wobble.
Yeah. And so why am I driving that?
[Adam] You know what? I'm gonna get it fixed,
so chillax.
[dramatic music playing]
[Adam] Are we really talking about the van right now?
It's summer.
We can talk about that later.
[upbeat music playing]

[Riley] Hey, that's one's mine!
[Danielle] Hey, y'all are some cranky girls,
you all need to go to B-E-D.
[Adam] You don't like the bread?
Mmm-hmm.
It tastes weird.
Dinner in our house has definitely gotten
very interesting these days.
You know, foods that they've always loved
and all of a sudden,
it's the most disgustus thing they've ever had.
I feel like that's the normal part.
[Hazel] No.
[Parker] Did you see that video
of the hairless cat pooping in the toilet?
And the toilet was right here, he was just standing,
and then he pooped in the toilet.
Weird stuff.
Let me see that tooth. Open.
Yup. It's coming in just like that one.
Your mouth's too small.
We'll take it to the orthodontist,
they're gonna have to widen your mouth.
I don't wanna show you a picture.
Why?
Because you're not gonna like it.
The quints' dentist recommended some of them
see the orthodontist, so I mean, here we go.
[laughs]
We haven't really had the best track record
with the quints and dentist visits.
[crying]
[woman] They're gonna brush your teeth.
-It's okay. -[Danielle] [indistinct]
-[dentist] Let's count. -[Danielle] Open.
-[dentist] Open real big... -[Danielle] Ah.
[dentist] and I'm gonna count it.
[crying]
[Danielle] Lord knows that this is gonna cost
if all the quints need braces.
Oh, it's like, "Oh, yeah, Blayke,
let's go to the orthodontist," and it's like,
and then it's the quints.
[yells]
[Adam] You're gonna be like,
"Mommy, can I have some salad?"
[laughter]
-Can I have some salad? -[Danielle] All right.
What about did you all do any reading today?
-[Riley] No. -Nope.
[Danielle] You didn't do any readin'?
-Nope. -[Ava] No.
I'm not reading.
[Danielle] Adam, you're gonna do reading tonight.
No playing around,
y'all gotta read and get to bed.
Going into third grade is, like, the start of...
I call it like the real school.
It's, like, when, like, that standardized testing
will start, and the summer has worried me a lot
because I don't want them to regress
from all that they've learned.
So the reading is, I think, very important.
They have to stay on top of their skills
that they learned because they will lose it.
[claps] All right.
Blayke, you're doing dishes.
Riley, Hazel, Ava, Lulu, Parker.
Y'all go get a book. Let's go.
[Adam] Trying to get all of them
to read at the same time
just ends up just spiraling out of control.
[Danielle] I already hear 'em dancin',
so go upstairs and get them to read.
This is Adam.
He just wants to be fun, and I love for him that.
Don't get me wrong, he is the best dad
because he's the biggest kid in the house.
But there's times where I'm like, "Hey,
momma over here is having to be the bad cop again."
[laughs]
[Olivia speaking]
[Adam] Hey, get your books.
-[Olivia] I don't wanna. -[Hazel] Where's my book?
-Momma's gonna get mad at me. -[Parker] Oh, well.
-Go find-- -[Parker] Daddy--
Where are your books?
-[Hazel] Here. -Go find your books.
-[yells] -[Adam] Ava, Ava, stop.
-[laughter] -[Adam] Good find your book.
[Hazel] Daddy.
[laughs]
-Daddy! -Oh, my word.
Adam?
[laughter]
[yelling]
[Hazel laughs]
Stop doing flips up there!
They're supposed to be reading!
So what do you think is gonna be hard in seventh grade?
[Blayke] I don't know.
I'm kind of nervous about, like, volleyball.
[Danielle] What makes you nervous?
[Blayke] Not making the team.
Well, as long as you, what?
[Blayke] Try my best.
If I don't make the team, that's gonna be
all I think about this year.
A lot of my friends are doing it,
and I wouldn't be able to be included
with what they're doing.
-[girls giggling] -[Danielle] Hey!
Jeez.
-[Riley yells] -[Hazel] Daddy, do it to me!
Not that, not that!
-[laughs] -[Hazel] Daddy, do it, Daddy!
[quirky music playing]
[yells]
-[Hazel wails and giggles] -Dude.
