Goodbye, Carpet {Aug. 23}

So, we lost all the carpet in our basement today from the sump pump breaking. The carpet guys said it was delaminating, so the laminate was pulling away from the carpet, leaving it unsalvageable. We're pretty crabby about it. So, they are drying out the floors and will be replacing the carpet, hopefully this week. I figure if I don't go into the basement until the new carpet is in, I'll never know it happened! I'd certainly be happier if the carpet had been old and ratty, but it was fairly new.

The extra bedroom. Mom and Dad will be staying here during Labor Day weekend. Have fun, Mom and Dad!
Our entertaining room. Who wants to come over now?
Mira had her friend Kelly over today. At least they look happy!
And here is Amelia, listening to "The Lion King" on Mira's iPod:
Hope you are all having a better weekend!

so, was any of the furniture damaged?

I don't think so. Hard to tell. Most of it had legs of some sort, so I think it was all okay, thank goodness! The water just saturated the carpet, but wasn't above it.

I'm so glad Chris went into the basement to see the Vikings last Thursday...otherwise it could have been worse(maybe)!! Remember..this will all pass soon. Easy for me to say--right!! Love the pictures of the girls...Love you all, Mom
