Daddy's Grubby Little Helper

Most parents know how proud a daddy can be as his son follows him around "helping" with the fixing and tools.  Malaki has gotten pretty good at bringing the right tools and actually helping, or rather, going to get mommy so mommy can help.
In any case, today's little helper is not Malaki, because todays project requires going under the house, which is very very dirty and "ick ick eww gross."
Our day started out by building a fire and doing some much needed burning outside, a project both kids love to help daddy do.  Then Jereme decided that he would start re-plumbing the hot water under the house since we have nearly zero water pressure.  
So he turned off the hot water and set to work under the house, Malaki hands him tools from out here, but doesn't want to go in with him.  Lillie on the other hand is a grubby mess.  She has been under the house with him nearly all day, chatting his ear off and getting caked in dirt, mud, cob webs and having a blast.  Malaki wanders in and out of the house, watching a movie for a bit, then going out and standing at the opening to go under the house where he talks with Lillie and daddy a little... yet still he won't go under.  
Korinthia got to go out for a little while and crawl in the grass which she loved, however she has a corner of her bottom tooth through and is working on getting that through the rest of the way, so she is a bit cranky.
I am going to have to run to the store because we ended up needing more part for the plumbing, and until I get them we have no hot water, which means I have been burning all day, I smell like a fire, and I can't take a shower! ick... I did get a bit of color from being out in the sun all day though!
