Soooooo we have a little mouse in our apartment. It has been around for a couple of weeks now and we’ve been trying to catch it via an OLD SCHOOL mouse trap (shown at the right). Clearly, it’s not working. Haha this mouse trap is literally straight out of Disney’s Cinderella. Only our mouse is no Gus Gus. Our mouse is named Stuart. Like Stuart Little. Because he is… so…. little. I named him today after Josh spotted him in the cupboard. Josh says he is teeensy-tiny so I decided this name is fitting. I imagine he is a cute one too; however, mice are unsanitary- and so as cute as he may be, he needs to leave. SOON!

Hahahahah OMG! In the pantry?!?!!!! That little sucker. I’m so glad you spotted him though so now we know where he is coming from. We should try to block the hole. Good idea about not telling meg. It would distroy her. Haha she would never eat anything out of the pantry again!!! I have class soon but I will see you tonight. The mouse is going DOWN. Sent from my iPod [Quoted text hidden] **Sidenote to Lauren: If you are reading this be assured the mouse will not be killed. Please hurry home to help us save/dispose of Stuart. Meg especially needs you more than ever right now.

Finally! After 15 days Zan and his family have returned from their river trip on the St. John in the North Maine Woods! Since there is no cell phone service up there I went for 2 weeks without knowing if they were fairing alright or if they were attacked by bears. Just have to have faith in these situations I guess! YAY for Zan’s return!
