Going Outside in Spring (ahhhh the mess!!)

[mickyc]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!! I am really struggling with what to do still lol. We can't go out twice as the kids stuff is too wet from the first time and if I go out in the afternoon chances are 1 or 2 of my kids misses out on it or gets a very limited amount of time.

I am hoping this heat continues (supposed to be 10 today!!) and all this water dries up. My yard is so wet and the driveway is so muddy!! I have a mat at the back door but the worst is the dried grass that gets all over it. This morning I got up and my husband's muddy boots had left dried mud everywhere on the mat!! Sigh....I just feel like I am fighting a loosing battle lol.

We went out this morning. UGH...the kids were soaking wet and covered in dead grass. I took off their outerwear one at a time outside. I left all their stuff outside. I am hoping the parents take the hint and don't bring it inside (had 2 mom's bring in their child's dirty boots yesterday when they picked up). Hurry up summer! I can't wait! LOL
