Final February Fun

 March has arrived, and at long last, we have launched the remodel of our master bed and bath-- so we are certainly about to be busy.  However, we wrapped up February with a bit of fun in preparation for a March packed with more work than play.

Last weekend we took a day trip up to PA near Lancaster to meet up with the cousins for lunch and tour of the dairy that makes Turkey Hill Ice Cream.  Food was great and the kids had a blast in the ice cream lab, making their very own flavor.

Outside the restaurant.  For those in the area, Railroad House Inn was super delicious -- we recommend!

World's biggest bovine?

How could they resist -- Dad's favorite flavor -- butter pecan.  Fun Fact: butter pecan is the most sold flavor of Turkey Hill ice cream.  And we could see why when we taste tested it!

At the flavor machine.

Waiting for our turn in the ice cream lab.

About to make our own flavors.


Then, this week at Simone's school was Dr. Suess/March for Fine Arts Week.  They had different themes and activities every day, but here were Simone's two favorites...


On crazy hair day, Simone turned her top knot into a birds nest complete with  "robin eggs" -- so springy!

Simone also put her own outfit together for Dress Like a Suess Character Day.  

And that was our week.  Today we got a surprise day off due to the intense winds, and took the opportunity to do some drapery shopping.  Yep, that's what our short term future holds.  But no fear, we won't be ALL work and no play!
