[quote=Anonymous]1.  Powder room on first floor - this is HUGE with potty training kids and when you don't want the caretaker to have to leave the kids alone on the floor to go to the bathroom
2.  Dedicated playroom - doesn't have to be huge, but a place for the kid to play alone but within earshot of the family room.  it also helps control clutter - ours is set up with shelves around the room and a crafts table.  everything in there belongs to the kids, and it's their space.
3.  Easy access to the park and playground 
4.  Fenced in backyard flat enough to run around; ideally it would be easily visible from the family room so you can watch kids without going outside
5.  If you can afford more bedrooms, do it.  If you end up having an extra kid, you will want the extra guest room/office/place to retreat when DH snores.  
6.  More storage on the main floor, whether an attached garage or a huge closet or laundry room - place to store strollers (don't want to have to lug them into the basement), carseats, etc.
7.  Think about accessability of laundry - on a living floor is better than the basement[/quote]