[Blayke] What are you all doing?
Adam. Ow!
[laughter]
[Danielle] Did you all read already?
[girls] No.
[Blayke] Guys, you all wanna bet
I can knock Riley over?
[laughter]
What was that?
[Danielle] Give me that pillow.
-[Hazel] No, get mommy. -[girl yells]
-[Danielle] Ow! -Ah!
[chuckles]
[laughter]
Adam Busby.
[laughter]
[Danielle] Oh, my gosh!
[laughter]
[Danielle] No!
Wait! Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh. This... Stop, stop, for real.
I can't tell you how often this happens.
Like, you're trying to get Adam
to do something responsible
and then it turns into this disaster.
I cannot believe...
Stop!
And yes, I'm laughing, but inside, I'm, like,
cringing because I'm like, this is so much to clean up.
And yet, they still have to read
and get ready for bed, and it's like a whole
another hour just to get the kids out the feathers.
-Stop, stop, Riley, okay? -Stop, stop, stop
making them come out more.
[Hazel] So how are we gonna clean this?
[Danielle] Exactly.
It's your job.
[Adam] I mean, I was supposed to be up there reading
but, I mean, there's five of them.
It just spiraled out of control.
[Danielle] Don't come downstairs
until all these feathers are cleaned up.
I'm going to need a glass of wine.
It's, like, I try to relax and have fun,
but then I just think of the extra layer
of work it just put on top of me.
[Riley] It's snowing!
[Danielle] I was just like, "I'm done, I'm out."
[Riley] So can we open this one, too?
No.
[Crystal] Does anybody know what is an orthodontist?
[Parker] They put braces in your teeth?
[Danielle] I'm bringing in five children
to get looked at,
and that's what stressed me out.
Thanks for helping.
Anytime.
-I love that. Oh, shoot! -[girls yelling]
Oh, my gosh!
-Is that what it does? -[Danielle] See? I told you.
Bitchin' Adam.
See what Ava's gonna read about?
Going from COVID kindergarten
to this huge school is really hard.
Some of the quints still struggle a little bit.
The...
[Danielle] I mean, we have an idea who's behind
and, like, it has taken us a long time to discover that.
And so what do we do?
-[Adam] Hmm... -[Danielle] Hmm, I don't know.
[upbeat music playing]
Does anybody know what is an orthodontist
versus the dentist?
They put braces in your teeth?
Because your teeth are crooked.
[laughs]
So we're on our way to the orthodontist,
I'm bringing in five children to get looked at,
and that's what stressed me out. [laughs]
When I got braces, I was sixth grade.
I didn't get them on till my senior year.
[Danielle] She had big rabbit teeth.
-[Crystal] Yeah. -Beaver teeth.
-[laughs] -[Crystal] Yeah.
Adam had a call scheduled for work stuff.
And so I rallied in Crystal to help me.
[Crystal] I was actually freaked out when I...
-[Danielle] Hey, Parker. -when I thought
I was gonna have to get braces,
I thought I was gonna have to get a headgears.
That was a long time ago.
[Crystal] No, they still do that.
So you might have to wear a headgear.
It's a face thing that has this metal everywhere.
[Danielle] I don't know why Crystal wants to start
throwing out all these things
that basically to scare the quints.
I'm thinking, "Shut up." [laughs]
[Parker] Mama, why is the grass
-going like this? -[Danielle] What?
It's the wind.
No, over there, Kiki. Can you see?
That's the wind blowing.
Yeah, but the grass
is coming up out of the ground.
[Crystal] The grass isn't... No, baby.
-That does not do that. -[Danielle] Yeah.
The world is ending.
The world's ending. Please don't tell me that.
Because all the parts where there's grass, it's...
There's all holes.
That doesn't mean the world's ending.
You think it's just gonna crack open like an egg?
Yeah. So we will go in this black hole.
[Riley speaking]
I am never mean.
She wants to know everything about anything.
And she already knows every answer of every question
she asks, but she likes to hear herself talk.
I love drawing.
I love playing with my friends. I watch TV.
[Blayke] You're not describing yourself.
You're saying things you like to do.
No, I'm describing myself.
It's called characteristics.
-[Blayke] Characteristics? -[Riley] Yes.
That's what I'm doing.
Characteristics.
