Going Outside in Spring (ahhhh the mess!!)

[mickyc]

3rdtimesacharm - where do you leave their clothing? Do you leave it outside? I don't have a deck but a huge cement pad. That is where I got the kids to take their boots off. I left them outside. I brought all of their outdoor clothing in though and hung it up in my basement (where I have all their hooks). The part I hate is the clothes dry and the dead grass gets everywhere.

You would think parents would have common sense but certain one's of mine don't lol. I had to put up a note in winter saying to take shoes off at the back door. I have had issues with parents wearing their shoes down the stairs. You would also think that by leaving the kids boots outside that it means they are too dirty to bring in. I guarantee you today that some of the parents will bring them in when they pick up the kids! lol

Another issue I find is that kids go home with their wet mitts in their back packs and they never get hung up to dry at home.
