and you thought i was the only dork living here....

earlier this week
we had a storm that went from
rain to freezing rain to thunder to snowflakes the size of duck feathers to sleet to more snow
~
when the sky really opened up
looking like a feather pillow fight was taking place
up on our roof
my hubby said
"i'm running out and catching those flakes on my tongue"
i said
"you dork"

you didn't think i wouldn't grab my camera
did you
~
i stood inside
in my jammies
shooting the above said dork while he acted five
while i laughed out loud
i decided i didn't want him to have all the fun
so
i quickly grabbed my
"doesn't this make me look like a lumberjack"
hat
and
ran outside while he ran inside
only
to discover that the huge flakes had instantly turned to sleet
and
i was now being pelted to death
so i made an ice ball
and
threw it at my hubby
praying that i wouldn't break the window
~
it was a good sunday
at the house of dorks

Love this! I found it so hard to get good pictures that showed just how massive those snow flakes were (duck feathers...perfect!) I think the one that your hubby caught perfectly shows it!

Leslie said...

Good thing it didn't hit the camera lens! For a couple of dorks, you're pretty adorable.

Dawn said...

We should share Dork House stories in greater detail. It would take all day and all night, but we would laugh our butts off. I too live in a house of dorks. Laughter keeps us sane.♥ Here comes the newest snowstorm...

Funny and fun.

If you lived in Florida, you'd miss out on this kind of fun. A couple of very good-looking dorks!

In Muncie, Indiana, we had that same exact weather! I rushed outside to photograph the snowflakes and my environs. And...I wouldn't call either you or your cute hubby a dork because then I'd have to admit to being one. :)

These shots just make me smile!!! I love dorks!!!

texwisgirl said...

I love you dumbass dorks !

I have a hat like that but it is real fur (mink) on the outside. I call it my Russian Elmer Fudd hat. I did not buy it - it was a hand me up but it is the warmest piece of clothing I own. Need that for those storms of the century we have had a few times this year...

I think it will be over soon...then you can find other entertainment for your dorky selves.
Hugs !

Endearingly wonderful thing to share. Thank you so much! There seem to be so much negativity on the net anymore that to come across your post war a rare jewel in my day. Thanks again!
