Okay so today we had a mini flood! My mom left the dripping hose that waters her garden on and forgot about it. Well the soil got flooded and the water ended up going into our window well. When it got too full in the window well, of course it spilled out into Emilye's room. By the time my mom remembered it had been many hours. The window well was full pretty high with water and a circle of the carpet was soaked. My mom and sister, Ana worked on dumping out the water on the grass. I was on damage control for Em's room. I put towels on the window ledge and towels in trash cans to grab the water falling. I made a circle around the wetness with towels to make sure it didn't spread. I was running mad up and down the stars with new towel and stuff. The trash bin idea was genius by the way. My dad came home and got a WetVac from a neighbor. Right now the carpets ripped up and fans are airing out the pads under them.
The line shows how high the water came up.

holy crap, brit! that sucks...sounds like ya'll had some excitement tonight...=D
WOW! Bo - I love that you now have a blog to keep me in the loop with all the crazy things that happen in the Messerly house! I'm sure mom felt so bad leaving on that water - give her a hug for me!! :) (PS good thing it wasn't your room, right?!)
And I love that neither Britt nor I would go to the neighbors' house to borrow the wet vac...but at least I had an excuse---I had just been reading in my room when the flood struck, so I wasn't exactly properly dressed...Britty just didn't want to talk to human beings:) (Just kidding, Britt, love ya!)
