Grrrr

I am so mad! Apparently, I downloaded a virus when I downloaded one of the pre-k lesson packs for Mr. No and now I supposedly need a new hard drive. Good thing I backed up all my photos and movies on my external hard drive!!! H's computer is acting weird now too but it may only be the video card which would be an easy fix since he can just take it from my now broken computer. At least if that works, I can put new photos on his and move them to the external hard drive. But, for now, all I have are iPhone photos. So here are our shadows outside the Kid City children's museum in CT today. Mr. No had a fabulous time and hopefully I'll eventually be able to post the photos.

A Lazy Sunday

Since this is a blog all about Mr. No's adventures, I figured I'd do a day in the life a Mr. No through pictures.  We were stuck in the house this Sunday since my car won't start and poor Mr. No had yet another cold so what else were we going to do? We played and played and played and I took photos of most of it.

all ready for Mama and Mr. No movie time before bed.  tonight's movie:  Toy Story 2

So there's a little glimpse into a lazy Sunday in Mr. No's life.  I was so exhausted from playing all day that I fell asleep during the movie.  Mr. No made it to the end and beyond.  Of course he did have that awesome nap.

Friday Favorites

Love how we keep finding new little critters around or new home!  Mr. No would keep them all if we would let him.

 

Love this photo of Mr. No from this afternoon.  He was waiting for H to throw the paratroopers off the deck and the sun was streaming around him. He was so excited about those paratroopers!

Flashback Friday: The Little Things

One thing I really miss as Mr. No is starting to get older is that incredible sense of awe he had over...well, pretty much everything.  Everything was new and exciting and just amazing to him and it definitely infects us as parents which is a wonderful thing!  I was lucky enough to catch his adorable 1 year old face frozen in a moment of awe over who knows what. Something little like a bird flying by or an icicle. It makes me smile and makes me sad at the same time.  Sad at how quickly we lose that feeling and it's replaced with a sassy know-it-all attitude.  Mr. No is definitely still amazed by things, and sometimes still the simple things, but there's way too much know-it-all sass and it's taking over.  I want him to love and be amazed by all the little things forever but I'd settle for just a little bit longer. 

September Top 5 Quartely Link Up

This time I chose photos that most capture Mr. No's personality rather than what I thought were my best photos of him. He's happy, silly and full of crazy...I mean, energy...and I think these photos show that pretty well.

Mr. No in his box car that we have yet to finish.  I really have to get moving on that.  It's going to be super cute but the move kind of ended construction on it.  Of course, it can't just have some marker headlights and a door cut out.  It has to have a windshield and funky paper all over and a steering wheel and dragon flannel carpet to sit on...

Mr. No sitting in the water almost up to his neck.  This is the kid who will not even put a toe in the ocean and screams at me for sitting in a tidal pool and he's sitting in the lake that we had to drag him out of.

Playing in the fog at the Science museum and just being Mr. Silly No.  I believe he was superhero flying.

Mr. No proudly posing with his buddy dragonfly (you can just barely see his head on the top of the stick).  Our new home has tons of wonderful dragonflies and Mr. No is beyond thrilled!

Last is Mr. No the Olympic puddle jumper!  If there is a puddle, anywhere, Mr. No has to jump in it.  He cannot resist the lure of the puddle.  Luckily we have rain boots and a rain coat for just such an occasion.
