Rainy Days and Monday. Eew.

Just to be clear about the pictures from yesterday with Pearl and the vacuum cleaner - she is NOT being attacked, she is the attacker. She's obsessed with the vacuum and leaf blower and it's impossible to get either done with her around. The leaf blower is worse, she positions herself directly in front of it and all you end up doing is blowing the dog's cheeks out. It's hard to make her stop as it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my whole life and you end up just standing there laughing (I'm including some pictures from last year). She loves to wrestle with Jackson and comes flying straight at him to get the game started - he gets annoyed with it sometimes ,but she's pretty persistant and he ends up participating whether he likes it or not. I heard from Adam this morning, he'll be flying into Washington on the 8th and then will be flying into NY around the 19th - just a little warning Grandma Connie. I finally did get in the pool yesterday - it was GREAT. And this year I think we'll get more use out of it because last year it was halfway through July before we could use it because we had to have the liner redone. I've been scrubbing down the furniture and leaf blowing when I can sneak it by Ghengis Pearl. I'm off to work this morning, but at least I'm not missing the weather.
