three blind mice....or so...

Mouse Trap with cheese - isolated on white photo
we have a mouse problem. We noticed this little mouse because he kept leaving droppings on my counter in the kitchen, and because he was eating my no-bake-cookies! (horror of all horrors). Mouse poison has already been laid under the house, but apparently it is not doing the trick. We proceeded to buy a glue trap, and the next morning, lo and behold, a glue trap with a bunch of mouse hair on it. And this rodent is still doing its deed on my counter tops. J even baited the mouse with no-bake cookie pieces, to no avail. So we resorted to the mouse trap that kills - duh duh dun! So we were sitting in the living room watching a movie and all of a sudden SNAP CLANG! Took me a minute before I realized what had happened, and then J went and checked; we got the sorry little SOB! We left a couple of traps out just for good measure, but we were fairly certain there was only one (my mom promised there would be more, but I did not want to believe her). Next night, sitting in the living room and SNAP! what the?
and yes, we got another (this one looks like it is a mommy that had to abandon her babies cuz daddy did not bring home the bacon...or no-bake cookies)....and so on and so forth. Now we have added up 4 dead mice, but I'm not so sure that is the end of the story.

wait a minute....what was that I hear?.... :)

LMAO! Horror of all horrors! Shock and amaze! Tell John to stop wasting No Bake Cookies. For the love of all that is sacred, mail those cookies to me!

Good luck with the rest of your miceys. They are sneaking little buggers. I still feel sad when they are dead in the trap though ... if only they understood ultimatums.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
