We've had some lovely days recently, which is nice after all the wind and rain we've had. Hubs had the dirt dug out around the base of the crawlspace on the west side of the house, Sunday it was raining so much the water was flowing merrily into the basement from the crawlspace. We had about an inch of water on the basement floor. So today and yesterday made up for it with sunny skies and upper sixties in the temps, the last gasp before winter starts bombarding us. From what I've heard from people who watch animals, we've got a bad winter coming up, animals know this crap, apparently. Hubs covered the wrap on the west side of the house with foam insulation today and got the new windows all sealed up. Then the dirt got shoveled back against the house, so hopefully we won't have an indoor pool in the basement again.
WE was happy for the nice weather as well. His cross-country coach is out of town this week and he's got someone else running things. The sub sent the kids off running and followed them in his car the last two days. Today, he felt they could be trusted to do their running, so he just let them go. Silly man. As soon as the kids were out of sight, they headed off to the woods and played in the creek (in Wisconsin, that's pronounced "crick"). They had made a makeshift bridge a different time they were slacking off during practice, so they worked on making it sturdier. Two kids fell in. I would "think" the sub would wonder why kids were coming back from their run all wet, we'll see if he hops back in his car tomorrow and starts trailing them again.
