A Lily and a Sunflower

We've all been working on some form of the winter crud this past month. Mix that in with Lily's first two teeth popping in and you have the recipe for some big-time excitement. (As of today I think we are on the getting-better side of things). I'm feeling rather uninspired right now, but I wanted to get a few shots up. So, rather than being clever and cheeky, I will simply leave you with a few masterful quotes from Jack Handy:

• A funny thing to do is, if you're out hiking and your friend gets bitten by a poisonous snake, tell him you're going to go for help, then go about ten feet and pretend that *you* got bit by a snake. Then start an argument with him about who's going to go get help. A lot of guys will start crying. That's why it makes you feel good when you tell them it was just a joke.
• 
  
• Children need encouragement. If a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way he develops a good, lucky feeling.
• 
  
• The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.
• 
  
• If you're a young Mafia gangster out on your first date, I bet it's real embarrassing if someone tries to kill you.
• 
  
• If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn't open, and you friends are all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were swimming.
• 
  
• If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.
• 
  
• The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why I didn't get more meat, I'll just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where I've hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
• 
  
• I bet a fun thing would be to go way back in time to where there was going to be an eclipse and tell the cave men, "If I have come to destroy you, may the sun be blotted out from the sky." Just then the eclipse would start, and they'd probably try to kill you or something, but then you could explain about the rotation of the moon and all, and everyone would get a good laugh.
• 
  
• If you ever accidentally drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let 'em go, because man, they're gone.
• 
  
• If you're robbing a bank and your pants fall down, I think it's okay to laugh, and let your hostages laugh too, because come on - life is funny.

I wanted to throw a few pics from Lily's friend Anne's first birthday party. From what I can tell they had a great time. I mean who wouldn't have a great time squishing your toes in someone else's birthday cake. Can life get any better? I suggest that it cannot.
