Spring Break!!!

We were so sad to see our hometown girl get kicked off of American Idol. I think she just picked the wrong song. She has a great voice, and I hope it is not the last we hear from her!!

The kids are on Spring Break....we still have snow on the ground, and a ton of dog poop!!!! I can't believe how many Christmas decorations we see around town! We have had so much snow everything has been buried for months!

The girls and I decided to leave on Thursday and go to the Mall of America. We walked for hours, and the girls went to the indoor amusement park. We had a great time, but we were so glad to get home. Praise the Lord for GPS!! I would never find my way without it. Isabelle has a great sense of direction, believe me she did not get that from me!! What did I do without my GPS!!! It gives me security....even though it directed me to the incorrect hotel!!!! Ours was just two blocks down the street. I am such a home body, and I am teaching my kids the same thing. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing! We also went to the IKEA store......that place is overwhelming.....I couldn't even concentrate!!!

Grant and Jim left for Jupiter, Fl. to watch the St. Louis Caridinals spring training. They were both so excited they couldn't sleep all week. Jim would rather drive, so Grant had the whole back seat set up with his bedding, a TV, all his game player systems, and no sisters to bother him. He is in heaven!!!! I just talked to Jim and they were in traffic in Atlanta. They are going to keep driving until they reach to their destination!

Hope we see the sun this week. We are supposed to have some flooding, so I hope it is not as bad as it was a few years ago!!!
