Spring has (not) sprung

The calendar officially says it's spring and after a cold snowy winter I sure wish that it felt like it outside but it doesn't.  We had 4-5 inches of the white stuff on Friday, while it was very pretty I'm over it!   According to my weather app on my phone there might be more "wintery mix" and snow on the way:(  It's time almost time for daffodils and Easter, so come on Mother Nature!

The boys had a fun week followed by a long weekend.  Today, I took off and the boys and I went to The Roads and Rails Museum in Frederick.  They had a huge model train display, as well as lego trains.  The boys enjoyed it and their first visit to Chick Fil a (and playground)...which Brennan said they have cows on their pictures why isn't it Cow Fil a, haha.  Today, I told him that Nate was in Holidaysburg for work and he said, "Why is it called that do they have a holiday everyday?"  I think he wanted to move there until I told him no.  Saturday, when we were driving through the center of Greencastle he said "Here's the town square but it should be called the town circle!"  That boy, he never stops thinking!!  He told Nate the other day (when Nate asked him if he knew that he talked a lot) that there's "Just so much in his head that he needs to get it all out there."  Jace is just as much of a character.  Yesterday, he put his shoes on and said "bye, bye."  When I asked where he was going he said "To Chambersburg, to eat!"  After much discussion on his vitamin yesterday, Nate finally gave up and left him start eating his regular food.  After a few minutes of eveyone just sitting there eating, Jace proclaimed, "Got my way!"  Oh boy....

How did I get so lucky?!  In our green on St. Patty's day


Finally the snow had all melted and we were left with a mud pit but Jace was glad to be outside!



This is wrong...looking through the boys Easter stickers at snow!!
Then this happened....

It was beautiful




I'm going to send this to Heinz...."how do you do happy?"  Dipping his hard boiled egg in ketchup!  It was not just a one time thing...he ate 2 like this over the weekend!

Painting big Easter eggs


Jace worked very hard at his...he ended up with a brown egg after all of his mixing of colors.

Ta Da, pretty good if you ask me!

Coloring eggs, Jace didn't want to participate, he just wanted to eat hard-boiled eggs.

Out to dinner...why not sit in the window.  We didn't go to Chambersburg though!

This was a good save by Mama...we were supposed to go to Skyzone but they are closed on Mondays.  I googled trains and some surrounding towns and found the Roads and Railways Museum.  You can tell by his face that it was a good find!

HUGE set up!

Complete with volcano



Lots of buttons to push:)
 

My favorite display the amusement park...
