A Day In The Life...2014

One day last year, I took pictures of an ordinary day in my life. I find that these beautiful, ordinary days seem to fade from my memory and take root in my heart. One day last week, I picked up the camera and did it again. This is a recent day in our lives...in pictures. : )

Flynn and I are the early risers. We had our coffee and milk...

and then played Club Penguin on the iPad. : )

Once everyone was up and ready, we had breakfast. Flynn and I shared this. Meaning, she ate all the chocolate and I got the flakes.

School time. Flynn rings this little bell to start the day. And yes, she really does.

Working hard...

and one of my very favorite pictures. Ever.

Once Flynn was finished for the day, she played with her McDonalds set...

while watching this McDonalds video. Sooo glad I kept all these "vintage" toys and movies from the older kids. : )

Meanwhile, I spent time with this...

and these...

and this. And sixth grade math is hard. Ugh.

We had a light lunch...

and then my in-house bakers made a delicious chocolate cake. Why? Well, because the Dancing With the Stars finale and The Bachelorette premiere were on that night...Why else? : )

And yes...we do this in this house.

While that was happening...this was too.

Well done, girls. Well done. : )

After that...it was outside!!!!

Where someone is getting brave on that little bike. : )

And where someone else really needs to stop acting like a teenager, and more like the 44 year old that she actually is. ; )

Flynn's was better. Cinderella's coach. What else?

Once we came in and washed up, the girls and I had dinner. Steve had a business dinner and Rhett went along with him, so the girls and I enjoyed some leftovers and an episode of The Munsters.

Then it was bath time for a little lady, followed by a yummy piece of cake before bed.

Meanwhile, my personal assistant Peyton cleaned up the family room. Because like her mother, she can't settle in and watch television in a messy room.

Once my youngest was fast asleep, I found my spot on the sectional and joined my older girls for a night of television...

where we watched this young lady on The Bachelorette search for her future husband on a reality  TV show. And you know what? I sincerely hope she finds him, and has as many wonderful days with him and her family as I have been blessed to have with mine. : )
