Flooding......yuck

So, this past week we experienced our first flood in our home. It happened in the basement and it has NOT been fun one bit. We had to take out all the carpet and hang it in the backyard to dry, then suck up all the water and all that stuff. We have a storage area under the stairs that of course had some water in there, so the stuff on the floor in there got wet, that was SO not fun. Anna's room is downstairs and she's the one who informed us of the water, she came upstairs and told Jared that there was a puddle down there. ;) So, that also meant that Anna had to move into Aiden's room until we got the carpet back in. They have never shared a room, except if we're on vacation or at Grandma and Grandpa's house, so it was very difficult to have them share for a few nights. But we survived it all! The carpet got re-layed two days ago, so it's been great having that back in. We finally put Anna's bed back in her room last night too. She really wasn't happy about it, she said she liked sharing a room with Aiden. We told her we were sorry, but it was time for her to go back to her own room. Then she said the funniest thing while Jared was putting her to bed last night:

Anna: Daddy, I like sleeping in Aiden's room.
Jared: I know you do, but you have to sleep in your room now.
Anna: Well, I hope the floor gets wet again!

Oh man I just laughed when Jared told me that, she really says the funniest things sometimes!! :) But man I hope the floor doesn't get wet again, I do not want to go through this again, it sucks! And for those of you who have gone through it, I empathize with you, it's just horrible! BUT I'm really trying to look on the bright side of things. One good thing that happened was that now I'm able to get the stuff rearranged downstairs! I kept telling Jared I wanted to through all the toys downstairs and get everything reorganized. Well, now I'm forced to do it and it really has been a great excuse! ;) It's going to be a fresh start for the basement and I'm very happy about that. Another plus is that now our carpet is all clean! We rented a shampooer and cleaned the carpet so it looks great now! :) I guess we can always see some sort of bright side with every situation.......well, mostly :)
