Animal Kingdom

My Mother was right, "You know there's never just one."

That was her comment on the phone the other night when I told her about waging war on the mouse who had recently taken up residence under my kitchen sink.

Not only did we catch on Thursday night under the sink but we caught his relative in the pantry on Friday night. VICTORY IS OURS! The traps have been clear the last 2 mornings so I'm cautiously optimistic.

Yesterday Momo, Wade, Ellie and Magoo came over to swim and hang out for the day. As we were all getting ready for the pool I noticed a SNAKE swimming across the deep end and right into the skimmer. GREAT! Where was this guy 2 days ago when I needed him to take care of my mouse problem?! Well luckily we saw it and the Dad's took care of the dirty work- I'll spare you the details. (Let's just say it involved a hoe and a pair of kitchen scissors.)

Geez Louise, we're like a regular Animal Kingdom around here. Maybe the snake overheard me telling someone I was going to get Aidan one...Hmmm

New member of the family

We have a new member of our family. He only comes by in the dark and is gone by sun up. He's kind of sneaky and has no bathroom manners! He eats everything in sight and is getting a little bold.

YUP! We've got a little mouse in our house and it's grossing me OUT! He decided to show himself last night. Sean and I were watching a movie last night and I fell asleep on the couch. He woke me up to tell me that it ran through the living room. WHAT?!

The trap didn't work, so now I'm waging a war on this lil' furry fellow. The little s.o.b. was on my coffee table last night, and the only reason I know that is because he always leaves something behind wherever he goes.

AH! I think I'm going to buy Aidan a snake! Or maybe Clare a cat....hmmm

We are officially...

TRIATHLETES!

Sunday, July 10, 2011 Sean and I competed in the Catfish Sprint Triathlon in Harrisburg, PA.

After all my hesitation and nervousness, I had a great time! Sean and I got to race side by side. It really was a cool experience!
