Is it waking up and feeling Jason's arm draped over my waist. That is a great feeling.
Maybe a morning house full of noise. Commotion, Arguing, Laughter.
Have a great day kisses as they run out the door.
Is it riding bikes to school with Clara. Giggling and having "our" special time.
Is it walking into the house with all the dishes done.
Drinking that perfect diet coke with great ice.
When the house is empty and it is just me and my thoughts of what to do.... or not do.
I love the part of the day when I can just feel that the kids are almost home. That last few moments of quiet before they burst into the house.
Is it watching one child get to play in the game that they have been working so hard at, and do really well.
The moment of the day when 5 kids need 5 different things.
Sitting around the dinner table.
Or is it when I pour warm water over the little ones heads watching the shampoo bubbles fall down their backs.
Is it reading one of those books, that I probably have memorized by now. Knowing that I read that book as a child and loved it as much as they do. Or waiting patiently as a child struggles over a word to sound it out as they read to me.
Is it walking past a bedroom door ay bedtime and seeing Jason on his knees having a tender moment with one of the kids.
Every night being hugged goodnight by that wiry teenager that would never let his friends know that he loves the hug from me right back.
Or the moment when it is quiet again, all the kids in bed, with Jason's arm around my waist knowing that I get to have the best part of my day again tomorrow!

Ah Sara, I don't know what I am going to do with all this creative writing you've been doing. You've gotten me all teary eyed over this. I just made mental notes of all things like this from my day today.
You are the best part of most people's day - that is my vote!
Wow!! What a great outline of the favorites from your day! This is such a great memory for your kids someday too! Make sure you turn your blog into a book. Your kids will LOVE to be able to look back over all of these things and remember their favorites too!
hey art mom--thanks for making such a great list of good moments. i like being able to look at the different parts of my day and see the good in all of it!
This is nice. I'm in the "quiet house" moment right now and trying to soak it all in before it ends. Aah!
I'm so stealing this idea for a post of my own. I loved the pictures I got from each of your favorites.
Also, are you and Jason owning a School of Rock? Can we all come for a summer session? Are Marc and I too old and geeky to be students? Details woman! You can't post that stuff on fb and then just be mum.
You are so cute, what a great idea. I love many of those moments too. I can't wait to see Seattle picts.
