Uninvited Guest

My mom is going to love today's post.

On Sunday I was in the kitchen putting things into the crock pot for dinner later, when I turn around and there is a mouse hiding by the fridge.  It saw me and ran back behind, so I grabbed the camera and waited for a minute.  Out it comes and slinks into the pantry.  I threw a towel under the door so it couldn't get out and ran to get Steven.  I really don't mind mice, they don't freak me out or anything.  I just don't like them when they are cruising my house.


Steven had to pull out everything in the bottom of the pantry to find the creature.  Paizley and Xander were all up in the festivities.

Steven decided that Yoshi needed to earn her keep so he threw her into the pantry and she caught the mouse in point two seconds.  Here she is proudly displaying her catch.  The stupid thing was still alive so she would pack it around for a couple of minutes and then let it go so she could catch it again.  I made Steven take her outside.  He let her play with it for a few more minutes and then Paizley came running inside and said, "Daddy took the tiny shovel and squished the mouse!"  I was like lovely my children are scarred forever.
