Help, help! I've lost my feet

Foresight is not always one of my greatest attributes. So when I thought it would be a good idea to play in my sandbox after it rained and the lid was left off, well, that turned out to be a mistake. I'm still finding mud in the house from that failed attempt at fun. So for the record, standing shin-deep in cold mud on a terribly overcast and damp afternoon is not enjoyable.
