Rainy DayS

August is Southeast Alaska's rainy season and the start of fall. We have had so much rain constantly. It has made the kids a little stir crazy. 

Saturday during a break in the rain we ran outside to play. Lance wanted to practice casting his fishing pole. I told him that would be ok as long as he stayed to the side away from everyone. Well, he was away from everyone but Happy decided to run rite through the line which pulled it tight and hooked her belly. Play time was over! I tried to get the hook out myself, but Happy wouldn't have it. I loaded up the kids and the dog and took her to the vet. The Doctor took a look at it while Happy sat in the car. She felt very confident that she could have it out in no time at all. She ran in to grab a few utensils. I car pulled up so fast and a young lady jumped out screaming hysterically "someone shot my dog!" Her dad was sitting in the passenger seat holding a very bloody dog. It was nuts! Just like that our quick trip to the vet turned into an hour long. Once the doctor had everything under control she took care of Happy. The hook was barely in, so she was able to get it out with no problem. Goodness what an ordeal this turned out to be!

This week I have been at a stand still with packing. I still am using everything so I can't pack up anymore. I have just been doing some deep cleaning so the house is spotless when we move out. I have had lots if last minute things to get done though, which included a trip to the vet for happy's vaccines. 

Happy was pretty nervous this time going to the vet. She kept wiggling when she was getting her vaccines. My poor little lance thought they were hurting her. He was crying and wanted to kick the doctor and her helper. This sounds awful but I was laughing. It was all just funny to me. Sometimes though you just have to laugh. Even on the way home he was saying "I'm gonna call the police on them!" I explained to him that she need stud shots or she would get bad sick and die. 

Remember how I said the kids have been getting a little stir crazy. Well, yesterday they were extra crazy. Or maybe I was just a little bit irritable after Having my wisdom tooth pulled first thing in the morning. They kept fighting which is not the normal for them. I knew we had to get out of the house and burn up some of that energy. We decided to go the gym. The kids always love the play center there plus momma can get some alone time. 

After they burned up some energy and calmed down we went to one of the kids favorite place, the library. 

Lance quickly went to the Curious George section. He loves George!

Look how big my baby girl looks standing on a stool picking out her own book.

We are enjoying our last few days here in Eagle River. Daddy should be home this weekend to spend some time with us. The Alaska state fair started today so hopefully we get a chance to go with daddy this weekend.
