What's a Mom to do.............

We have a nice large patio off the sun room with a frame for an enclosure and an awning....... of coures because it is not actually enclosed it is just an eyesore. We temporarily closed it in with lattice so the small kids wouldn't run right into the pond when they were outside. Since they know how to open the sliding doors and have a habbit of getting out when mommy isn't paying attention (or in the bathroom), we needed a solution to keep them away from the water. This idea was a pretty good one until it rained.............. The enclosure frame acts as a barrier so that water doesn't run off the edge of the patio when it rains creating a pool of water about 2 inches deep.........................................It usually takes a couple of days for the water to dry up. Well, Abby and Sammy unlocked the sliding door and waited for the right moment to slip out and of course, had the time of their lives...........
What is a mom to do but get the camera and watch...........So much for keeping them away from the water................................At least it is 80 degrees and mostly sunny.