[laughter]
[Danielle] Anyways, thanks for helping,
'cause I don't know if I could trust them
to just all sit in a lobby by themselves
-and not destroy it. -[Crystal] Yup, anytime.
-I love that. Oh, shoot! -[all screaming]
[Crystal] Oh, my God. Is that what it does?
-[Danielle] See? I told you. -Holy crap.
[Hazel screams]
[Crystal] So what do you do?
-Bitch at Adam. -[Crystal] Oh, my God.
[Danielle] But he doesn't...
he doesn't do anything about it.
And I said, "If I take this van
into the shop by myself,
I'm gonna kick him out of my bedroom."
So, I've been complaining
about the van and getting it in the shop.
-[Olivia] Ah! -Oh.
I don't want to end up broken down
on the side of the road, because who comes pick me up?
Nobody who has a big enough car. [laughs]
That is so unsafe. Like, I... You need a...
I would beat up his [bleep].
-Kiki. -Kiki!
[Ava speaking]
[Dana] Hey.
-[Danielle] Hi. -[Crystal] Hey.
[Dana] Who wants to go first?
[Danielle] Obviously, I can see how things
have changed with their bites and stuff
as they're getting older.
And so, I know I'm at least two out of five
that need some more immediate treatment.
[Dr. Scott] All right.
It's gonna go around your head, okay?
[Danielle] But, my goal today is to get
at least just one quint
that doesn't necessarily need something.
[Dr. Scott] Over here, the canines lined up
really nicely.
-Over here, not so much. -[Danielle] Yeah.
So let's look at the 3D version.
Hazel, this is, you would no skin on.
-Oh, I see. -Is that weird?
That's creepy.
[Danielle] Hazel's mouth is too narrow,
so her adult teeth can't grow in properly.
And so she needs an expander so that hopefully
the teeth will have more room to come in.
[Dana] It takes three appointments.
The first one we put some little rubber bands
between the teeth.
[Danielle] She's asking if she want to put
the rubber bands today
or do you wanna wait some time?
-That's totally up to you. -Today.
-[Danielle] Today? -[Dana] Okay.
Go have a seat in your chair over there.
[Riley] I would describe Hazel as red hair girl.
Um, she is sweet.
She's really clean.
She is?
[Dr. Scott] All right. You're gonna fill it.
Push in.
-[Riley speaking] -[chuckles]
Smile.
-Right. Yeah. Yeah. -[Danielle speaking]
She's always had that since she's been a baby.
-I do. -No, you don't.
[Dr. Scott] All righty, Ms. Olivia,
wait for all the permanent teeth
to come in and then full braces.
[Riley] Ava brushes the worst because her teeth
has brown spots on these teeth.
-[Danielle] Is it crooked? -[Dr. Scott] Yeah.
Definitely it's gonna need
orthodontic treatment for sure.
-I have an overbite, -I have an underbite.
I have over and under.
[Dr. Scott] Open as wide as you can,
45 millimeters definitely a bigger mouth, though.
Oh, I bet she has the biggest one.
[Dr. Scott] Oh, yeah. We'll see.
[Riley speaking]
It's scary. Really scary.
All right. So what's the grand total?
When they're ready.
[Danielle] When they're ready.
-Okay? -[Danielle] Okay.
-Estimate about $35,000. -Oh.
[Parker] $35,000?
That's a lot of money.
[Danielle] $35,000? That's insane.
I mean, I should've just took one.
It probably would've felt less, like, "Wow!"
-No. [laughs] -[Dana] Not today.
[Danielle] No. I know I can't do that today.
[upbeat music playing]
[chuckles]
Yeah!
Buzz?
[Adam] Mmm-hmm?
[Danielle] Come do reading time with me.
[Adam] All of them at once?
I do want the girls to be as prepared as possible
going into third grade, but it is very hard to try
to read a book with five kids all at the same time.
Parker, say cheese.
[Danielle] Who's ready to read?
[Olivia] Not me.
We're gonna work on our reading.
[Danielle] Hey, we gonna get back in school schedule.
It's hard, like, especially in our case,
because we do have quintuplets and they don't get
that one-on-one attention like Blayke did.
I would be doing it for five hours a day.
That's just not realistic.
I don't wanna read.
[Riley] Are we gonna start?
