Caden lost is first tooth tonight.

Picture to come...

After Joe goes to sleep, I guess I'll be making that tooth pillow I intended to make before his tooth came out. Oops... Oh well, it will get lots more use!!

Exciting! I guess the toothfairy was very busy last night ;)

This is the Delta Portico at Opryland Hotel - It was/is under at least 10 FEET of water. Unbelievable. The Cascades Portico is/was also under 10 Ft ....

This is 2nd Avenue - Downtown

Country Music Hall of Fame

1st Avenue North/ Jefferson Street Bridge

Oprymills Mall and Gaylord Opryland Hotel in background

That is CRAZY.

by be_with_me_lord at 05/04/10 3:27PM
That is truly unbelievable.

Flooding at some apartments

Firemen pumping water out of the lot!!

Blue Level Road was flooded last night... it was scary how much water we drove through to get to West End! We found out later that we could have cut through a subdivision and avoided it, but still. Yikes.

I forgot to mention, the basement of our church building had 2 inches of water in it Sunday morning.

by mrs_worm at 05/03/10 9:52AM
we were in owensboro all weekend and came home late last night and had to divert through industrial park.
and wow, has the basement EVER flooded at parkway?

by tu_madre at 05/03/10 10:06AM
I'm thankful you are okay :)

by be_with_me_lord at 05/03/10 10:17AM
We've had issues with water coming in the farthest basement door (the ramp) before - and the carpet getting soaked, maybe up to the first door in the main hall, but nothing much more than that. Having 2 inches at the base of the steps (don't know how much was at the other end) was definitely a HUGE ordeal!

by mrs_worm at 05/03/10 10:24AM
nothing like the building in Tville - all the way up to the 4th step - couldn't get to the basement floor

by emilygraham at 05/03/10 6:52PM
Wow! That's a lot of water! :(

by mjintexas at 05/03/10 7:26PM
heh, I didn't pick songs till after I got there...

Diffuser Came Today! (if you haven't heard much about using oils, this won't be very interesting - Sorry!!!)

at 04/30/10 2:37PM

My Young Living essential oil diffuser came today. Along with some more Lemon Oil to put in my water (YUM) and some bottles of Lavender Oil and Citrus Fresh (also not bad in water). Yay!

Now if only I had something better to diffuse to help little man's coughing that kept us up ALL NIGHT. Poor thing. Peppermint, Thieves, and the ones listed above are the only ones I have available right now. My oil list just keeps growing!!!

So far I want/need:
R.C. or Raven (not sure which is better .. suggestions?)
Peace and Calming
Joy
Oregano

You're speaking a foreign language here, Rachel.

by split_rock at 04/30/10 2:43PM
Haha -- I know ... sorry.^

by mrs_worm at 04/30/10 2:57PM
I like both Thieves and Joy; those are the only ones I have. I have bought lavender before (was trying something in E's hair), but I got it at Mustard Seed Market in Akron, not from YL (sorry, Donna! didn't need full-strength for her hair :)). I love oils too! :) Let us know how the diffuser works for you.

Seriously, Is this not the COOLEST idea?? My only drawback is almost not wanting to get rid of the boxes the games come in.. Anyone else like that??
Game Board Storage Art

You use sticky hooks and zip lock bags for the pieces to the games and attach to the back!

It's not just art, it's PLAYABLE art! And frees up space from all those boxes of board games..

My husband and I did that with Scrabble once. We spelled out cool things about family (no kids at that time). It was fun to do and cool looking, too!

by kaceyatthebat at 04/24/10 9:56PM
Yeah^ But yours wasn't still "playable" right? This version is still playable... and actually probably would get played more often this way I'm thinking.

by mrs_worm at 04/24/10 10:18PM
But that's a cute idea also about the scrabble..

by mrs_worm at 04/24/10 10:28PM
If it's playable, that's a bonus. No need to store the box! Use it to store something else or recycle it? (Or if you burn things, use it as kindling?)

by curlie at 04/24/10 10:43PM
I think board games would look wonderful on a wall. If you don't want to part with yours, buy some at a garage sale.

I'm always pleased to hear that one of my songs is being used by others. Thanks for letting me know.

by didow at 04/24/10 11:03PM
I was thinking garage sale as well.

by be_with_me_lord at 04/24/10 11:20PM
Thank you for the info....and the above is a great idea...love it. Looks like you are quite creative and a good "re-cycler".....way to go!

by ginnyann at 04/26/10 6:42AM
my sister did that for my parents for christmas. framed a scrabble board and then spelled out all of our family members' names on the board

by tu_madre at 04/26/10 11:44AM
That is fun!
