In my classroom, I have a special needs friend who often repeats things that I say. Every morning we play a hangman type game to see who will be our special helper for the day. I hold up alphabet cards with the letter and picture (like n for noodle). After holding up a card I will say, "Does our special helper have a "n" for noodle in their name? If not, apparently, I will often say, "Not today!" Now when I ask my special friend to do something he doesn't want to do he will say, "No thank you! Not today!" Hmm...
I am often reminded of this phrase when I think I am going to get a task completed at home...and for whatever reason...pregnant, 11 and a half month old, or any other circumstance...it just doesn't happen. One task I have been trying to complete for a while now is taking a Christmas card worthy picture of Jonas. Well, I am happy to say that, after several days of trying and me ending up saying "not today!" that we finally have a picture! The cards have been ordered and now we will have to wait until they come in the mail and then scurry around gathering addresses to get them in the mail...hopefully no one out there is holding their breath. Here are a couple of the pictures entitled "Not today!"

That is so true! Every year I always wonder why I try to mail out a Christmas picture. I must say, though, that Jonas is still pretty cute on his "not today" pictures too.
I particularly liked the top one. I can't imagine why you didn't use that one. Hilarious!
aww .. he is a cutie! i loved your funny story ... i can just imagine you telling it. miss you, friend!