[Danielle] Okay, Parker.
[Danielle] Good job. All right, next page.
Olivia's gonna read about this.
[Danielle] Central.
-[Danielle speaking] -[Olivia speaking]
[Adam] Hazel, don't sit like that.
[Danielle] Criss-cross applesauce.
-Daddy told me to sit here. -[Adam] No.
-[Ava laughs] -Can you stop talking?
I sure can.
Okay, start over. Leopards.
[Ava] Olivia is my twin.
She's funny.
-She is... -Goofy.
That's the same thing.
She is stylish. She loves wearing makeup. Um--
She always wears makeup.
-Parker, what about you? -Hey, don't be talking.
Well, I don't wear that much makeup.
And Ava always, um,
pulls my hair
and she's very messy
and she is silly.
Uh, I'm not messy.
-[Parker] Yeah, you are. -[Olivia] Yes, you are.
You got trouble all over your face
when you have a popsicle.
Okay. Maybe with chocolate, but not messy.
[Danielle] Let's see what Ava's gonna read about.
Yeah, it's kind of hard. Break it up.
-Summer. -[Ava] Time.
-[Danielle] Mmm-hmm. -In summertime, the...
[Danielle] Sound it out.
-[Adam] L... -[Danielle] L...
You know, some of the quints just kind of still struggle a little bit.
Going from COVID kindergarten
to this huge school was really hard,
so we're still trying to figure that out.
But, you know, Ava, I think,
wants it to just be like her and mom,
because she just gets frustrated
with sisters around.
[Danielle] Stop. She's doing good.
I don't know. I'm kinda getting emotional,
but honestly, really reading just this book
about Africa, animals, and stuff,
like, I mean, we have an idea who's behind
and, like, I feel so bad
because it has taken us a long time to discover that.
But I know they can do it.
[Olivia] Can I help her?
-I know what it is. -Oh, okay. Help her.
Large...
-[Riley] Lots. -Uh-uh.
-Large. -Large.
And what does this say at the end?
Largest?
-Yup. -Yes.
-Largest? -Good job.
[chuckles]
And Olivia, she has the biggest heart
and the sweetest, like, soul
when it comes to, like, seeing someone
can't figure something out.
Like, she doesn't want anybody to, like, be behind
or suffer or not get something, she wants to help.
Let's do Hazel. Rhino.
[Hazel speaking]
[Danielle] Usually.
Be...
-[Danielle] Mmm-hmm. -Between, yeah.
What? Good job, Hazel.
[Danielle] Well, y'all both did good.
Everybody's doing great. Riley, it's your turn.
I'm so proud of, honestly, all the girls.
They have grown so much and, like...
It just makes me think, like, but when it comes to reading,
it's like we really need to dedicate
one-on-one time with that.
But, with a family our size, it is really difficult.
And so, Adam and I have kinda talked about,
like, "What do we do?"
Like, "What do we do?"
[dramatic music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[singer] ♪ I'll make it back ♪
[Riley] Daddy, can you lift up 20 pounds?
Yeah.
All right. You want daddy to school y'all in pickleball?
Danielle's at Graeson Bee
and I'm just kind of manning the fort at home,
but it's summer.
And this fun dad
has another fun group outing up my sleeve.
So they're not just like cooped up
watching TV and stuff.
Let's do three on three.
Daddy will be over here, too.
Scoot.
Oh, oh, I know.

and then you let go, and then you swing it.
Okay.

-Hit it over. -[Hazel] Okay.
[grunts]
[Ava] That's good.
Hey, y'all play. Mommy's calling me.
Hello?
[Riley] Spread out.
Actually, I was thinking
we might just pick something up on the way home.
We're at the pickleball courts.
[Danielle speaking]
[Adam] Somebody, hit it to me. Ooh!
[Danielle speaking]
Because you were at work.
[Danielle speaking]
Over, over, over, okay, I'm getting it.
[Adam] Well, come meet us.

-[Adam] Okay. -[Danielle] All right. Bye.
[Adam] All right. All right. Bye.
Mommy's on her way. Who's hitting?
Oh!
[chuckles]
What happened?
[Adam] Got Parker right in the forehead.
Let me see.
You need a water break?
-No. -You're okay.
You're okay. You're brave.
