It's gotten cold out finally. which means the mice have started to seek warmer places to call their homes. this past Tuesday I happened upon a furry little rodent scampering across the floor of the Station (the youth room at church). I actually stepped on his tail before realizing it was a mouse. The little guy either followed me home or told his friend where I live because on Friday Diane discovered a mouse in the living room. That's right, he was in the house.
We took action immediately...
he hid under the entertainment center for a while.
we tried to lure him out..
Jessie almost caught him with that ice cream container. Diane tried to kill him with her laser eyes.

more cheese...
Jake was determined...
so he went out and bought some mouse traps
That night we set the traps. This morning Jake came down to find all the cheese missing from the traps but no mouse. Smart little guy. But around 4:15 this afternoon while we were all hanging out in the living room, we heard a sudden SNAP! It made us all jump. But we knew we'd finally gotten him.
The following photo is the result of our mouse hunt. I apologize if it's a little graphic.
Poor little guy. May he rest in peace.

Jessie looks quite worried. Diane is standing on a chair. Pretty wimpy for someone with heat vision.
MURDER
diane we were almost heroes!!! that mouse was just too smart for his own good. if he had just let us catch him in the ice cream container he'd still be here...unless jake would've gotten to him first with that hammer!! haha.
r.i.p. little guy.
Diane said that she was against mouse poison because Javen can crawl now. Good idea to get those poisonless traps that will only break you fingers.
First of all, Jeff, I was on the chair recovering from the fact that the mouse just bolted from the living room into the kitchen by was of running between my legs. My heat vision was out because I was so cold. (Hence the baggy sweat pants.) Jessie almost had him in that mint chocolate chip ice cream container. I think rocky road is more his flavor though. Also, Javen wasn't allowed in the kitchen while the mouse was at large and the traps were set. My toes were in more danger than anyone's fingers. You try unloading the dishwasher and tiptoeing around those things. Not easy.
