Home Again...

We are now back into the routine at home. It's never the same but constantly busy - and fun. It's good to be home with all it's adventures. There's already been a field trip, work for Dad, a couple of tests, items forgotten and dropped off at school, a few sets of swim lessons, one school council meeting attended, violin practiced, two b-ball practices, groceries bought, an RS lesson in the works, meals prepared and some suitcases unpacked. Laundry...maybe tomorrow! Some days feel like the more you do, the more behind you get! But, it's still good to be home.
We have to admit, we were all about ready to leave again after a harrowing 4 hour blizzard drive home on Saturday night in -84 degrees and then perhaps we didn't get enough of "the mouse" on our trip because we came home to evidence of mice in our home when we walked in the door! Mom just about turned around and walked right back out the door! Mom is not and never will be a "farm girl" she is happy to admit. Mice are about more than she can take! We now have a "trap line" of traps. Mom also had a little chat with Buddy and informed him that he has a new job - that of mouse catcher. We're not sure if he understood or not. We'll keep you posted!

  1. Sorry to hear about the mice - that would not be fun to come home to! If you're looking for really good bait, try some peanut butter or marshmallows.

  2. NO!!!!! I'd volunteer Gracie to help Buddy, but she's a big chicken....even afraid of Buddy, poor thing. I guess even the little creatures like a warm, fully stocked place to rest.

  3. and that was just after ONE day home!! No wonder your calendar is so BIG. And to those reading this blog, -84 degrees isn't really an exaggeration! PB did the trick in our past mouse catching days. GOOD LUCK
