That's it right there! Those pictures shout happiness and love...something to be thankful for! I LOVE your blog! Have a fantabulous day!

[Staci]

Whew Girl :) I'm tired just LOOKING at these pictures ;) Loved this post ;) and of course I loved Annie with her big smile bringing in the mail :)

[Tonya]

a day in a beautiful life...i need to do this...:)

[Dana D@BoysMyJoys]

Talby's list made me want to reach right thru the screen and squeeze her. Especially the part about mashed "potadoes"- like you can hear her saying it or sounding it out. Sweetest thing ever! :)

[Nancy]

it shows it all. lots of love and fun. what a great life. what a blessing.

[Holly]

so my kids are not the only ones that dont put the cap back on the toothpaste! Love it!

[Danielle]

Love this post! What a great idea - it's the simple things that make up a great life! Thanks!

[Kimberly]

Ok you have crossed the line… you have polka dot sunglasses too! You didn’t even put those in your post about polka dots… but that’s ok I still loved seeing them this morning. There is just something about polka dots; I even love saying polka dots…. I tried on a pair of prescription glasses that had polka dots on them and I thought does Meg own a pair of these too?

[chelsea]

I loved this! What a great idea. Your family seems like such a fun loving classic american crew! and don't even get me started on your beautiful teenage daughter... yikes for you.

[Danielle @ Transforming Home]

Beautiful photos, as always. Love this post.

Danielle

[Debra]

That's great post! What a happy, joyful, family!

[Lisa]

Wow that's one day? I got tired just looking at the photos. How do you do it all?

Take care,
Lisa

[rhonda]

It's amazing how many times we load the disherwasher at our house. I glad we're not alone. Thanks for sharing. Loved it.

[paige]

i love how you have the gift of making the simple ordinary moments of the day seem even more magical & grand!!
i know there are days when we all have to deal with stress & yuckies, but i love seeing all the smiles, hugs, messy heads of hair & sweet puppies in your day

[Rebekah]

Ah, those precious "everydays." :)

You and your family amaze me. Y'all seem so together. I love seeing the smiles on your kids face.

[Tara @ the cinnamon post]

FAB-U-LOUS. But missed your pretty face which is clearly behind the camera! Love this so much.
~Tara

[Barb]

What a perfectly wonderful snapshot of your life. Someday your kids will look back on this and thank you for recording it. Because they will forget what it was like in February 2010.

And now I want a cookie...

[amy jupin]

[CarrieBeth James]

[Dianne Avery]

Love it. Your days seem so peaceful and happy. You are creating wonderful childhood memories for your children. God bless you and your husband....and your children. :-)

[a thorn among roses]

love this...and now i dont feel so crazy!!

[kbonikowsky]

Is that a moth quilt on your couch? It is beautiful! If someone made it for you (or you did) I'd love to learn more!

[Becky @ Farmgirl Paints]

Great peek into your daily life. Looks like a life full of love:) Cute sunglasses!! I can't believe you have the will power to make chocolate chip cookies and not eat any...you my dear are super woman:)

[april walker]

can i come live with you? i love all this family & fun! what awesome pictures of true home life :) ...and i would LOVE to hang out on the couch with waffle. he is just the cutest thing ever! lucky annie :)

[purejoy]

what a great memory to have. enjoyed hanging out with you today. love the pillows. love waffles. LOVE a long way gone. love that talby has good taste (mmmm ramen noodles!) love little girl and doggie toes. love that boys like to read. love me some daddy time. and audience participation after a meal?? i LOVE that!!
basically, love you, your blog, your photos, your joie de vivre. thanks for inviting me in for the day!

[Wendi]

That was fun :)

[Micah]

You got a package in the mail!! Was it something fun???

[keely]

This was great. I love seeing daddies and their kids. Just when my boys have had ENOUGH of their mommma (and vice versa), daddy walks through the door and everyone gets a second wind.
Lovely post.

[Courtney Walsh]

I am totally going to do this one day... more for myself than anything, to see all that I actually do! (I'll make sure to plan it on a day when I'm not lounging around drinking coffee and reading magazines like I am today!)

ha

[AmyB]

I seriously want to clone Waffle!! So cute!

[lucy]

loved your pictures and was inspired to do it at my house and scrapbook it someday.....when all my 4 girls still at home are grown and gone......:)

[Elise]

"plain macaroni and with cheese" That's my favorite too. :)

[Toni :O)]

You have a beautiful home and a beautiful family. Such blessings and this post made me so happy. I LOVE Waffle...wanna squeeze him he's so cute!

[MaryAZ]

Awesome post! I am trying so hard to remember to value the everyday things & not just let the day get away from me...this a great reminder! (my favorite picture is your daughter & the dog "holding hands"!)

[Shari Barnes]

LOVE this... just PERFECT! I think I am going to challenge myself to capture a day in our life real soon!

[Tammy R]

Love it!! Especially the feet and dog paw!

[Michelle Whitlow]

how funny, we had spaghetti for dinner yesterday too :) Minus the meatballs...Lent :)

[Julie]

Love these shots! Great job of capturing the every day at the real levels too!
Julie

[Katie]

That was sweet to see. I love seeing other people's "real life".

[Sarah @ For the Love of Naps]

Love this post. I might copy it and do something similar...if I can think to pull ou tmy camera and capture the little moments. The things you captured are things that your children will love remembering because they are the everyday little things that make your family life unique.