-You're tough. You're tough. -[giggles]
Hit it over, Parker.
Good job.
[Riley] Parker. She is good at, um...
[Riley] She's good at watching TV.
[laughter]
[Ava] She's bossy.
No, I'm not.
Ava, that's more like you.
[chuckles]
I'm so amazed at Parker.
She just has really blossomed
and found her leadership tendencies.
This girl has, like, almost done,
like, a complete 360 of like--
-No, 180. -I mean--
If it was a 360, she'd be back to square one.
[laughs] That was such a Crystal thing.
My bad.
[Ava] Hey, mama.
-Hey. -[Adam] Hey, there, mama.
There's more than one ball?
[Adam] You wanna play?
-Smoked it, Riley. -[Danielle] Whoa! Good hit.
Did y'all practice reading today?
No, 'cause you only wanna be a fun dad.
[Adam] What is wrong with that?
-I'm the PE coach right now. -[laughs]
You should read before play, right, girls?
We can--
[laughs]
We can read at night.
[Danielle] Ugh. It's so hard to admit this,
but I'm pretty sure that they would say
Daddy does more fun things
because Daddy likes to do fun things
when Mommy can't be there.
But, he could go do practical things,
like, you know, fixing the van or go school supply shopping.
That's an outing out the house.
[laughs]
And how fun is that?
I just don't want you to be the only one
that gets to go, like, "Let's go do this."
Like, I have fun ideas. I can do stuff too.
What?
What's something that you're gonna do?
I'm gonna come up with something.
Still have to do our reading though.
We're gonna do that before we go have fun.
The mom way.
Mommy's like a school teacher.
[chuckles]
Okay. Who's on mommy's team? I'm over here.
-Me. -[Riley] Mommy.
-[Adam] Come on, Ry. -[Danielle] You know what?
I'm fun too, like, I can be fun.
I am fun. [chuckles]
So, I'm gonna plan something and we're gonna have fun.
[chuckles]
There you go, girl.
Ah, mama.
-Boo! [laughs] -[Adam] What is that about?
[Danielle] Team Mom.
[upbeat music playing]
[Danielle] Ava, Olivia.
[Adam] They're all in Riley's room.
-Ava, Olivia, come on. -[Danielle] Ava, let's go.
Get in your beds.
[Ava speaking]
[Adam] Come on, Lulu.
-[Lulu chuckles] -[Danielle] Go, go.
Putting the quints to bed, like, it can be easy.
The problem is...
-Lulu. -Adam.
[Adam] And Lulu. [laughs]
It's not Lulu, it's you.
[giggles]
[Danielle] Oh, my gosh.
[Adam] Depending on the night,
like how difficult it is
to get, like, some of the girls to sleep.
You know, sometimes we'll walk downstairs
and kind of sit at the bottom of the stairs.
I can hear somebody moving.
You know, over the last few days,
we haven't had the opportunity to catch up
on what's going on in our life,
so this is just like a good time to do that.
Guess what the van did on the way to the orthodontist?
-[sighs heavily] -Yeah, it needs to get fixed.
It's starting to really make me nervous.
-It's gotta get taken care of. -[Adam] I know.
And so I'm trying to find somebody
that can get us in quick so we're not without our van
-and it's just-- -[Danielle] No van.
-It's frustrating. -My other news is...
So Hazel will start with the expander.
She'll then have to get braces.
Parker will have to get the expander and get braces.
And then, potential braces for all the girls
over the next year we're looking at.
That's like tens of thousands of dollars.
Yeah, we're looking at probably like $35,000.
I know.
So that's a bit stressful too, you know.
It's a lot.
That's a worst case scenario.
Like all of them need braces.
I mean, it is what it is with six kids, you know,
especially when they are basically the same age.
Well, I guess the good news that I have,
and it kind of helps that.
So I got a call from the owner of Good Ranchers,
-the meat company, you know. -Yeah.
[Adam] He wants me to do like their product photography,
but also they have like a big name chef coming in,
so, you know, that could lead to something huge.
-So... -Well, that's amazing.
Came just at the right time apparently.
Good job.
[Adam] So I've been doing photography for a while now.
It started with doing a lot in just my home studio.
But, you know, this would be a lot more consistent work
and it would be a big change
just because I'm gonna be having to work more
outside of the house.
