Like a good little girl, I thought I'd made a fruit salad using our food storage supply. Little did I know that I would find evidence of a little guest! Yes, we have a Mouse in our House! I discovered it had eaten into a bag of beans and an unopened bag of wheat, but the greatest insult was the TWO bags of Chocolate Chips and my JASMINE Rice!! You just DON'T mess with my CHOCOLATE and RICE!!! I checked all of our other plastic bags to see if anything else was damaged. When I looked at the top shelf, I was a little confused. There was WHEAT in our bags of balloons. The little stinker was building a nest in our bag of BALLOONS! It's only been at it for a week because Reed and Ms A used some of the balloons for my birthday last week.
This little nest made my laugh. Isn't that what Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
taught last October General Conference? Find the humor and laugh it off! So have a little smile. :)
Ms A was a little tentative to go upstairs by herself after my discovery. I tried to use the logic that Angelina is a mouse. She quickly stated that Angelina was on tv, not in our house. She'd have nothing to do with that thought. I explained to her that mice are afraid of people... didn't work. I told her that the mouse wasn't in our home, but she refused to go upstairs unless she was accompanied by Reed or I. :)
Now everything is stored above our cabinets in the kitchen, so please ignore the boxes and food when you come for a visit.

The PERFECT story to read before I go up to bed right now.
I've often wondered how we figure out if mice are nesting. Are there ways other than "finding their evidence" around the house?
I'm especially sorry to hear about your chocolate. Quel domage.
yikes! i've been meaning to put some of our food storage in plastic bins, maybe i better get on that today. we had a huge dead mole in our backyard last week, maybe all of this construction is pushing these little vermon our way.
kinda cute that the little guy chose the balloons...
oh no! We had a mouse in our old house and my husband was the biggest CHICKEN about it. We could not get RID of it! One day our friend lifted our fraishe (Moroccan couch) and was so scared when she saw it that she dropped the mattress quickly and SQUISHED it to death! Can you BELIEVE that?! Yuck! But at least he wasn't eating through everything in our house anymore!
We've got mice, too. Its gotta be all the construction going on, destroying their homes. Poor things. (Although I've set poison out to get them out of my house, they can live out in the back yard!)
