We learned two things with this most recent flooding event:
- Our neighbor's shop-vac has a hole in the bottom of it.
- Seeing our basement flood may have been the highlight of Matt's entire year.
We put the boys into a baby-gate secured area (not that Matt couldn't thwart the gate if he wanted) and proceeded to clean up the mess. All to Matt's running dialogue from upstairs:
"Mommy, I never see a flood before!"
"Matt, you need to stay up there."
"A real flood! I need see it!"
"STAY THERE, Matt."
"We build a boat?"
"No, we don't need a boat. God didn't make this flood, the water heater did."
"Oh. Good. We don't have giraffe."
Vacation Bible School ought to be interesting this year!

Oh! My! Goodness!
I'm so glad you write these things down! I'm picturing that being told at the Rehearsal Dinner the night before his wedding!
I mean, we can't have a flood and an ark without a giraffe!
Sorry about the mess... ugh.

It was quite the flood! Luckily the water heater wasn't truly broken- it was a pressure overflow valve that broke. So we had a very wet basement, but it was only $75 to fix! The kids thought it was the BEST entertainment ever.