So, you know, it would definitely be an adjustment
for me and Danielle
just like trying to figure out a new balance.
So we have our first photo shoot coming up
and I don't know all the details yet,
but I mean, we just kind of had the initial talks and...
[Danielle] When is it?
It could be the first week of school.
[Danielle] Well, that's not good timing.
I mean, if it is...
we will figure it out. We always do.
I'm super excited about Adam and this job opportunity
but I'm cringing inside because if it's happening
the first week of school
and I have to go to Dallas for market,
it just messes up everything.
[Adam] So I just gotta get dates nailed down?
Yeah.
I've been counting on Adam to be around for the week
and he's not gonna step up
and take over the schedule
and start changing things and calling people.
All the changes are gonna fall on my plate
because he's not gonna do it.
Hey, y'all know which way to go for third grade?
-Mmm-hmm. -This way.
[Sara] Okay.
Today they're gonna get to meet
their third grade teachers.
[Nicole] How are y'all?
[Jessica] Ms. Duckett and I made the word search.
-[Nicole] You found it, Hazel. -[Jessica] What?
We have a hard time with some of them,
like some of them are just, struggle.
[upbeat music playing]
[Danielle] Who's excited?
Okay. And then... Yeah.
I don't think so. Oop.
Hi, girls, how are y'all?
-[girl] Great. -[Danielle] Hello.
Hey, do y'all know which way to go for third grade?
-Mmm-hmm. -This way.
[Sara] Okay. All right. You lead the way.
We'll follow you.
So kids will be starting school in about a week,
but before that, today they're gonna get to go meet
their third grade teachers.
[Sara] Okay. So that was second grade from last year.
Nobody loves school.
School is boring.
No, I did not.
How dare you?
[Olivia] I never said that.
That was Hazel.
[Jessica] Well, hello.
-Hey. -I'm so glad to meet you.
Did y'all know that I had Blake in first grade?
[girl] Nope.
[laughing]
It's been a while.
So in this room is for, um, let's see,
I got Olivia, Parker and Riley, okay?
Okay.
And then Hazel and Ava.
Sorry, I'll get it.
There... Your all stuff is gonna be next door,
does that sound good? Okay, come on in.
I'm Ms. Sellards, and I'm the quint's third grade teacher.
I'll be teaching reading, writing, spelling, phonics.
And then my partner teacher will be teaching
math, science, and social studies.
[Danielle] And what's her name?
-Ms. Duckett. -Ms. Duckett.
My name is Mrs. Duckett,
and I have never taught quints before,
but I have been friends with Adam and Danielle for years.
[girl] I see a turtle.
[Nicole] Did you already find Franklin?
So I'm excited for this adventure.
So when the first day of school, we'll take him out,
and everyone gets a chance to hold him.
[Adam] How many times has he peed on you?
[Nicole] Quite a few. And some of my students.
[Parker] Uh, no.
[laughter]
I'll wash my whole body off.
[chuckles]
[Jessica] So over here,
Ms. Duckett and I made a special class list,
but it's a word search.
And we're gonna try to find y'all's names, does that sound good?
They're pretty close to yours.
-[Jessica] Got it. -[Riley] It's right there.
[Jessica] Yay, Riley. Okay.
Parker, do you see yours?
-[Parker] I see it. -Don't you show her.
[Jessica] Ah!
[laughter]
[Jessica] Perfect.
Do you see yours, Hazel?
Kind of tall.
[Danielle] You don't sound so sure, Ava.
-[Hazel] Found it. -[Jessica] You find it?
-You found it, Hazel? -[Jessica] What?
-Oh, my goodness. -Okay. Let's find Ava.
If it's not on here, Ava,
I don't think you're in this classroom.
Hmm.
[Adam] There's a bunch of AVs.
-[Ava] I can't find it. -[girl] Oh, I found it.
[girl] I found it.
[Nicole] Do you want a hint?
-Uh-huh. -[girl] I found it.
[Jessica] So it's diagonal so it'll look slanted
like that, Ava.
-No. -[Nicole] No.
[Jessica] You gotta find...
-Oh, well, yeah. -[Nicole] Oh, it...
-Yes, it... That counts. -[Jessica] Yeah, that counts.
[Danielle] You're in there twice.
[Adam] But it's inside somebody's name.
