Grammy's House

On Tuesday, Jacob and I went for a visit to Grammy's house. Jacob loves Grammy's house because of all the spoiling he gets. He loves to play with Nick, Allie, Maggie and Mikey (mom's 4 Maltese dogs) and he always has about 10 boxes of Animal Crackers waiting for him when we get there. My pantry, needless to say, is always well stocked with his favorite snack! Grammy had a mission for this visit. She took us to target in search of some Little People toys for Jacob to have when he is visiting. (She had already purchased a dump truck with legos for him) We were very successful, and we even found some wooden cars for him. I bought 4 to take home to Pearland, and Grammy HAD to buy the same four for Jacob to play with at her house! I call that S-P-O-I-L-E-D! So now Jacob has a basket of toys to play with at Grammy's house. Not that he needed any.......Grammy keeps him plenty entertained all by herself! We love you, Grammy! Here are some pics:

And, while Jacob rested, Grammy and I "shopped" around in her house for goodies (she has lots of cool stuff that she sells in her Ebay store). See the pretty earrings!

My Blog................boring!

According to my good friend Natalie, my blog is a place to visit when you are..........BORED! Thanks Natalie. I am going to assume she is just telling me gently (hah!) that I don't update my really cool and interesting blog as often as she would like......so here's the Manda update:

1. Hubby is out of town with teenagers from church.
2. I am doing my best to stay busy 'cause I miss him.
3. I have found a recipe for homemade laundry soap that I am going to try..........I know. I am soo cool.
4. Ryan, Jacob and I went on a mini vacation to Sea World San Antonio, but it stormed the whole time and we were stuck in the hotel.
5. Jacob told me to "be patient mommy" at the restaurant today.
6. My best friend Laura, after us arguing about why I thought she shouldn't waste here time organizing her girls' toys, explained to me that if she didn't, they wouldn't play with them ...............CORRECTLY!
7. I have been trying to go to the YMCA to exercise (because I have realized there is no excuse for not going.......child care, AC, a cable TV on every cardio machine!), and have reaffirmed my original reason for not wanting to exercise..............it HURTS!

Okay, now a few pics:
