Flashback Friday: Bubble Bath!

Tonight's bath time drama made me think back to how fun and easy bath time used to be for Mr. No.  Stepstools weren't needed in the tub to elevate little feet out of the water because of  teeny owies, Neither were fighting Gormitis.  No it was just Mr. No, some water, a few bubbles and a lot of fun.

Flashback Friday: Silly Mr. No

I forgot all the silly and adorable faces Mr. No used to make. And how every laugh was a big belly laugh.  And most smiles were the crazy pirate smile. I loved that crazy pirate smile!

Mr. Giggles!

super cuteness!!!

big belly laugh!

a half pirate smile!

Quarterly Top 5 Photos : Quarter 2

This year is going by so quickly!  I can't believe it's already summer and already time for the next quarter of photos.  All of these have been posted before since they are my favorites.

1. Love it because it's just the perfect Mr. No expression!

2. Because Mr. No went from being a little afraid of most of the animals to boldly going up to any animal and feeding them this year.

3. Because he loves this photo of himself with the lemur and it was such a cute moment to capture.

4. It's an adorable, candid Daddy and son moment where they're just enjoying each other's company on the carousel.

5. Because I love those eyes and that cute little expression

Wordless Wednesday: He-man vs Skeletor

Simple Things Sunday: Poor Mr. No

Poor Mr.  No spent the entire last week sick. First week of summer vacation and he got sick...of course, the poor thing He had 5 days with a fever and then the cold took hold of him.  He's a cough-y and tires easily still but at least he's mostly back to his old self!  Hardest part of being sick for Mr. No is not running around.  We kept him entertained as must as we could but, by the end, not even movies could keep him calm.  Here's a fun filled afternoon with a sick Mr. No.

First was a rousing games (or 6) of Monkeying Around

He insisted on me building the marble run.  It doesn't take me too long to put together...unless we're missing the red funnel.  We did find it behind the wild west town, thankfully, or Mr. No would have been sad.

sneaky red funnel!

Then there were a few million rounds of Rock'em Sock'em Robots with me and Auntie.

 And finally a few game of the Ladybug Game before a movie and rest time.

Flashback Friday: H and No

Since Father's Day is this weekend, I'm sharing another H and No photo that I put in H's Father's Day photobook.  A simple everyday Daddy and baby moment.

Flashback Friday: Slide Races

I was digging through all my old photos this week to create a photobook for H for Father's Day.  One photo of H and Mr. No for every month since Mr. No was born.  This was one of the ones that made it in since it still makes me laugh!  I love the expressions on their faces! H and Mr. No had slide races all that afternoon and had so much fun. H almost fell off the slide more than once so his fear was real!

Wordless Wednesday: Lemurs

Sweet Shot Tuesday: Budgies

We went to the Franklin Park Zoo this week and one of the interactive animal exhibits is the Aviary with the Budgies.  Mr. No of course wanted seed sticks to feed them.  At first they were leery of hopping on his seed stick but they quickly warmed up to him.  This little guy, though, would only snack from the fence post and he was obviously not comfortable snacking in front of the camera.

Simple things Sunday: A Simple Birthday

I turned 35 this Friday (eek) and H decided on a relaxing family outing as a great way to spend the day.  We went to the Norwottuck Rail Trail in Northampton and it was a nice surprisingly pretty walk...just wish I wasn't so out of shape!  3 hours later, we were all exhausted and needing the "puddin' potty"  aka the porta-potty.  It was a great way to spend the day with my boys!

The Paper Mama Challenge: “Fave Photo of May"

Mr. No relaxing at the Aquarium just watching the fish swim by.  I love how you can tell by the two red lights on his little shoe that he never actually sits still.

Flashback Friday: Happy Birthday to Me!

Since today is my 35th (eek!) birthday, this flashback friday is all about me!  Random little me in my pre-wife and mommy days that I found on the computer.  I really need to scan more photos but I am off for my birthday adventures soon. 35 means 5 years of being a mommy (exactly 6 months from now anyway) and 13 years with H!  We started "officially" dating right after my 22nd birthday and it's been crazy ever since!  I'm not even thinking about how next year I'll be closer to 40 than 30.  I'm NOT thinking about it...

newborn baby me!  Mr. No was wayyyy cuter!
