There's a Mouse in the House! There's a Mouse in the House!

Sunday morning was exciting. I went to the pantry to get some cereal and noticed that it was spilled all over. So I pulled out more of the cereal and noticed mouse poop! Yuck! I started clean out everything when a little mouse ran right in front of me. Yep I screamed. And the boys come running over to see it. We couldn't find it so I continued to clean out the pantry when it ran by my feet into the front room, right under my couch.


Me and Reed tried catching the thing and ended up moving about all the furniture in my front room and dining room away from the walls as the mouse ran around the room.

Reed finally caught it!

This is where the boys watched all morning as this little event happened. They actually wanted to get down and help but I made them stay there.

It is amazing the damage a little thing like that can do. I through away about $30 worth of cereal. And I had to re-clean, yes I just cleaned out my pantry last week! But for some reason I still think the little thing was so cute and wouldn't let Reed smash it. The boys loved it! We did get rid of it we told the boys he went home to Heaven.

AHHH! I hate mice. We had one last week in our garage. But we got it too. I get some kind of sick pleasure seeing it stuck in the mouse trap.
