This is pretty much the look she has on her face all the time. Especially when someone is looking at her. She scrunches up her nose, squints her eyes and does the old lady laugh. It's that laugh where it's not quite a laugh but you know there's one in there. And when it comes out? It's gonna be a big ol' belly laugh and it's gonna make me pee myself. http://twise.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-think-someone-likes-being-at-cabin.htmltrishwise@gmail.com (Mama)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LookBusyjesusIsComing/~4/iOcHDp3iu6k" height="1" width="1"/>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11505447.post-6136930989324051201Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:25:00 +00002009-11-12T13:34:12.410-06:00Say What?The CaptainHollywoodSo the other night the husband and I are talking.
