Molly is FIVE

I was on the verge of tears about a million times today because of this kid.  

 She made me a mom 5 years ago today.  She is a source of absolute pure joy in my life.  Sometimes when I watch her try new things or just be her everyday awesome self it hurts because of how much I feel for her.  As she gets ready for Kindergarten to start next week I have all kinds of anxiety that I never thought I'd feel.  I don't want to let go of her, not even a little bit.  I can't stand the thought of not knowing what she's doing and sharing in all of her wonderful moments throughout the day.  

I hope that she is always as full of joy as she was today.  That she always loves "her" day as much as she did even though it didn't totally work out the way we thought it would.

I hope we will always have fun moments like today even when she's older and I'm totally not cool to her anymore.

As if today wasn't exciting enough, she topped it all off with losing her first tooth.

and then her and Violet laughed and played together at the pool and crashed on the way home.  

they are literally my whole world.

Stay-cations are the best kind

Nelly and I had a little stay-cation since we didn't really get to do too much over the summer and since he is DONE DONE his first year as a firefighter and I am celebrating my first week of school being over... hah!

Anyway, it was glorious, we didn't want to come home and room service is the best :)

One more thing

some days I cannot believe how much I love this boy

A Few Things...

Today I'm excited about...

picking a colour for our kitchen:

I'm happy about:
... the awesome finds for our house from places like Dad's old bins

I'm dreaming about...

Hawaii. Can't believe its almost been a year since we've been there. guess the framed images will have to suffice for awhile :)

I am in awe of...
anyone who has given birth. And more specifically Miss Carmen for her amazing little boy!
And lastly, I am grateful for my hubby who treats me like gold and makes me dinner with instructions when he works at night
