Photos by NJP!

So Nolan loves to get ahold of my little point and shoot camera and took mass pictures yesterday morning. He is a sneaky little guy, he knows that he isn't supposed to. So yesterday I met one of my dearest gals ever(April,) and on the way to CHAPS, Nolan was apparently taking pictures galore! When we got to the restaurant he wanted to take a picture of April and I, so I let him try. When April and I were going through the pictures we started cracking up because there were loads of pictures that Nolan had been taking. They are funny, and very random so I had to post them. Shane isn't too happy, he keeps reminding me that if Nolan breaks this camera, he won't buy me another one ;) I would NEVER let him get his hands on my BiG camera, that would be BAD news. Anyhow, here is what Nolan captured yesterday morning and afternoon~already laughing! WARNING!! They are up close & personal ;) 
Looks like quite a morning =) I have to say that he has done this a few times before, and um ya they were pictures he had taken of his bum ;) Super knotty little stinker! Last year he and his cousin Aiden got ahold of their Yaya's camera and well, let's just say took more pictures of their bums. Again, we had NO IDEA until they came running up to us giggling their little heads off and when we went through, found a few surprises(still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.) I guess boys will be boys!

Simple~

not difficult, not showy or elaborate, plain.  In other words, basic, easy, effortless, straightforward, uncomplicated.
That is how we spent our Spring break! The simpler we keep our life, the more I enjoy it. As does my family! We played at the park, had dinner with friends/family, sleepovers, a little shopping, carousel riding, bike riding, roller skatin', sibling bickering ;), baking, treat eatin' fun!  Easter was "simple" too we made it to church by the skin of our teeth, and relaxed , I mean chased around 3 munchkins for most of the day there after. I have to say one of my favorite things about Spring break was not being on a schedule. While I do love routine, I am looking forward to summer with my kids, and not having to pack up and rush out the door, or wake my babies in order to drop off or pick up Liv from school. One week ago we had a random blizzard, and today sun SuN SUN, with a side of warmth. I think I can FINALLY pack away winter hats, gloves, and coats!
