Low key evening

We had a low key evening around here which was really nice. Hailey and I packed out bags for Texarkana and made Lasagna. She hasn't been eating or drinking the past few days so we broke out some Pedilyte pops trying to give her some fluids. She enjoyed the orange and blue but the purple was really salty. I'm not sure how many she really ate looking at the floor and her highchair tray but hopefully she got a little. I gave her lasagna as well tonight but I think she played more than anything. Her tray was still full but she has sauce on her face.
After bath time, it took her 3 hours to fall asleep. THREE HOURS! She was exhausted but kept fighting it. Finally around 10, she crashed but I'm sure she'll be up shortly. I pray that she sleeps through the night since the last three nights we have been up for 2-3 hours. Oh well, if she doesn't then she'll sleep in the car in the morning.
Hailey and I are heading to Sulphur Springs for lunch and then on to Texarkana for dinner at Zapata's and to visit family. We're pretty excited and THRILLED to have a break from the dogs. Sad huh? Copper, the black lab, barks non-top without his bark collar and tracks MUD all over the house when he comes in for kennel time. Seriously, our carpets are TERRIBLE and we've only been here a short time. I'm embarrassed to have people over because of it. I have used carpet cleaner and Oxy spray and it somewhat comes out but it happens ALL THE TIME. And not to mention the dog hair. I sweep, vacuum and mop daily. I actually sweep the kitchen two to three times depending on if they are in or not. Like if it rains, they stay in their kennels (they are LARGE KENNELS and they can sit, lay and play) and go out every couple hours. Well I sweep each time they go out and use the shop vac to vacuum it up. I try to only mop once daily but if they get muddy or Hailey gets a lot of food on the floor, i do it more. I guess you can say I am very anal about it but seriously who wants to visit my house and have white and white lab hair everywhere??? Copper isn't a bad dog, just doesn't want to be a dog and wants to be a human. He would be the happiest dog ever if I let him become and inside dog. Tanner on the other hand is sweet and watches Hailey through the glass door. He just adores her and will go straight to his kennel when he comes in. I just have to make sure he can see any of Hailey's toys or he'll run and grab them instead of going to the kennel. Okay, my vent it over but kids are WAAAAYYYYYY easier than dogs. I can handle being peed, pooped and puked on. I think I am going to shave the dogs, it might help huh? Any ideas??

A camping area we went and checked out close to our house.. Didn't look like too many people swim there but very nice camp sites... like I'm a camper and know they bad sites look like. :)

First taste of the salty purple pop

As you can see, she is feeling MUCH better. I chopped out bananas to see if she would eat those. I found them between her legs. She hides stuff down in her highchair!