[Jessica] Oh, that's funny. Yeah.
[Adam] There's another one right there.
-[Jessica] You got us. -[Adam] We're left-brained.
She's right-brained. You're special.
[Jessica laughs]
When it comes to like Ava
or Hazel or whoever struggling with reading,
I don't wanna like call anyone out or
make anyone feel less than.
-[Adam] All right. -[Danielle] Hey.
Come on, Ava.
[Danielle] But I just wanna have a little quiet
one-on-one session with one of the teachers
just to kind of talk about like the struggles
that some of them have.
[girl] That's not a classroom, Riley.
[Riley] I know.
I was looking through everything.
[Adam] You're looking through everything?
[Riley] Uh-huh.
[Danielle] So we have a hard time with some of them,
-reading, writing. -[Jessica] I do...
Is there anyone in particular or you're just kind of...
[Danielle] I mean, they all learn differently,
but like some of them are just, struggle.
I've been told this
by a lot of other high-order multiple moms
that, like, as an extreme premature baby,
around third grade is when you start to see
does someone suffer with something,
uh, dyslexia or can't read
or, like, whatever it might be.
But they do struggle on different levels
and so you just wanna fix it for them
and sometimes you just... You can't.
[Jessica] So we have a brand new phonics program
and it goes in like a very systematic order.
-So it's gonna... -It can help. Okay.
It's gonna help with a lot of gaps for a lot of kids.
-Yeah. -[Jessica] A lot of kids.
And I mean, and obviously anything,
you see or hear that you can be like,
hey, this would be helpful for her.
[Jessica] Yes. After we have all the data
-from the first assessment... -[Danielle] Yeah.
[Jessica] we can go over it and see like, who needs what.
But if there's anything that comes up
or if I notice anything, I'll definitely
-let you guys know too. -Yeah.
We thought quintuplet babies and toddlers
and all that were hard. That was not.
Like as they're getting older,
like, it's so much more challenging
because they're not the same.
And like the older they get, the more spread out they are.
But it's really hard.
And so I think that's part of...
That's part of how I learned that the best thing you can do
is be present with them and just to, like,
"I don't know what to tell you right now
but, like, I love you and we're gonna figure this out."
The best thing is still like just reading
every single night.
That's still so valuable.
Yeah. Yeah.
Parker, stop.
When school starts, it's gonna be super hard to adjust.
-For who? -For you too, buddy.
Danielle's just like kind of freaking out,
but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
So I got a problem 'cause I found out
-whenever I have that shoot. -When?
[sighs]
[upbeat music playing]
Ooh.
Everybody buckle up.
You're all excited?
-[girl] Yeah. -Fun day, here we come.
This is Mama's trip.
I thought of Lagoonfest and we're gonna have fun.
We're going to Lagoonfest.
I know y'all think Daddy's fun, but Mama can be fun too.
Yes, ma'am.
Lagoonfest, it's paddle boats
and on the obstacle course.
Um, uh, um...
-[Parker chuckles] -Parker, stop.
Parker, stop.
You're getting that everywhere.
Like I'm super excited about expanding your business
but also just, like, when school starts,
it's gonna be super hard to adjust everything.
For who?
For you too, buddy.
-Okay. -Can you turn on music?
[Danielle] Hold on. Mom and Dad are talking.
I mean, this is the biggest market of the year
and I need to be gone that week so I'm stressed out.
So I'm waiting to hear back
on when the specific shoot date is
for this upcoming job,
but Danielle's just like kind of freaking out
and she definitely needs to relax.
If it falls right on the girls' first day of school,
you know, we might have an issue.
But I mean right now,
like we don't even have the problem yet,
so like, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
-[girl giggles] -Are you kidding me?
[laughs]
[Danielle] Me too.
This day, it's gonna kick our butt
because it's gonna be so blistering hot.
It's like 100 something degrees hot.
You're just trying to put a downer on it
because this was Mom's idea.
Oh.
-[girl laughs] -[girl] Give it to me.
-Ava. -[girls laughing]
Ew, that looks like spit.
[Ava] You kidding me?
[upbeat music playing]
[singer] ♪ I know that You wanna have some fun ♪
[Danielle] Hey, hey.
[Adam] What's up, girl?
What's up?
