The Paper Mama “Toys” Photo Challenge

We have so many photos of Mr. No playing but this one is truly one of my favorites.  He's "working" on his toy laptop looking up ideas for monster traps.  We were monster hunters and none of our traps were working on a particularly tricky monster.  He did finally find one that worked.

I actually took photos of something other than Mr. No this month but my favorites are always of him, anyway. A cute little Mr. No half-smile...
 

Leap into Spring Challenge: Easter

Easter challenge is easy since Mr. No is lucky enough to have 2 egg hunts every year on Easter Sunday.    His first hunt is always at home and in his pjs.  Easter bunny barely had time to hide all the eggs this year Mr. No was up so early!  We all needed coffee to get through that one!

hunting far too early on a Sunday morning!

Hunt #2 is at Nana and pop's house in his Easter outfit and with whatever family shows up before he can no longer contain his excitement and bursts out the door to hunt the eggs.

It wouldn't be Easter without family! And Mr. No is a snuggler!  Sometimes too much of a snuggler...

“Black and White” Photo Challenge

Preschool will be the death of Mr. No, I swear.  Here's poor sick Mr. No with his watery eyes (from so much coughing) outside enjoying our one mild day this week.

Sweet Fresh

Braden, also known as Fresh, has not been getting his fair share of camera time lately.  So here's our sweet, handsome boy peeking over the sheets trying to decide if he's too lazy to get up and ask for a snuggle. 

Photo Challenge: Favorite Photo of January

Mr. No was in a picture taking mood this month and have far more photos than usual of him being silly and cute but for some reason this one is my favorite.  I think it's because, for once, you can still see his baby self in my tall preschooler.

I'm linking up with Chelsey at The Paper Mama for the Favorite Photo of January challenge.

Paper Mama Challenge: Friends

 Mr. No is always cutest when with his friend Noodle.  Here are the No's taking a break from walking in the woods to snuggle and play some angry birds.

Photo Challenge: Red

Mr. No in his famous red raincoat and firefighter rain boots.  I never take good puddle jumping photos but I do love his big splashes.

Photo Challenge: Furry Friend

Our cats were our babies before Mr. No so I was super excited to show our handsome boys off.  Yes I am the only female in our little family.  Even the bunny we had was a boy.  Here's our ridiculously handsome cat Braden (aka Fresh) hanging out in the sunlight.

and because it's mean not to have a photo of his brother, here's little Owen:

Photo Challenge: Black and White

I'm not very good at black and white conversion but here's my attempt on a photo I love.

Crazy Days of Summer: Critters

This my favorite critter photo.  This little guy was so cute and tiny!  He's pictured here on Mr. No's little hand so you can tell just how tiny he is.  I'm the one that caught him and gently placed him on an overjoyed Mr. No's hand.  We never take our little friends home.  We always place them gently back where we found them.

A few more favorite critter photos:  a hermit crab friend I waded out into the ocean to find and bring back to Mr. No.

I couldn't find the photo of the bumblebee mooning me but I did find this poor guy that I followed around one afternoon.

And 2 butterflied from the butterfly gardens.  One lives at Magic Wings and the other lives at the Butterfly Place both in MA but opposite ends of the state.

Photo Challenge: Sweet

What could be any sweeter than Mr. No and Noodle just being good friends?

Favorite Shot from June

This is currently my favorite shot from June.  It's of my favorite people at my favorite place, the ocean, the day after the intense storms that brought tornadoes to MA
