A Creature Was Stirring


Tonight we discovered a mouse was in our house. Sara found some droppings while cleaning the kitchen and then while cleaning the living room we discovered more droppings behind our couch. And then the mouse was climbing on our couch.

After several loud screams we got together a plan. We had the mouse cornered and I was armed with a trash basket and Sara was armed with the vacuum. As we moved in I tried to get the trash basket over the mouse while Sara came in with the vacuum. And vacuum the mouse up we did.

As we took the vacuum outside to empty it out we discovered the mouse was still alive and he ended up running off into the night.

Joseph helped with the hunting of the mouse and Kallsen thought the whole ordeal was lots of fun. Parker slept through the hunt.

Ahhh!!! I guess mice are a part of life, but I never liked having mice in my house! Sounds like quite the adventure!

I too am glad the mouse survived - but, ewwww. We had a mouse in the house a few years ago (funny story, less than flattering to me, goes with it).

I am sure it was quite the adventure for all involved but, like Parker, I would have preferred to sleep through it.
