The Weekly Capture

This week:

Tater tried to get the girls to toss the volleyball to her...

the fave songs of the week in teen/tween land are All of Me by John Legend (emma) and Fancy by Iggy Azalea (katie)...

I was lucky enough to have a sweet baby fall asleep in my lap while having girl time over a cup of coffee....
 

I got some love and support from my firstborn and his family, involving Tater, a latte, and peanut butter cups...
 
I spent some time in the dentist chair having a tooth pulled and a bone graft. It was painful and I have to say that I truly despise going to the dentist. But I love having teeth and I'd like to keep them for a while.....

Not the best week here, but there are still moments to remember, which is the point of the weekly capture...

Now go have an amazing weekend!

If I Had a Million Dollars....

What would you do if you had a nice chunk of money to spend, whether from the lottery or working hard to save a few dollars here and there?

I would travel.

No need to think this one out. I have always had serious wanderlust.

I also chose a life that includes 4 children.

So when I travel, it involves loading up the car and driving a max of 8 hours.

But one day travel will involve a plane and limitless possibilities.

Here are just a few destinations on my bucket list....

1.  Greece
 
Corfu, Greece. Another place I need to explore.
 
2.  London
 
One day....
 
3.  New Orleans
 
French Quarter, New Orleans
 
4.  Italy

5.  Hawaii

7.  Paris

Pieces

 
Sometimes the pieces make me happier than the whole picture....

And that's OK.

Spending a rare moment in my giant moleskin book with paint on my fingers.

Might need to think about making those moments less rare....

The Weekly Capture

This week I:
 
dragged this man to both volleyball games...
 
and celebrated Tater's 1 year birthday followed by pool time...
 
and watched the sun go down with my favorite people in the whole wide world...

and watched a couple episodes of Mad Men...

and drank that last refresher that I have been hoarding all month...

and washed dishes. always more dishes...

and it was a good week!
 
Have an awesome weekend!

May Moodboard

clockwise from top left:
 
1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7

May.

The month to start dreaming about the beach.

And seeing sea turtles and mermaids. If we're lucky.

And growing plants. All around the house. If we're lucky.

And working on projects. Like painting on a pure white canvas. And learning to thread that sewing machine. If we're lucky.

22 days until summer break begins. And I'm crossing my fingers for lucky!

Here's to a great May for everyone!
