February Vacation Week

I am typing on my new computer!! So exciting to be able to go from website to website in a matter of seconds and type on my blog with out a long delay. It is amazing. We were way over due!! I tried to blog the other day and it took me half an hour to type it all out. I was just about to click to post what I had typed and my computer blacked out on me. Ugh! No more of that! I did manage to get a new picture on the top of the blog. I took that this past weekend. Yes, we had more snow and even more yesterday and into the night. We will still have snow in our front yard in June. I just know it!!

So we are off this week for our Winter Break. We haven't done much but managed to get the girls hair cut. Yesterday we went to a place called, Bounce U. It was a building with tons of bounce things like bounce houses. They had all sorts of slides and things to climb on. We spent an hour in one room and then they took us in another room for another hour. It was great!!! The girls ran around and jumped for two hours. We went with some friends so they enjoyed being with friends and I enjoyed catching up with my friends as well. They haven't been able to be outside much this Winter so it was great to have the kids just let loose for two hours. They were exhausted when we left. The nice thing about this place was that it was CLEAN. It even smelled clean. I still made the girls wash their hands when we got home and take a shower before bed.

Today we head down to Burlington, Mass. to our favorite mall. We will meet up with my aunt and cousin and her little boy, Brady. We do this every Winter and Spring break and really look forward to it. We always enjoy it. It is such a bonus to live near them!!

The only other new news we have here is that Todd has signed up to be on the Merrimack ballot for the April 8th elections for School Board Budget Committee. There are 4 seats open. We will find out soon how many people have signed up. It isn't a huge commitment but a good way to get involved. He will have to be at all the meetings and probably need to attend most of School Board meetings so he knows what is going on. If he makes it that will be awesome but if he doesn't that is ok too. If more than 4 or 5 people sign up we may have to get some lawn signs. I will campaign from my computer with emails out to everyone I know in town. Very exciting!!

So that is all for now. As soon as I can get my pictures on my new computer I will post more pictures.
