Did you check out my post http://gaylebong.blogspot.com/2010/11/orphan-block-tutorial-part-1.html. Kinda late for this one but maybe a tip or two for future projects.

You've nailed your block placement so far. I too have a design floor and leaping kids but sometimes I just cover everything over with a big blanket and leave it there!
