Caption Contest - Changing Things Up!

Happy Caption Contest Day! I love to keep you guys on your toes. So, this week...we're doing something a little different. I'm making it easy on you. Consider it a little spring break present. Since most of us don't get a spring break anymore. And if you do well...lucky you. Instead of coming up with your own captions, I created this handy little poll (see right side toolbar) and you will get to select your favorite that I came up with! See?! - I'm willing to do some work here, too. Captions are for the photo below:

All other rules are the same - polling ends at Noon EST on Friday. Everyone who selects the winning caption will be a winner! Feel free to leave comments if you still want to caption or to let me know what you think of this idea. Unless you think it's a bad idea. Then just keep your opinions to yourself.

Not Over It

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we had a couple guests this weekend (awesome) and they had a great time with Pants and kept asking if we were "over" how cute she is. Well...when she does stuff like this...

...the answer is a definite "no."

Barking off schedule

Happy Monday!


We had a great weekend of birthday celebrating and hanging out with two fun out-of-town guests (who swooned over Pants - lucky girl!). But it was hard for Pants to accept that sometimes you have to adjust your schedule when you have guests. This was the look of despair I got when I told her she couldn't go on the porch and bark at the taxis (a favorite pasttime) until our guests woke up.

Winner AND New Feature! It's Like Christmas!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!! Hooray - we have a winner!

Javs!!!
(I can hear his shocked reaction now)
High fives all around!
(did you see what I did there? because your winning comment was about fives, too? I'm so clever.)

Today is a a great day. The sun is streaming through my office window. I am excited for some awesome upcoming weekend festivities (!!!).

And...I'm SO PUMPED to announce a new feature to the Lily blog.

Are you ready?







I give you.......FRUMPY FRIDAY!

We all know how hard it is to be motivated on Friday. It's the end of the week. You have mentally moved on to the weekend. You have tried to be productive throughout the week so that you can just sit at your desk like a lump on Friday. And thus, the perfect epitome of a Friday is Pants looking frumpy. Which she does. A. Lot.

So, our first iteration - I give you....the Frump Master:

CAPTION CONTEST - Best Seat in the House

Definitely generally try to avoid posting pictures of myself on the blog, but this was just too ridiculous to ignore. I did a little cropping, but I think you get the idea.

Caption away!!! - good luck!
Contest ends at noon on Friday.

Cute

No idea why, but Pants has really turned up her cute/affectionate recently.
It's really sweet :)

Well, this is awkward....and St. Patty's!

First and foremost....happy Friday!!!! Just a few more hours between me and a nice, relaxing weekend.

But before that, there are important matters to attend to....like WINNERS! And let me tell you, this week was another "first." Apparently Auntie A wasn't confident in her first submission, so she just went ahead and gave herself a little competition. With herself. So in the battle Auntie A vs. Auntie A....well, I think you know what happens. But it turns out that the second one was completely unnecessary, because I can't think of a more winning phrase than "flip and spread em."

We hope you had a great time celebrating St. Patty's Day! Although not Irish in the least, we certainly enjoyed our celebrations at la casa de Pants:
What, she doesn't look celebratory? I think you just need a closer look:


Oh yeah!

Winner!

Congrats to.....JESSICA! YOU'RE the next queen of the Lily blog!
(please tell me you read that in your best Bob Barker voice)
Some days are "eat the grass" kind of days and some are "pass out on the sofa" kind of days. I'm personally hoping for the latter today.

Happy Ides!

(Pants: not enthused for Ides)

The Fighter

Happy Monday!

This is a little bit of a late post, but Lily was lucky enough to attend an Oscar party last weekend and she's dying to show off her costume.

Here's the little fighter in all her party glory.

WINNER, Records & Good Starts to the Weekend

YAY! So many exciting things happened with this week's post. We set a RECORD for the number of Caption Contest entries (hooraaaaaay), someone actually used the "like" button underneath the post (hooraaaaay) AND we had an impressive range of topics in our captions, from movie references to cultural commentary.

After all of that, I am very excited to announce that this week's winner is.......VINH! I LOLed at his response for a good minute. And any entry that can do that is a winner in my book (keep track of these hints, by the way, guys).

Pants and I are super psyched for the weekend. Any weekend that starts off with a bone between the legs and a nap seems a-ok to me.

CAPTION CONTEST - Amazeballs.

YOU GUYS.
In a break from my typical form, I actually had today's Caption Contest post drafted and ready to go yesterday. Yeah...I'm that on top of it.

But...then I came home to this:

...and all previously planned posts went right out the window.

I hope you enjoy (and caption) as much as I did.

Good luck. Contest ends Friday @ noon EST.
