Original Post:
Okay so a few weeks ago I screwed up and didn’t name any winners to a contest. Bad author. Very bad. We’re going to have a new contest today to hopefully make up for that. Up first, a few things that have made me laugh in the last few days.
Middle Daughter being … well, Middle.
Frat Boy having a one way conversation with Sadie beneath our kitchen table. I believe he’s saying “Are you my mother?”
Or maybe it’s “PRETTY PLEASE WON’T YOU PLAY WITH ME?”
And here are the four teens I’m housing and feeding this summer. Two of them are Middle and Youngest. The other two are Special Edition and Attitude Ridden Walking. Love them all very much, but they’re eating me out of house and home. And do you have any idea how much energy it takes to stay ahead of four sharp teenage brains?
And then there was what happened yesterday on the grass. Frat Boy doesn’t like to talk about it, he’s still having nightmares. He managed to get the coveted pine cone only to discover that both Ashes and our neighbor Logan wanted the cone.
Bad.
Bad enough to stalk the poor baby Frat Boy …
So. Caption this pic. I’ll be drawing a few random names over the weekend for a book from my backlist.

lol for the Jake and Sadie pic – I think he’s asking her “Come on – tell me! *Is* there food up there??!”
Posted on June 25th, 2010 at 1:13 amAs for the last one… Ashes is saying to Logan,
“You go left, and I’ll go right.” Interchangeable with “Circle behind him and I’ll take the front.”
Jake is probably thinking either “You old farts can’t take me!” Or… “Whee! We’re all gonna play!”
Judy F says:
Jake is most likely saying. Oh crap

I don’t know, does Frat Boy actually think LOL. I think he just goes with the flow.
Too tired to caption. Have a fab weekend. Tomorrow I’m attending the Authors in Motion bus tour in the Chicagoland area – w00t!

Oh, I wanted to caption the first pic: “Do these glasses make my nose look big?”
for the last one: “Drop It! Step away from the pinecone.”

I’m too busy looking at the background and the fact that you FINALLY have no snow left!
Okay…Frat boy is saying..aka Jack Nicholson…
“You can’t HANDLE the pine cone”

“You may be bigger, but I’m younger and faster…bring it on you old farts.”

“Ok, drop the pine cone and no one gets hurt!”
“Who Me?”

What a lovely bunch of “Teens”. You & Alpha Man are incredibly brave having 4 teen age girls at the same time! Kudos to you both.
Middle looks like she is trying out for a creepy water film!!! Sorry Middle!
Frat Boy: Mine! Stay back!
Ashes & Logan: You can’t handle us both!
Everyone have a great weekend.

“Put down the pine cone, bub, and no one gets hurt….”

I think in the second picture, Sadie has her paw up and is hypnotizing Frat Boy . . . “You will go into the woods and find a large pine cone. You will then TAUNT Ashes and Logan with it.”
The last one, Ashes is saying to Logan “Maybe if I’m lucky he will eat it like he does everything else and I’ll get my peaceful life back!”

“Chill out. We’ll split it evenly.”

One step closer and I pull the pin!

Frat Boy to Ashes and Logan,
Posted on June 25th, 2010 at 5:00 pm“Dudes! Let’s party!! Seriously, you guys need to lighten up and have some fun! Uh….why are you looking at me like that? Uh….MOMMY! HELP!!!!”
QLady48 says:
“Don’t come a step closer you old muts, or the pine cone is gonna get it!”
Posted on June 25th, 2010 at 5:08 pmlisa s says:
Frat boy: I don’t care what it smells like, I swear it’s just a pine cone.

Just think of how much food 4 teen *boys* would have put away… may as well live at Costco.
Frat Boy: “I got it! I got it! I got it… oh, um…”
Ashes: “What you got there, little boy?”
Frat Boy: “Nothing…”
Or:
Posted on June 27th, 2010 at 10:40 pmFrat Boy: “but guys, it’s full of suet and birdseed.”
