There’s my TWO’s! Who else would like to join in the fun?!?

It seems like I run and do all of the time, but never get anything “accomplished” around the house! Does anyone else have this problem? 

We are removing the bottom half of all drywall and all of the indoor/outdoor carpet downstairs because of the flood…. We have had water in our walk-in basement many times, but we’ve never had MOLD… well, we do now! And I mean, It ALL has to come out!

I have also made a few more cakes lately…. The Frog Pond for Cody’s 11th birthday and Ariel for Amber’s best friend Melissa~ She’s 24 and STILL loves princesses!

I have a funny little tale about the frog cake… Dollar tree and most other stores have carried the little bags of poison dart frogs forever… but when I went out searching for frogs for the cake I couldn’t find a toy frog ANYWHERE!! Not party supplies stores, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, Dollar Tree, Dollar General… you name it, I checked~ anyway the ONLY frogs I could find were at Dollar Tree in a Frogs Jax toy set… the frogs were the jacks and it had a bouncy ball in it… so I bought these. When I opened them for the cake, their bodies were all distorted with arms and legs pointing up and out (resembling jacks)…. so in the end, the kids and I cut most of the arms and legs off of the little critters and buried the frogs in the water, grass, etc. of the cake so you couldn’t tell they were missing their extremities!!! At the party all of the kids were wanting a piece WITH A FROG in it!! LOL~ I had to show my froggies and explain what happened to them!! Needless to say, no one ended up with a frog~ the poor dismembered things went straight in the trash!

I have enjoyed doing cakes again… it has been a long time~ not to mention the icing is YUMMY!

Yesterday Cody came up to me and asked if he could drive the Dixie Chopper…. I shuddered at the thought! That thing is so FAST and HEAVY!! I love cutting grass… but haven’t done it much since we invested in the Dixie Chopper about 3 years ago because it manhandles me!! It is a very touchy little contraption! Anyway, I told him he would have to take that up with Dad… and much to my SURPRISE he said it was OK… (although he was not real sure he had made the right decision…. )

As Cody got in the drivers seat he started getting cold feet, but we encouraged him to go ahead…. after a few short little instruction talks with Dad he was on his way!! I have to admit I was soooo impressed at how smooth his driving was because I jerked my way around that yard til I was sore back when Larry had surgery on his broken arm!

I can’t believe my little boy is on his way to becoming a MAN!

It has been a long time since I have participated in Show & Tell ….   I can’t wait to visit everyone and see what’s been going on~ 

Little Chloe found the perfect resting (nesting) spot!

The mother has since came up dead so my neighbor has moved the litter into the house… and we spend alot of time helping socialize them! LOL… they are very “human” friendly now.

To see more show and tell’s, or to participate, visit Mary Mary @ Raising4godlymen.

I took a walk down our driveway this morning to take a few snapshots of the “gulley” going down it.  As I took the time to inspect the damage and try to figure out what we are going to have to do to repair our drive before it destroys the vehicles… God sent me a little blessing to prove to me his is still in control…. He just has a way of taking care of us doesn’t he?

Here is the little blessing He sent my way:

There were two beautiful Swallowtail Butterflies fluttering around all of the water and “goop” up and down the driveway! They were so beautiful.

Then on to the task at hand…. the damage:

Some of those crevices are 2-3 feet deep! When the girls walk in them they are almost in up to their hips!  The water is still flowing through them from underground on the hill…. and we are expecting storms tonight and two or three more times this week!!

The water in the basement seems to be receding…. but, we now have mold and mildew on the drywall…. so the lower half of the walls will have to be removed and redone!

I am counting my blessings though… because it could’ve been alot worse if we were on the river, creek, streams, etc…. some of those people lost their houses, cars, and all other belongings! I pray that their situations can be resolved for them soon.
