Sanity fading........

This is day three of hammers and air compressors. Our sanity is fading and our nerves are completely on edge. We are having the roof replaced due to storm damage. Ugh.

While we are very glad to be getting a new roof, the process tries every ounce of patience we have. In addition to the noise, the kids' outside time has been seriously limited, because even though the roofers are cleaning as they go, there are still shingles and nails flying about intermittently.

So, anyway, we are having to mostly play inside. Big hat tip to Kathleen for this great idea. Painting the bathtub! Just get a cheapo can of Barbasol shaving cream, put the kids in the tub, and let them have at it!


By the time we got to this point, they were slipping and sliding and giggling like crazy. It was a hoot. Then, I gave them a couple of cups to help "clean" the tub, and that kept them busy for another 30 minutes.

Yeah, it was a little messy, and there were some extra towels to wash. But that stuff is totally worth it.

And I will be so glad to get back to peace and quiet around here!
