Today its Noah's turn:

Once upon a time there was a little boy and there was a mouse in his house.  His dad told him he had to catch him (the mouse).  Then they tried to catch the mouse, but he could not catch him.  Out of no where a rat showed up, then a bunny, then a dog, then they had a zoo.  They started selling tickets to the zoo, but realized there were not enough animals.

The end

On a side note - our home is not infested with mice.  Just incase you were getting that vibe from my kids.  We saw signs of a mouse & called the pest guy.  He has set some traps & we are sure we will catch the little guy.  Apparently this made a big impression on the kids

Mouse in the House

I’d been sick and was taking a nice nap when I was awakened by this

MOM there is a mouse in the house! MOM there is a mouse in the house!

I was not totally taken off guard but I thought they had seen it.

Me: what?
Noah: there is a mouse in the house, but don’t worry we are going to catch it
Me: what?
Eli: ya we have our mouse catching stuff on

Me: What?

Kids: Look mom gloves and stuff

(note jewerly box to place caught mouse in & gloves to protect their hands)

After taking a look at their get-up I realised they had thought of everything and sent them down to their dad.
