Monday morning, Jameson went in the backyard and found new pets. These poor frogs were just not fast enough or smart enough to hop away. Grandma poked holes in the lid for them. I was not so fond of this. I think I cleaned up 3 broken jars while there. Children, glass jars, and tile do not mix.

Jameson was so excited for his frogs, though. I tried to talk him into giving them away, but that was not happening.

Since we hadn’t really done anything together during our visit, Mom and I went out that night for pedicures. We did feel bad leaving all the kids with my step-sister, though, so Ella came with us. We had about a 30 minute wait before getting in, so we walked over to TJ Max. Ella found the doll section, and was not going to leave with out one. My mom asked what I brought for her to do while we get pedicures and my response was, “Cookies.” I thought it was a good plan, but Mom caved and bought her the doll. She did carry it through the whole store, so I guess she earned it.

After pedicures, we took Ella home, made sure all kids got to bed, and then put to use those tickets I was given when Ella wouldn’t sit through The Smurfs. We went and saw Footloose, which I highly recommend. It was fun, and cute, and stuck to the original. It actually added some parts in that helped where the original just told the story. Anyway, we did get one night of girl time, and the next day we were ready to head home. Thanks for having us!
