Stupid mice

So, when I was pregnant with Rachie (4 years ago), we had mice get into our kitchen because the garbage can was under the sink. It took a few weeks to get rid of them all, and Steve patched up all the places he thought they may have come in from. The other day I saw that the bag of birdseed I have had under our kitchen sink for at least 2 years had been nibbled on. I didn't think much of it, because I haven't seen any signs of mice, I cleaned it up and figured it must have been a one time thing. Not so lucky. Just now I was downstairs watching TV and I could hear something rustling around in the kitchen. It sounds like it is behind the fridge, which means that either there is a hole somewhere back there or it came out from under the sink. I told Steve and he says he will set traps tomorrow. I am freaking out because that means I have to sit here all day knowing I have a mouse in my kitchen. GROSS!!! I didn't think that mice liked birdseed. I never would have kept it under there if I had known. I am tempted to find some sort of food and put it OUTSIDE so maybe the dumb mouse will stay out there instead of coming in my house. All I can say is that Steve better find and fill any place that looks like a hole a mouse might be able to get in through or I am calling a professional to come and take care of it.

Catching up

Phew! Crazy life has been at it again!

Nothing new and exciting to share with ya'll. Just been busy taking kids to sports practices, games, piano, church stuff and such. Becka had her last fencing class on Monday and now wants to do the intermediate one. It is clear over at Firstenburg, so I haven't decided what the plan is yet.

This weekend I get to go to the beach with Andrea, Dana, Erin, Afton and mom (Steve's mom). I wasn't so sure at first, but now I am really excited about it! All we need is Kerry and the fun would be complete! Next time you come out here Kerry, we are whisking you away!!

Oh, Rachie and Kylie have started their tumbling class. They like it, but Dana and I aren't super impressed with the way it is done. There are 12 kids in there and only one teacher. A lot of the stuff the teacher tells them to do isn't exactly age appropriate (telling them to stand still and quiet in a line and wait while she works with each kid one on one, expecting them to understand how to run an obstacle type course, stuff like that). They really need another teacher in there helping keep the kids who are waiting busy. But, the girls have fun and enjoy being silly together, so that is nice.

Other than that, my news is that tomorrow is my birthday! My mom, Grammie, Steve, the kids and I are having dinner at my mom's house (cafe rio, yum!) tomorrow evening. Melissa has the day off work, so after tumbling, she and I are gonna do some stuff together. Sounds like it will be fun!
