FLOOD!

The weekend it rained so hard--June 6--our basement flooded :( Our pump was clogged up with leaves and pine needles (unbeknownst to us). The water just poured in through the window in Nathan and Daniel's room. We ended up having to rip out and replace the padding under the carpet. The room is now back to "normal"--the carpet is down but now officially stretched. It looks fine, though. It took about 2 weeks to get everything fixed and washed and cleaned up (thank you, Kelly, for helping with laundry!). It was too crazy at the time to take pictures, but I did get some of the kids sleeping. Haven slept through the whole thing! The boys helped a lot, especially Daniel and Peter. There are no pictures of them sleeping because they stayed awake and helped! Tom and I were up until about 4am--on a Saturday night!
