The Flood

We have been in Arkansas, well I have, since the Fourth of July so just over a month and we have had a lot of adventures. The most recent, and troubling is that our apartment flooded! And, since they think it may be a foundation issue could possibly happen again. If it does happen again we'll be moved to a different apartment so cross fingers its a drainage problem they can easily fix so we don't have to move again so soon. And so we can have our home back to normal!
Our entry way and kitchen were a puddle when we woke up Thursday morning.

 It got into the bathroom as well and soaked all the rugs, plus the towels we used to keep it from spreading and further.
They ended up using six fans, (all still blowing loudly and smelling like old dirty water.)

Our room. closet, and hallway all had to have the carpet pulled up and the pad removed. Fans for two days and open nail tack along all the walls makes for....

...furniture smashed into the back rooms and having to find ingenious ways to entertain Asher and keep him away from the intriguing front half of the house. He is a champ though and is willing to pretend being entertained for his mom. I can see in his little face he is going crazy not being able to roam where ever. 

Though he has found some interesting places to stay busy that he's never been interested in before, like under the bathroom sink-luckily its all his stuff and towels anyway and I was in there with him the whole time. I didn't help him find it, empty it, or get in though!
