A Mouse in my House

So I guess I have a story I can tell. The girls at card night heard this one, but it is pretty funny. When Lance and I were first married he chased me around my moms house with a dead mouse in a trap. Then another time he left the dead mouse in the trap for me to take care of. I was not too happy about that. So anyway, three weeks ago I saw this mouse run across my living room and never saw it again. Then last week I had Avery and she was crawling in my kitchen and I saw her chewing on some sawdust. I looked by the dishwasher and there was a big pile of sawdust. So Lance decides he needs to pull the dishwasher out and there is this mouse on the back of the dishwasher and I let out this ear-piercing scream. All I can see is my husband grabbing the tail of this mouse and throwing it at me. I hightailed it d out of that kitchen pretty fast! The mouse got away. So we set traps and later that night I was enjoying some popcorn and nicely offered the last part of my bowl to Lance. He went downstairs for a drink and came back up asking me if I wanted anymore popcorn. I said no, he says good because the mouse likes it. Looking into the bowl, which is right by my face, I see a dead mouse. Screamed and jumped out of bed. That is what it is like to have a husband who enjoys teasing. Hope you enjoyed my story, my kids got a kick out of it. I really need to think of a way to get him back.

So not creative!

Okay, so I am having a hard time trying to figure out what to even blog about lately. We have been so busy with holiday things starting. Tonight was looking at the calendar with mom and December is quickly getting out of control.
So yesterday the kids had a piano recital. Brennan played "I hope they call me on a mission" then he and Bailie played "Jolly old Saint Nicholas" as a duet. Bailie then played her two songs, "clap hands" and "Called to Serve." Both did a very good job. I am so proud of them and their willingness to play. Also very thankful they have such a great teacher in Amy Meredith.
Today Bailie gave her first talk in Primary, she did very good and she is a typical Bailie. Organized, Organized, Organized. Love her for that!
So that is about it, Lance has been gone for almost a week now. He is doing a remodel job near Ellensburg. We are all excited for him to come home. So I guess that about covers it. Yes I did go see Twilight on Thursday at midnight. Drug my cousin Brittany and sister-in-law Jami with me. Brave souls! Very impressed they stayed awake for the whole thing. If you want to see a good review head on over to this girl's blog for some good thoughts!
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!! We are planning some great food and great company at my in-laws!
