Haha, remember last week when I posted this photo (along with another)?

Well, apparently not a whole lot of people thought it was as insanely awesome and funny as we did. This was evidenced both by the complete lack of likes and interest from my own Facebook friends and the *almost* no comments or traffic on that post.

Haha. Oh well. I had expected people all around the entire world to start taking Dixie Cup Eye photos and have greatly improved, better lives as a result. I expected hundreds. Maybe thousands. Maybe millions of people to send their pictures to me.

I got five.

And these five people are officially the awesomest people in the history of all awesomeness.

We got the classic double-shot from Erica, just like Kelsey and I came up with.

Then we got the monocle shot from Shelby.

Then things really started getting creative. Rachel and her daughter got creative and made some fantastic versions of Dixie Cup Eyes with them.

And then, a couple days ago, Brittney sent me these. Which of course made me immediately aspirate the water I was drinking.

So while it wasn’t a worldwide success. It was a HUGE success in my book. At least for the cool people who thought it was as cool as we did. :)

I'm glad you posted something to make us take the time and laugh a little at life. It may have made me look silly but it was fun and our whole family had a blast. I think we don't laugh enough as a society anymore and need "challenges" like this more often.

Yes, yes that's me in there. Crazy me. My kids absolutely LOVED seeing mommy be silly. They laughed for a very long time and still say "mommy do that cup eye thing again." Thank you SDL for a riot in our home.

Too cute! Thanks for sharing! I, too, am a little surprised you only received five ... but then again, I'm one of the lame people who didn't respond to your challenge for awesome fun. I probably (lamely) decided it would take too much time and effort and focused on less awesome things instead. I think a big takeaway from this is that more of us might need to take some time for goofiness.
