A Mouse!!

Yesterday Nick got up to watch conference and was sitting on the couch and saw something run by the doorway in the spare bedroom. We've had a few spiders in our apartment since we got back, some of them pretty big, so he thought it must have just been a spider and went to check it out. It was gone.

So last night we had a few friends come over for lunch and the afternoon session of conference. They were here until around ten and were just about to leave when we saw the mouse run by the door again. This time we both saw it and knew it was a mouse. I freaked out a little and Nick stayed sitting on the couch and shut down. He can't do mice. When he was little he was bitten by a mouse and has had a phobia since. So we let James and Clint go look for it. It was gone again, but they found a hole in the corner by the heater, so we knew where it went.

Nick DOES NOT go to the store on Sunday, but he was getting his shoes on getting ready to go buy some traps last night. He hates mice.

We settled down again and a few minutes later saw it by the doorway, so we tried to smack it with a broom. It got away from that and ran into the livingroom where I was holding the dog. I started freaking out and jumping around trying not to step on it, while the dog tried to jump out of my arms to investigate the new addition to our house. Clint and James were laughing at me so much! Nick was still frozen on the couch.

Clint and James caught it and we threw it in the dumpster. We slept much better last night knowing it was not in our house.

Yuck. We hate mice.
