A Contest
December 16, 2005
I’ve got nothing here today but sick kids and tons of guilt over all the holiday “fun” that we still haven’t gotten to and need to get done in eight days or ruin my children’s lives forever. Okay, that might be a wee bit dramatic, but that is just a glimpse at my inner dialogue.
Yesterday I attempted to take more pictures of the children, somewhat successfully. This photo was begging for a funny caption. Everyone put on your thinking caps and the best caption will win a non-existent prize of my choosing. Oh yeah, I am generous like that.

December 16th, 2005 at 9:33 amSomething’s stuck up in the chimney and I don’t know what it is… but Santa’s late.
December 16th, 2005 at 9:40 am“Do you smell something burning?”

December 16th, 2005 at 7:07 pm“Baby! I thought that you ran away!”
(Remember last winter when your daughter was dragging around the yard statue?)

“And you thought mom was mad when we took pictures, she’s really going to blow when she sees this!”

December 18th, 2005 at 8:59 amKids: “Is that Jon Stewart up there?”
Mom: “Excuse me kids, I think this package is for me.”
December 18th, 2005 at 10:39 amHmmm, what about
“If we can get to Santa first, maybe we can change his mind about that whole cole thing!”

December 18th, 2005 at 10:38 pm“You get some wood, I’ll get the matches.”
December 19th, 2005 at 12:01 amThat’s a great picture! I think you should put that one in the cards, and just tell everyone that the rest of the kids are up in the chimney LOL
Hmm for a caption, how about “Mom’ll put you guys up here too if you don’t turn around and smile, Quick!”
Merry Christmas, and I love love love the mantle and wreath.

“Ok, when he lowers down the toys, you grab the bag and I’ll close the flue.”
