Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. I don't know if she's doing it this week, due to a crazy week with her baby Stellan. If you haven't ever visited her wonderful site, I highly recommend it. Not only is she fun and funny, but she is also a bright light for Jesus.
Here the story of what I definitely did not do this week:
I did not think that my little Nolie was soooo cute playing in the big tub this week that I just had to take his picture and capture the moment. Nope, not me.
The flash, however, was not making him blink. Every. Single. Shot. I was not getting frustrated because I wanted to capture is precious, happy face on film. (Or digital media, to be more accurate). My husband did not come in, agree he was adorable and then grab the camera and try himself. With the same result. Nope, not us.
I did not come up with the bright idea (low-tech/ridiculous solution) to cover the flash with my finger. Nolan did not keep his eyes open, only to have the shots turn out really blurry instead.
And lastly, Nolan did not suddenly throw himself backward in the tub. I, being an ever calm parent, did not panic. I did not scream. Nor did I scoop him out of the water like Wonder Woman before his nose even went under water. Nope, not me.
I most certainly DID NOT THROW MY CAMERA IN THE WATER in that moment of mayhem. That would be... Well. Beyond frustrating. And maybe a little bit funny. But it didn't happen to me, so I'm not frustrated or laughing.
In case you're wondering, the memory card was not salvaged. My husband was not able to rescue the camera's last moments in time. And you will not find the pictures below:
In retrospect, I guess the first shot was pretty cute. But I didn't quit here. Nope, not me!
Almost...
And not quite... but still cute!
p.s. if you haven't yet, read my last post to see all the crazy ways God did (not) bless us this week!

LOL! That is too funny! I've had that stuff happen to. I've become the crazed mom who keeps trying to get that one perfect shot of her kids. "Come on, honey, look at mommy! No, look this way. Oops blurry, ok lets try again. Stop pushing your brother! Be nice. Now, look at mommy! Smile, come on, smile. Look, mommy's acting silly. Isn't mommy funny! Now look at mommy and smile!". Hehehehe Ahh...motherhood.
Great story. I too have pics of my son where his eyes are half open, closed, etc, When people see them we say he's had a few too many drinks...j/k I would never say something like that...Nope, not me! :) Happy Monday.
Nolan has the most adorable and kissable little face! He looks SO tiny in your big bathtub ...
So ... does this mean you no longer have a camera?! I would feel like I had lost an appendage if I was without mine ... hopefully you have a spare camera????
Our camera is alive again!!! somehow, after a few days it must have 'dried out' completely. with a fresh set of batteries, we are able to take pictures for Shelley to document the wonderful happenings of our 2 little boys...
