Spring Break Fun Continued...

Our bathroom "remodeling" woes continue, but we didn't let that ruin our Spring Break. The girls did have to put up with more trips to home improvement stores than they would have liked and staying home when the plumber and custom shower door guy came, but they were rewarded.

One of our favorite activities as of late is going ice skating. As some of you have noticed, we've also gone roller skating a couple times recently, but we've decided that we actually like ice skating the very best. Unfortunately, we have to drive a little farther for this activity. Our favorite venue so far is in Sherwood - about a 1/2 hour drive away. (But a pretty drive - see my entry later in the blog).

We noticed a big improvement in the girls' ability to skate this time around. It made the whole time even more enjoyable. Sarah can almost skate as fast as Herb* and I can. Natalie is getting better and Angela lets us skate around with her in between our legs.

Check out a couple cute videos below of our outing.

Our other special outing with the girls was going to see Monsters vs. Aliens on opening night! Wow - we felt fancy. We hardly ever go to the theater and never on opening night. I worried about getting there early to get seats. It turns out we didn't have to fight too hard with the 8-10 other people in the theater. (o: Apparently 5:00 isn't a busy time to see a movie. The girls loved the movie. I enjoyed B.O.B., but Herb* and I both agreed it wasn't the greatest animated film we've seen. We won't be buying the DVD, but it was fun to do for a family outing. Much better than Coraline as far as age appropriate-ness goes. (O:

All in all it was a nice spring break - we loved having Herb* home and all being together and SLEEPING IN! Oh do we miss that part! Monday after spring break was a killer! Even though we didn't go anywhere fancy - we had so much fun together. We didn't save any money due to the bathroom adventures, but hey - we'll have a nicer bathroom to show for it someday. I hope.

Check it out - it's Herb*!
