Last Monday...

Last Monday evening the site at our house was this...

Why you ask??? Well.. 20 minutes before this picture... we had the kiddos tucked in bed were watching the season finale of Major Crimes and during the height of the police chase... Walker yells down, "Um Mommy... I just saw a mouse!"

My first thought... he's just getting to sleep and dozed off for a second... I went up to get the details.  Walker said, "He was sitting right by the stairs and as soon as I called down to you he ran in your room!"  I didn't want to just dismiss him so I looked around didn't see anything... no signs or anything.  Pretty soon Stewart comes up and we re-check all around in our room and decide to just be on the safe side and try the cubby dormer area.  Bit by bit we take out the storage things... talking all the while about how there couldn't possibly be a mouse... we have 2 dogs and a cat and we are on the second floor of the house... no way!

And then as Stewart is reaching in for one of the last things... he says, "Oh crap there is a mouse!"

We had to come up with a way to get it... man that bugger was fast. Just as we have it cornered... it shoots right out in between us and into the middle of our room!  Stewart had some fast ninja skills to get the box over the top of it... whew!

While all of this was going on... Walker had crawled into Ainsley's bed with her... both bears are grabbed onto tightly and there was constant chatter of... "Did you get it??"  They look all fine and happy here... this was after mousie was disposed of and Daddy was making them laugh so that we could all go back to normal.

We get back down to our 5 minutes left of Major Crimes and Stewart turns to me and says, "Don't mice come in pairs??"  Off to Lowes we went and have traps set up and Decon in the garage but nothing... not a turd to be found either... so very strange!  Hopefully it was just a freak thing because I've torn up this house looking for another one and nothing.
