For My Birthday, a Photo Caption Contest!

JWS_9066.jpg

Today’s my birthday! Ahem. Those candles in the cute little cake Mike made for me (isn’t he SO sweet?) do not represent my age in actual numbers nor in decades. Still, as Gregory put it this morning, “Mom, you’re old.” Help! I need to laugh today. So, since it makes me feel WONDERFUL to give things to people that I know they’ll love, I’m giving away a FREE family photo session today!*

Here’s how to win: post a comment adding captions to the photos of Kaptain Karl (a k a Karlito, Meatloaf, Schnookums). The best set of captions — the set that makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD — wins! You can also leave a comment voting for your favorite set of captions to help your friends win the big prize!

The small print: *To win, you must be a resident of Metuchen or Edison, NJ, or be willing to travel to Metuchen or Edison. Family sessions that include more than six people are subject to additional fees. Free sessions do not include print credits, and are transferrable, which means if you win, you may give your session to a friend. Remember, you do not need to leave your full name in the comment post. I’ll know who you are by your e-mail address.


HAVE FUN! Make me laugh!

  1. Oh! These made me laugh out loud! And I’m so not creative enough to come up with anything wittier than “There will be no interupting my nap…”

    I’ll be back to vote for others!

  6. Jules, I LOVE your photos! I can’t think of anything clever for the captions, but these photos of Kaptain Karl (AKA Karlito, Meatloaf, Schnookums)are hillllarious!! It would be great if I lived in NJ - I’m sure that would inspire my creative muse!

    Your sweetie is awesome for making you a cake and I LOVE the star candles. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope it’s one of the best!

  9. #1. Hello Kaptain Karl, *gulp* sir. Schnookums? You’ll note that I’m really not trying to bite you… see, the boy’s got me by the tail… doin’ the dinosaur thing… you understand. Nothing personal.

    #2. Oh! I am SO glad you are taking it like this. You know boys! Ha ha! Seems like you and I are on the same frequency about these little scamps, huh, Karl? Ha ha!

    #3. You know, I knew the other toys were full of it when they said you were a bad cat. I told them-

    #4. OH GOD!!! IT WAS THE TRAINS THAT SAID IT, NOT ME!!!

    Happy Birthday Julie!

  18. #1. I, the ferocious Velociraptor, have found my ultimate prey: the loafing feline known as Tyranosaurus KaptainKarlineous (or T-KK, for short). I will devour him slowly and with understanding.

    #2. Hmmm, the loafing feline seems to be unwary of my intentions, or just too lazy to care.

    #3. I rear back to strike my deadly raptor blow on T-KK’s carotid artery.

    #4. ARRGHH !!!! Cut to black….

    1. Hi honey, I’m home from Vegas….
    2. I promise, I didn’t do anything bad!
    3. You’re not still mad at me for going, are you?
    4. Uhmph, I’ll take that as a “yes”.

  23. #1 Hey Kaptain Karl…Wake up! I have some big news….

    #2 It’s Julie’s birthday today! I heard she was 100 years old!

    #3 (KK) Unbelievable! These dinosaurs really do have brains the size of peas. No wonder they are extinct!

    #4 (KK) I can’t let him spread this vicious rumor about her age. I know how to take care of him!

    Happy belated birthday, Julie. I know I’m too late, but wanted to say hi and hope you had great day. I so enjoy checking out your great blogs, and it was so nice to see all of you a few weeks ago!
