The aftermath of lunchtime.
After Henry has come down from his preschool 'high'. After the toddlers have stopped hanging on my leg, begging for food. After the baby has calmed down from crying about the bottle that keeps slipping out of his hands and he can't quite roll over to reach it.
But
Before the triple diaper change duty. Before the nap-time-ready meltdowns. Before Henry starts screaming-singing one of his favorite songs "I Like to Move It" at the top of his lungs.
In the middle of my routine, my routine of just keep going; rinse off the dirty dishes, wipe off the spills on the counter, sweep up the broccoli on the floor, (this is the hardest, busiest, craziest part of my day) I see this on my kitchen table:
It just made me smile, reminding me that it's all just a little 'spilt milk'. Don't cry over spilt milk.

Cute!
I love this!
how cool is that?
and i can totally picture you going about the cleaning up business and stopping in your tracks at the sight of the milk smile :)
love it.
I love the milk smile!
Oh, wow. That is SO my house. Exactly. Word for word. Is it bad that it comforts me that someone else has days like this too???
I could have used the milk smile today, lunch time was a rough one around here.
first time i've found your blog. i am soooo w/ you on the anti-supermom. i know people who call themselves supermoms and it irritates me sooooooo much! i am so not about being super...i'm about being the best mom i can for my daughter...knowing there will be a lot of mistakes along the way. :-) will be back!
Love it! And so true. =)
aww, that is adorable!
I like to move it move it too... oh and I totally don't believe that really happened, you faked it because you needed blog material... I would ;-)
Hey SITSta, what a CA-UTE post...I would have gotten a kick out of that too, mysterious I say! Great attitude too...love it! Love the title of you blog girly!
Jamie :-)
Too cute! Glad you snapped that picture ;-)
Ah that'd make any day bearable. Triple diaper duty? Triple the fun huh?
Yeah, that would have stopped me, too! Super cute.
Awwww, how adorable!!
Very cool!!! It's amazing how when you're in super-fast mode how seeing something like that can make you slow down and smile! I found your blog on SITS and of course it was the title of your blog that caught my eye!! I'll be Anti-Supermom right along with ya!
Funny how something so little makes all the difference!
I am so glad we live in an age where we can record these moments. It will keep you warm for years to come :)
Aw, geez. That couldn't have been any cuter!
Greetings, positive thinker! I've given you an award... come by and pick it up!
This post made my day, by the way. It is now officially one of my favorite posts of all time, forever.
I don't know how you do it. I only had one and she was so well behaved that people don't believe me when I talk about her. (That would be Mikki, the previous commenter.)
That little milk smile would sure get to me. It's really sweet.
Love that, sister.
haha.. that is such a cute post!
I could totally picture it all happening... I think I live a mirrored life :)
I think if we all looked, we'd find milk smiles in all our "spilt milk" moments.
Today is a very big day in the Where’s Wenda? Contest. I am visiting all of the SITS followers. Can I do it? There are around 1000 followers. Oh my! Better grab my cup of coffee and get on my way. Be sure to visit Hot Chocolate Caramel Mocha and Three Bay B Chicks as part of your contest entry.

How neat!!!! And so funny about the Move It Move It song! My son goes around singing that constantly and it drives me NUTS!!!
Aww! I totally would have stopped and smiled too! :) So sweet.
great way to look at the day Mom
Over from SITS!
Cute!! What are the chances that spilt milk would literally bring a smile to your face!
Cute blog!
How sweet!
Awww, how sweet. I love when the kids do stuff like that!
Who doesn't love a milky smile!?
Over from SITS; it's nice to meet you :O)
Too true! This mothering stuff is hard and we all need to search for our silver lining :)
Ha! It's great that you actually stopped and noticed this. Most would have been all stressed/busy and just wiped it without looking.
Happy SITS day.
Love your blog! You have a new follower!!
LBM x
Love that!!
What a cute little reminder to keep things in perspective.
Boy, I probably would've wiped that up without even noticing, knowing me. How cool that you happened to see it.
Too cute and definitely picture worthy! LOL!
Amazing! Great reminder not to sweat the small stuff.
Nice you noticed that smile to help you keep going. What a crazy routine you have!
Happy SITS day!
Im so glad you saw the milk smiley face and captured it, AND told us about it. It really is all mostly just spilt milk! :)

Hi www.greedygirlsguide.com checking in from SITS
The milky face is too cute
How sweet!
We could all use that reminder now and again. Me... I need it about 80 times a day.
That is pretty amazing. :) Happy SITS day!
It's those little things that make it all worthwhile.
I would definitely take that as a "sign".
Wow,way cool! That would make anyone smile. :)
Awwww... that would put a smile on my face even if I was in a grumpy mood ! Happy SITS day !
I love it! What a perfect thing to put a smile on your face!
Awww, you couldn't have planned that in a million years. Like I said in my post this morning, 'moments like this are mayonnaise on the sandwich that is life'. How perfect!

Wow you certainly have your hands full. But as you say, sometimes it's good to put things in perspective.
Very cool. Like the madonna in someone's grilled cheese, right? Too funny:)

Just when you need it the most a smile shines down. Or looks up...whatever.
Happy SITS day.
You are absolutely right... if that doesn't make you smile, you have no business being around kids!
Very cool! Happy SITS day!
Too cute! Great reminder.
Aw! What a cute reminder to smile.
A perfect reminder!
Too cute.
Stopping by from SITS!! Too funny! I love those moments that take you by surprise and some how put things in prosective. A little smiley face of spilled milk will do that to you. :) Great blog.
What a great capture, thanks for sharing. This put a smile on my face as well.
Too cute!!! What a cool reminder!
Woo-woo! A message from the milk goddess Mammalia! "Have a nice day, milk-face!"
I love little moments like that!!!

That is darling :)
I wish my spilt milk looked like that.
Aahh, what a great little thing to make you smile! Your blog is great! Happy SITS FB day!
Great reminder and so cute!
How neat! Puts everything into perspective. :o)
Congrats again on your SITS feature day!
My milk never looks like that. It's usually something that stains... and on carpeting.
My milk never spills like that, it is usually dried bottle rings on the counter that hubby growls about while scrubbing off.
That's too cute. Wish my "spills" were of that size! Oh, and my girls love "Move it Move it!" Have the soundtrack & listen to it too much! Thanks for the cute post. Happy SITS day to you.
Too true and too cute! Amen for those moments!
Ewww...you left it there long enough to take a picture? ;oP
My best, Lynn
That is an awesome thing to see between all the madness...
That's awesome. Gotta love those moments. Happy SITS day!
Nice! My daughter loves that song too!! ;-)
Aww! Love this too!
It's definitely the little things that make it all worthwhile.
Love it! I need to remember that more often!
Right. It's all spilt milk...now if only we could paste smiley faces on all our other problems, that might make 'em easier to swallow, right? Love this!
K that is just adorable!
so adorable.
happy SITS.
God moment.
That's so cute.
