We are the MouseKeteers!


This is a series of events that took place late into the night one night.....
First Brindy, sitting on the floor reading in the Living Room saw something out of the corner of her eye!
"I think I saw a mouse, Chris!" she exclaimed.
Chris, a few feet away, at the computer desk said, "I didn't see anything." Therefore referring to the fact that if he didn't see it, it did not happen.. :)
Then Brindy saw it again. "Chris, I keep seeing something move."
"It's nothing Brindy, you always get spooked."
But he set up a mouse trap for her any way. All of a sudden, SNAP! The mouse trap was set off, but there was no trace of the mouse! Chris just laughed at his wife.
....a few minutes later....
"That little bugger!" Chris muttered. Then the adventures began. He saw it run from the entertainment center, under the couch....

So we flipped the couch over....

It ran from the couch back to the entertainment center. So we took out our dvd player and VCR......
It ran from the entertainment center under the door into the kitchen and behind the trash cans. So we pulled the trash cans out....
It ran from the trash cans under the Stove. So we pulled the bottom drawer out....

It ran from the stove under the dishwasher. So we yanked the dishwasher forward.....
It ran form the dishwasher under the sink. All we had to do for that was open the cupboard doors....

Then it ran from the cupboard back under the dishwasher and under the fridge!
Mind you this whole time Chris is just going bolistic and telling Brindy to stop the mouse every time it runs out....so she is standing there on her tip toes with a broom, just laughing!

....Yep, you guessed it. We pulled the fridge out, Chris took the broom from Brindy just in time to whack the mouse... :-( Poor little guy had a fatal night....

No thanks to this trap! :)

Holy cow!! I'm so glad that it's not me! No offense. We have had our share. We caught five in one week. It was nasty! Justin didn't beleive me either until we caught it. Now he will never doubt me.
