We've Got Mice & other notes to self

We've got mice . . . no, not another addition to our family like the guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, turtles and other assorted pet's we've had in the past, but wild mice. First they were in the garage (Mike blames Ryan for spilling dog food when feeding the dogs) Mike killed one with our broom (the broom died in the process and he has been unable to replace it=( ) he caught/killed one with a trap. Then they began stealing the food and not getting caught =( Today we found one dead in the kids playroom (yuck). Mike blames Amber for spilling the cat food when feeding the cats. Good news is, our overweight, declawed, lazy cats are not good for nothing =) I am very proud of them! Mike is going out looking for a better trap . . . . any suggestions?

Note to self: Just because Mike is done mowing the yard for the winter does not mean my job of picking up dog poop is done =(

See above note: three large dogs can make a lot of poop in a week . . . don't wait a week before picking up poop =(

See above note: Poop picking up is slightly more entertaining after Halloween as I try to figure out what candy they ate based on what's left of the candy wrappers . . . . .well, you get the idea. I have to say, the neon colors from Amber's Polly Pockets are still prettier.

Another note to self: Don't ever put the boy's pants in the washing machine without first checking the pockets . . . . EVER!

See above note: when checking the pockets beware of broken glass chips . . . . lots of broken glass chips!

See above note: ask the school why there is soooo much broken glass chips on the school playground!????

See above note: when taking care of the neighbor's dog noticed the same glass chips on top of her dryer obviously pulled out of her son's pockets . . . . I am not alone.

A final note to self: Buy the boy two more belts so he has a belt for every day of the week since he always throws his pants in the laundry with the belt still attached. This now explains why his pants are always falling down come Friday's =(
