Mother's Day and Mouse Traps

Happy Mother's Day to all of our mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, and friends! We love you all. I am very glad to be a mother. John has been such a joy and I am sure that this next baby will be just as amazing. I am looking forward to becoming a mother again in a few weeks. I love being a mommy! Brad got me beautiful pink roses today because he will be working and sleeping all day tomorrow. I am lucky to have him! Happy Mothers Day!!! We love you!

I guess that it is just fitting that the week before your mother-in-law, mother, and grandmother come for a visit that mice would choose to infest our apartment. We haven't seen any signs at all of mice until last night when one ran across the floor from the living room to out pantry. This evening we bought six different mouse traps and have declared war. We found evidence of the pesky rodents in two places and we know that they are in the pantry too. I hate mice!! If any snap tonight, they are staying there until Brad gets home from work tomorrow. Wish us luck! Wish them death!

Edit to post: VICTORY!!!!! Not 15 minutes from posting this tonight we heard a SNAP!!! We got one little one. Hopefully this was the only one, but we still have 5 more traps set. We will get them if there are any more. Congratulations go to Brad for his bravery and skill!! He is one amazing mouse killer!
