A study in Dexter

Currently Reading Ship of the Line (Hornblower Saga) By C.S. Forester see related

My nephew Dexter, how I LOVE that boy.  He’s got these eyes that he can flash at you (we call them crazy eyes) and then… it’s like nothing ever happened.  Kind of like the look above.  This afternoon I was taking some pictures of him, trying to get a smile when my sister says, “Dexter, give Aunt Dani your crazy eyes!”.

Here he is preparing, workin’ up the smile to go with them.  Are you ready for this?  I don’t think you are.  I think you all need some time to prepare for the upcoming sight.   Okay, you can scroll down now.

FLASH!  There they are!  These are actually pretty mild as far as some of his crazy eyes go, check out those brows.  Too funny!  And then…

He threw in one of these.  I refrained from throwing down the camera to hug him, he knows how to get his aunt to laugh.

The left eye, not to be outdone took its turn as well…  Don’t hurt yourself there buddy!

Back to his normal self again, like nothing ever happened.  The only thing that could give it away is the group of his grandma, mom and aunt all wiping tears from their eyes from laughing so hard.

I love you Dex!

My friend Sarah over at My Hands Full tagged me with a 7 Random Facts tag.  So I sat down last night and typed out the first seven things I could think about myself.   I then realized how weird I am Here we go…

1. I love leaving weird messages on my sister and brother-in-law’s recorder (they screen their calls).  Does anyone remember the Bud Ice commercials? The penguin used to really unnerve my sister, so now when I can’t think of a good message I fall back on “dooby-dooby-dooo”

2. I stabbed myself with an X-acto knife a couple weeks ago.   Note to self, when the aforementioned knife does not easily slide into its case, do not, I repeat, DO NOT push harder.   Bleeding will ensue and said bleeding is hard to stop.

3. As of a week and a half ago I have been a bridesmaid three times.  Argh, the curse be upon me!

4. When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian, that was until I found out they also had to put animals down.  I couldn’t handle that part.  How was I supposed to know I would go on to live in the country, own and care for animals and even have to put some of them down?

5. Grammar is not my friend, grammar and spelling that is.  Okay, grammar, spelling and the English language in general are not my friends.

6. I was away from home more than half the month of October, this does not include errand days and the day I spent at my sisters.  We need to do that again Corin, minus the surgery part, I’ll even bring my own Dew.

7. When I was seven I had my head split open by my broom wielding sister.  Now when she says I’m being weird, or remembering something wrong I just remind her whose fault that is, she then threatens to beam me again.

Okay, I think that is pretty random, hopefully there are no repeats, and I will even tag two people who came readily to mind.

Corin, because she LOVES to be tagged
and
Christina, because she has been harassing me about my lack of blogging

Thanks Sarah for the tag!
