By flooding it.
Yes, she did.
After dinner last night, I sent the kids down to their rooms to get ready for bed. This was followed by cries of "Mum! Dad!" Come quick!"
When you have a child with epilepsy this always, always sends your heart racing, and makes our feet move faster than the speed of light.
But (thankfully) it was not that.
Little Alice has a thing for the bath. She loves it. There is nothing on this earth that she loves to do more than take a bath. So . . . note to self . . . if I ever hear her ask again on a non-bath-night, for a bath, go and check the bathroom immediately. Otherwise, this might happen . . .
The big kids got into it - helping collect the water and throw it out the window. My husband said he now knows why his father put drains in the floor in their bathrooms. With 7 children, maybe they'd had an experience like this once.
So this tale will go down in the Annals of Alice - Year 2. And we are off to town to hire the contraptions we need to dry our very wet wool carpet (the house is smelling very woolly). And I have loads and loads of towels to put through the washer and dryer - unless the sun decides to show itself today.

Oh no! We did this a couple of months back when it was freezing cold. I probably wouldn't have minded so much in the warm, it took ages to dry out! Floor drains sound a very good idea! Happy washing, hope the sun comes out and its a good drying day!
oh no! I regularly "wash" the floor myself...but because I don't check to see if the laundry sink is blocked when using the washing machine. Arrrg!
Sorry to hear that you carpets are wet too. Yes, Drains sound like a good plan!
(((hugs))) Things can only get better, huh?
Oh boy - the two's have hit!
Love Leanne
I hope the carpet dries out quickly!!! At least you have some tile too!!! Silly Alice!!!!
Haha - sorry, shouldn't laugh, but having met your vivacious Alice, I can picture her having a party in the bathroom :-)
