GET IT OUT!!


I HATE rodents (other than Guinea Pigs)! I don't like them inside or outside. They are NOT cute, no matter what some people, who will remain nameless, think.

So you can imagine how thrilled I was to find this note when I opened the bedroom door this morning!



 And then there were numerous copies of this note in strategic 
locations throughout the house.




Apparently, after Doug and I had gone to bed, and Mandy had gone down to Grandma's to dog sit,  David had a mouse run into his room and back out.  So David enlisted the help of Alex, Tyler, Evonne and Alanna.



They gathered their mouse catching arsenal
 (aka, weapons of mouse destruction),
 and they spent the next three hours overturning, looking under, and behind every item of furniture downstairs.  At 1:00am they called Mandy to come and help.  Eventually they gave up, wrote the notes and went to bed.



 This morning Doug and Alanna did another thorough search and after reportedly finding no evidence, decided that the vermin little visitor, "has left the building".




How the mouse got into the house remains a mystery. We do have a suspect but he will remain nameless until we have enough evidence to charge him with the crime.


UPDATE 11/5/12: The rodent actually had NOT, "left the building"!  The noises I heard in the Christmas boxes in the den were NOT my imagination, as some people led me to believe. At my request, Alex and Tyler completely tore apart the den, and with Rickey's help, they found the box the pest was in and took it outside to open it. He immediately scurried out of the Christmas mug he was hiding in and hasn't been seen since. Now, he really has, "LEFT THE BUILDING"! Now all I have to do is clean up the MESS!
The perpetrator has still not fessed up, but since he helped find the rodent we'll give him a break.

Jesus, Friend of Sinners by Casting Crowns

Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Kcm2OAWNA
