Spring Storm!

Last night, we got a HUGE Spring storm. It was all over the news that it was coming, but I didn't really believe it. The weather guys on TV always get it wrong and it was 65 degrees yesterday mid- morning! How could it change that quickly??!

It did....

About 4:30pm yesterday, these REALLY dark clouds started rolling it, it started to rain and then quickly, it turned to snow. It was windy and just really quite surreal. We have some crazy weather in this state!

So, we spent the evening finger painting.... AJ LOVED it! We haven't done it in a long time as it's VERY messy....

While we were painting, the snow was coming down..FAST! And the lights were flickering. I have to admit, it was a little scary to me! AJ thought it was funny :)

This morning, AJ woke up at 5:30am (UGH!!!) and we had probably a foot of snow outside. There was ice stuck to the sides of the houses. It's crazy to think that just yesterday we were playing on the deck and now I had to shovel a path just so Buster could go out to potty!

We spent the morning playing, reading, drawing, playing play doh, watching the neighbors use the snow blowers and waiting for the electricity to come back on. Yep, we lost it for a few hours starting at about 6:30am. It was still dark outside! AJ didn't understand why he couldn't watch Winnie The Pooh- he kept asking for him :) And he'd point at the lights and ask (in his own words) what the heck just happened!

It was a long morning- especially since it started out so early- but we had a lot of fun together. We had to get creative. At one point, we took a bath together and AJ thought it was the funniest thing to pour a cup of water over my head...again and again and again :)

Now, the power is back and the snow is melting. I love Colorado!
