Handprints

We extended our patio in the backyard and Ben really wanted the kids to be able to put their hands in the concrete so they could have their handprints there forever.

It didn't really work that well because right after Danika got her hands done it was Colben's turn. She wanted to watch so she walked across the wet concrete so we had to hurry and take her inside to wash off the mud and grass, then we had to go next door and tell the guys who were working on some concrete over there what happened so one of the workers came over and smoothed it all down- including the kids' handprints!!

Then later that day the wind was blowing really hard and it blew both of our garbage can lids onto the cement. When I got home I totally freaked out thinking they were going to be stuck but they weren't but it did leave permanent circle marks on our brand new cement!!

Oh well, at least I got pictures of what would have been really cool!
