Saturday (bonus day of construction)

Today was a pretty uneventful day. Our contractor came out and poured the footings to the new addition. seems so big to look at it now..They are hoping to set the blocks on Monday. We may run into delays since they are calling for rain all next week. I was in hopes they would be able to get the new roof on and siding back on before the next rain.
Can you imagine what a mud pit this will be if we get much rain???
Anyone have any good suggestions how to keep 3 kids between the ages of 10 to 5 out of the mud, especially AFTER it rains???

Oh my gosh, all that I can say is that when we bought our home and the yard was dirt...WHAT A MESS! I mopped every other day. If you have a mall nearby with a play area, take them there...

No suggestions of how to keep them out of the mud, just keep a hose by the back door and hose them off as they come into the house, that's what I would do ha ha. Don't forget my motto, it can be cleaned, you only live once.

The addition is getting there hon, I'm so excited for you.

Would you like for me to bring the girls out & let them show the kids all of the things they can do with all that dirt??? LOL It wouldn't take them long to be completely covered! At least the clothes & floors can be cleaned.... just enjoy the dirty finger/footprints for now. Some day you'll miss seeing them around the house!
