Enjoying vacation

The girls have school vacation this week. Last week I was trying to think of things for them to do to keep them busy and entertained while they had time off from school. It is already half way through their vacation and I have realized that they don't need me to entertain them. They have both been happy to just stay home and relax. They have been staying in their pajamas a lot. On Monday I let them put their rain gear over their pajamas so we could take Watson out for a walk. They thought that was pretty funny.

We have had a few things to do this week though. We took Watson to the vet on Monday becuase he has been limping for a few weeks now. The had to give Watson medicince to make him sleep so they could take an xray of his leg. That meant we had to kill an hour of time so I walked the girls to Hornbach. Hornbach is the Home Depot of Czech Republic. It is so similar that if you were standing in a Hornback or a home depot and didn't look at the spelling of things you would not know which store you were in! I was amazed...I wonder which came first? In any event, the nursery section of Hornback also had a lot of decorations (which I know is not in Home Depot). The girls and I chose some fall decorations and then we browsed the Christmas decorations. We decided we would need to go back with Jason to pick up some new decorations for this Christmas. We headed back to the vet to find out that Watson has a chipped bone in his shoulder joint. He is on pain meds this week and we have to bring him back next week. If he is still limping then he will need to have arthroscopic surgery to remove the chip.

Yesterday was the National Holiday as I already posted and we spent time walking around and just hanging out in our apartment. Today we had friends over for a visit. The kids had a really fun time playing and just running around crazy in the apartment. I had fun talking with my friend, Wendy. Our schedules have been so busy lately that we haven't had a lot of time to talk at pickup from school so it was nice to finally have time to talk. I was happy to learn that her husband's contract has been extended so they will be here for at least another year and a half. Unfortunately I forgot to take any pictures of the girls playing.