[Danielle] Ashley says she's coming too.
Dude, you're literally gonna be in the water.
We're gonna have fun on Mom's fun day.
We gotta do sunscreen first.
I'm gonna make this day a success
and no one is getting burnt to a crisp, okay?
[Adam] Ooh-wee.
Danielle, you know you picked the hottest day in Texas.
Hazel is gonna spontaneously combust out here.
-[Danielle laughs] -[Adam laughs]
All right, next.
-Next. -[man] I'm next, Adam.
[Riley] It was so hot.
It felt like 100,000 degrees
and I thought we were gonna burn up.
[girl screams, giggles]
How long do you think the kids are gonna last?
[Parker speaking]
[Danielle] I know, you gotta run fast.
Let's see if we can make it two hours.
[Riley] My mom put so much sunscreen on me.
Felt like a puddle of water.
[Hazel] It felt really good.
[giggling]
[Danielle] Ooh. Oh!
-Oh, that's really nice. -[Adam] That was so great.
[Nicole speaking]
[Danielle] I know. How about just get in the water?
[woman] Do it!
Woo!
[screams]
We jumped from the big towers
and it was a great day.
[screams]
[Danielle] A few rides later and despite the heat,
it looks like everybody's having a great time.
Go Mom, go me.
Go, Hazel.
Go, Ry. Full charge. Go.
Y'all gotta bump each other. That's the point.
[chuckles]
[Adam] So I got a problem 'cause I found out
-whenever I have that shoot. -When?
First day of school?
-For real? Tuesday? -Tuesday.
It's like a two-day shoot,
but that's the day that they really need me.
[Danielle sighs]
I mean, this is why I try to line up
everything that I know that's happening
and know what needs to be done
and try to get things in line the best we can
because when you have six kids,
you have to expect the unexpected.
Things go haywire really quick.
So if it's gonna be that day, I'm gonna have to figure out
like getting out of school, soccer, volleyball, and dance,
-and all that stuff. -Dance is Tuesday?
Yeah, it's the first day of school too.
[Adam] You can't just, like, prepare
for every single little thing,
so, like, that's why I don't stress
about, like, getting stuff covered and stuff like that.
Of course you don't stress about anything
'cause you're just like, "Hey, wife, can you do this?
I need this."
"Got it."
Yeah, I'd probably feel a little bit me obligated too
if I was the one leaving town.
[tense music playing]
I mean, I want you to do it,
but Tuesday is a hard day to make all this work.
So if you're not gonna be able to be there for them,
and then... [sighs]
who am I leaning on?
[upbeat music playing]
[girl] Wee.
Let's go!
[Adam] This season on Outdaughtered...
[giggling]
[Danielle] Things have become very noisy
in the Busby house these days.
-Ava. -Ava!
Oh! [giggling]
[Danielle] They're growing into that attitude.
Hey!
[laughing]
Nope.
Why is your face turning red?
Cause y'all are being mean.
-Stop. Stop. -Stop.
[fart sounds]
Y'all are gonna have a great school year.
-I know it. -Ready?
It's going to be an amazing day.
Volleyball tryouts are coming up
and the worst case scenario is my friends making the team
and I am the only one that doesn't.
♪
So what do you think about reading?
Is it hard?
We've been reading a lot with Ava
but it's still not yet where it needs to be.
Why don't you want to read?
The more you read
you'll probably like it a little bit more.
All right, Chef.
Cameras up.
Ever since I started to get more
photography gigs outside of the house
it's been a big adjustment for Danielle and I.
Me working... Danielle working.
[Door dings] Welcome in.
Plus, all the kids activities.
[screaming]
He doesn't worry because he knows
I'm going to take care of it.
We're going to have to look in to additional help.
If you put on a job description "Quintuplets"...
They're like "Heeeeck no."
I get overwhelmed because I cannot do it all.
Climb down.
You don't want to get to the point where you're too much.
and you feel like you're out of control.
No. No.
You getting up?
For her to have a bad day I have to be prepared all the time.
Whoa! What did you hit?
My bike!
It makes it really hard.
Then one of us don't work anymore.
[breaking sound]
I'm getting more and more desperate now.
You're spinning your wheels right now and you need to chill.
Don't use those words with me.
Relax.
I just can't. I can't.
I'm going for a walk.