[Gina]

great post! I love love love the picture of annie and waffles' feet!!!!

[sara's art house]

I LOVE your day in the life pics! Every single time you post I think- "now why didn't I do a post like that? Such a good idea!"

[Tegan and Tage]

I love "day in the life" posts. I do one each month on my little guy's birthday day. So important to capture the "day to day" life. Mel from the Larson Lingo turned me on to 10-on-10 and it's the same idea. If you haven't checked out her posts on the 10th of each month I highly recommend them. :)

[Tricia]

Ah, it looks so much like my days. Including the very same coffee jar (would not make it w/o that coffee ;), the Dora on TV (far too often for us), and the wrestling. Yeah, except my kids aren't so good with the dishes getting into (much less out of) the dishwasher. ;)

Looks like a great way to spend a day to me!

[Julianne]

Awesome post! I love it. I feel like that's my life (without the extra 4 kids...just one over here), and I push "Replay" every.single.day. But that's (usually) a good thing.

[Tiffany]

I have one of these planned for next week...don't think I'm copying if you would ever check out my blog!! Sometimes we bloggers are on the same wave length.

Love your blog!!

[Tara]

love this! It's inspired me to do one of a typical day at our house. ...might be scary!

[tasha roe]

these pictures make me want to move it! :)
i need to do this once a month!! great idea! oh and the bottom cabinet knobs on your kitchen cabinets are super rad!! and the spindly-legged buffet/server with the TV on it - to die for!!

[Erika]

Oh my goodness, I so LOVE that quilt and quilt-top pillow on your beige couch!! Handmade? Antique? New?

[meaghan]

awesome post! i think i'll do it and link up to you ; ) what a great day, what a great life ; )

[Bec]

Ugh- I've spent the past two days with a stomach bug. But, it has given me the time to finally get this up and running:

You are in the inspiration list!

[Elisa]

Love :)

[mel]

love seeing your "a day in the life".
what a fun filled house you have!
your polka dot sunglasses are too cute!

[Ruth]

[Julie Wriston]

[princess lasertron]

[Deanna]

[julie]

Lauren's bangs are adorable.
I love them!

Random question... didn't you used to have a blue washer and dryer? Or is that just me imagining that I have them?

[Rach]

I totally have to do this! Mind if I nap the idea? I'll let you know if I post it.

[Amber]

the photos of the back of annie's head could so be my daughter's. in fact, my husband caught a glimpse and said "is that abigail?" um, no! wrong blog. :) though i'm sure her and annie would hit it off!

love the photos...inspires me to take more of our daily happenings. and love the "old" blankets on the couch! so cozy!

[Laura]

I am reading Crazy Love with our small group and I am really loving it. The author has video clips that really bring the book to life.

[Miranda]

This is such a beautiful post! You have such a gift for mothering + documenting. And Talby's handwriting? My goodness it should be a font!

[Dina]

Can I come live with you? .... :-)

[Marisa@make*happy]

I love this! I'm definitely going to do this soon.

[Marie Tere]

Really....it resembles a day in the CK house.

[Genevieve]

A lovely day, a lovely life! Great post!!

[Juli Jones]

my four year old was watching me scroll through your pictures and as I pasted the close-up of talby he said,'whoa, stop. go back up. that girl is cute,no...she is bootiful!' too funny, i had to share. love the photos btw. what a crazy blessed life you lead:)

[the inadvertent farmer]

We play on the bed before bedtime too...well daddy and kids do while I watch! Great snapshot of your life, Kim

[Jen Christians]

I love this..I really really LOVE this... It has taken a little time, but I must say that I am REALLY enjoying my ordinary days so much! I am so happy to know that you are too!

[Kirsten]

You are golden. And I want my son to marry your daughter. She wants to move to Seattle, right? Then we'd be related :)

[The Bookworm]

I absolutely love doing ADITL's! We try to do one at least once a year.

Here is our last one:

I like the butterfly quilt! And I'd like to eat the straweberries please. Kelly

[kindred spirit]

Hi, will you adopt me? :)

what great photos of your family! thanks for sharing....

[Erin]

This is a fabulous idea for a post! What a busy, but joyful day! Inspiring without saying a word!

Have you read Crazy Love or are you working on it? I have heard it was good - just curious!

[Tanya]

I LOVE this! And what a neat idea!!

[Christina]

Your Talby reminds me of my Michaela. She even has that same fleece, and wore hers today (the 18th). :) I love that you captured all the moments...sweet family.

[donna good]

loved how you share your family life!

[Mirjam]

Loved looking at the pictures! Do you have a recipe for these cookies!? :D

[Melissa]

[gina]

[jennifer]

Looks like a busy, fun, perfect day!

[elma]

I just LOVE your blog!! What wonderful pictures. I love the butterfly quilt on your couch. You know have you tried the market place pantry cereal at target?? My kids love it and it saves a lot of money:)
Love all the cookies how long did they last??:)
Laundry never ending isn't it?? I do at least four to five loads a day and with nine beds I try to do a couple extra loads every couple of days for bed sheets:) Busy but so worth it. Thanks for the wonderful pictures. I never get tiried of looking at your family:)

[Newborn Clothing]

What a sweet family. Love how you posted pictures of your family!!! The dinner option list is just to cute!
