And thats Utah for you

I am a pretty lazy blogger but today I knew I had to post when I woke up and looked outside I was so shocked, it was snowing! Now yes I know I live in Utah and yes I know it snows here, but its officially spring and Easter is over. The forecast did say flurries and a drop in temperatures, but the 60's we had all last week and over Easter weekend gave me a false sense of security that the snow was done with. The temperatures are high enough that it won't stick on the streets, but it is sticking on my newly blossomed daffodils and on my starting to green up grass. One thing you can say is that the weather here is not predictable or boring. Arizona had great weather all winter and freakin' hot weather all summer, but you pretty much knew what you were going to get. The truth is if it fluctuated between 105 to 115 it didn't really matter that much it was still hot and sunny. I never watched the weather there, unless the seasons were changing and I was hoping for the temps to drop, oh around Halloween or Thanksgiving. I watch the weather here pretty religiously. When I saw the snow outside I had to
take some pictures and pause in my laziness to blog about it.

Here are my daffodils and sprouting tulips with snow all over them

The kids begged me to get out Easter decorations which I have very little of. Ashlin and Alex took their baskets and started putting them on their heads. Then Sam caught on. His basket is tiny and makes it look like a monkey in a marching band. Don't worry that was the last minute basket I could find for him last year, but this year he has a bigger one. It was perfect last year for a one year old though. I especially like the way the tag is still on and falls in front of his face.

I think the brand is Crayola- they came out with a new kind of sidewalk art using paint instead of chalk. It washes off and out of clothes too. The kids got a set to share for an Easter present. They loved it. Alex has a goal to pain the entire driveway in. Because of this we went through the full 2 bottles within an hour. That was Sunday. Well on Monday Sam couldn't stop asking for more paint. He remembered it out of the blue. So Sam and I had to go back to the store to buy more- each bottle is just under $2. Worth it to me because the kids have so much fun with it. As you can see the snow is going to help clean the driveway. It looks like Alex is going to have to start over again and I will be needing to buy A LOT more paint:).
