It's been that kind of year.

In just another freaky development to an already bizarre year, it snowed last night. Mind you, the last time it REALLY snowed down here was about 6 years ago and that was in February. So to wake up on November 21st and see all that white stuff on the ground was a little weird.

Naturally, Ang took the kids outside to try and take the perfect Christmas Card picture and shock of all shocks? It was an epic FAIL. These three couldn't take a picture where all three were smiling AND looking at the camera at the same time if Sponge Bob Freaking Squarepants himself was taking the picture.

Ciera looks thrilled, Trot looks like he's ready to pass a kidney stone, and Rakes is trying to figure out someway to set it all on fire. Which is par for the course so I didn't let it get to me.

Barack Obama is the next President of the United States, the Tampa Bay Rays made it to the World Series, and a 5' 5" 2nd baseman is the American League MVP. Combine that with the fact the Arizona Cardinals are in first place, gas is under $2 a gallon and Ang still hasn't realized I'm a dink and you've got a pretty good idea this is not your average year.

Snow in North Carolina before Thanksgiving?

Just another weird notch in the belt of the year 2008.

Makes you wonder what in the world is going to happen in 2009, right?

"Ang still hasn't realized I'm a dink "

she probably realizes it, but it's just another reason to love you. it's like amy and my raging hatred of the portuguese (im kidding. i only hate italians, and only those named vinnie and only those italians named vinnie that are yankee fans from the bronx, which im told isnt really hate, but doing God's work. and like Jake and Elwood....Im on a mission from God)

Morning, JB. As usual, you've got me cracking up; and being like one of the brothers Blues isn't a bad thing.

Pass me the nog, will ya?

Sam Jackson's Lovechild said...

i want to have two sons, just so they can be introduced as ..."the Blue's brothers". that would be AWESOME

Ted D said...

You name them Jake and Elwood and it'd be even better.

My son, who moved from Massachusetts to NC to escape that white crap, woke up Friday morning, and stepped outside. "WTF".
His cousin flew in from Boise, Idaho, friday afternoon. It was 54 degrees when she left Boise."WTF"

Ted D said...

Dewey, weird doesn't begin to describe seeing snow down here in November. The kids loved it though.

Krystle [RSO] said...

Wow it snowed in North Carolina before New Hampshire? That's pretty crazy. At least it's not 20 degrees with a wind chill to make it 5 degrees! Is it?

Ted D said...

Close, Krystle. It was about 25 last night and it felt like 15 accoding to the weather guy.

Sarah said...

Meh. We got about 6" of white stuff between Thursday night and Friday midday. I win. Or lose, depending how you look at it...

Ted D said...

You definitely win, Sarah. But snow in the south is pretty rare. I win for "Creative" points.

Beth said...

We missed the snow over here in TN :( Nothing like a white Thanksgiving! PS- I think that's a great picture!!

Ted D said...

Hey Beth! Sorry you missed the snow, but if it's any consolation it was gone by noon. And I love the picture too.

Sarah said...

haha, it's true. A for effort ;)

Ted D said...

Thanks for the A, Sarah!
