Mickey Mouse made a personal visit to our house!

How lucky are we!!!

And No it wasn't this Mickey! Although we took this picture at a park in Idaho. But we had an unexpected guest.  A mouse in the house. Liliana saw something wizz by and freaked out. Jonathan wasn't home I tried to be the brave Mommy cuz in my opinion Mommies can do it all. But once I saw that thing I screamed and ran. The kids and I jumped up on the sofa and waited for Daddy to come home. I was texting a friend at the time the furry friend was found and she told me to man up and catch it, to go get one of my heels. I told her no thanks, that thing isn't worthy of me sacrificing one of my heels.

My hero hubby gets home and doesn't understand what the big deal is. Hello it's a mouse he says it's smaller then me what could it possible do. I'm not willing to sacrifice one of my shoes but he is willing to sacrifice one of his golf clubs.  He ended up chasing the mouse in to four different rooms. The girls and I stood on a chair. We saw it run out and freaked out. We screamed so loud I'm surprised the neighbors didn't call 911.

I took this picture standing on another chair!!! Liliana was really upset over this. She was crying and saying she hate this house, she wants to move back to California and she never wants to sleep in her room again. Drama Drama Drama! I think Jocelyn was crying because of Liliana because once we were calmed down Jocelyn asked if when Daddy catches the mouse if she could keep it! She says they are cute and cuddly. Liliana thought she was joking but she wasn't. Of course my answer was NO WAY!!!

Liliana's note!

After Dad was tired and frustrated we went to the store at 11pm and got traps and some other stuff that would let the guest know it wasn't welcomed!!! And we had a successful catch right away. Not a smart mouse. We ended up with to kids in our bed that night. But that's Parenthood!!!
 
Disclaimer: Jonathan thinks I shouldn't blog about this! I say it's life! Besides the kids have already told everyone in the whole school and all the teachers, they had a mouse in the house. We have lived in this house almost over 2 years never had a problem. The house behind us has horses surprised it didn't happen sooner. But this crazy weather hasn't help 1 full week in the high 70s then dropped down to 38 degrees. The only sympathy I have is I'm sure the mouse was just looking for a warm place but, it picked the wrong house!!!
