eeK..

A MOUSE!


well not just a mouse, mice. Now we not only live with 4 other adults a baby and a dog, but a house full  of MICE.
The worst part is its not just our townhouse that has them, they all do. So even if we fight the good fight we can't make others fight it as hard. So far we have killed 5 mice. Zach and Hope took the life of the first mouse. Killing it with a frying pan, just like you would see in the cartoons. Emery, thats right Emery he killed the second one, but now were not to sure if he just thought it was a toy and had no idea it was a living creature. The next 3 were all killed by a trap. We did have a near catch last night. Oh it was so close. Dave and Jake almost had the little bugger until it ran between Jakes feet and right under Zach and Hopes bedroom door (sorry guys).
Needless to say, sleep has not been easy to come by. At night you can hear them running through the walls, scratching on things and all you can do is pray that they choose to NOT climb on your face in the middle of the night.

If you would like a visual of what it is like at our home check this video out....

ok so not the same, but close.
Hopefully this battle will end soon with us being the winners!

That video is DISGUSTING! Seriously disgusting.

Get a cat.

And I heard that mice like to be where it's warm at night, so you may find little creatures in your bed. Ha ha! Just kidding! Well, at least I hope I am.

Oh my. I hope that you can manage to get rid of them before we come back. Can the association get an exterminator or something??
