We Caught It!

A few weeks ago Hailey complained that there were noises in her room late at night. Scratching noises, crinkling noises. I asked her if there was any food in her room. Of course not!, she assured me, except for the bag of chips and the old Halloween candy and the cereal box and the bowl that once had ice cream in it. Later, she tearfully came to me holding up a treasured stuffed animal with two little mouse poops on it's head.

We cleaned and vacuumed and set out an enticing trap.... cream cheese with cheddar sprinkles. It wasn't long before the mouse succumbed to the temptation and got it's little neck snapped. Hailey went in to check on the trap and came out with a look of both triumph and pity.
