Humans 1, Mouse 2...As In Two Packs Of Our Cookies

Wanna know what's so exciting about this picture?

It's the fact that the arrow is pointing to the red line...the mouse dead section.
We've had a little issue this week. A mouse (or mice?!) decided that our house was her new summer vacation resort. How do I know it was a girl? Hmmm, well she had a whole pantry of food to choose from, and her choice was the Chips Ahoy double chocolate chip cookies. The next night we offered a little cheese (hidden in a trap.) Didn't want that. She chose the Oreos as her comfort food. I told Larry he was dealing with a mouse with PMS and he had to speak her language. You know, the language of women with PMS...chocolate. Oreo bait = one dead mouse. I'm thinking death by chocolate has an all new meaning for me, and that dying while covered in Oreo crumbs is quite possibly the best scenario if you gotta go. Whaddya think, ladies?

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

I wonder if Mama is watching me?

Oh, yes, she's watching. Ahem..I wasn't going to eat that nut because it's wrong. I'm not allowed to eat nuts, of course. I wasn't even thinking of eating a nut.

These are just my fingers...I promise...there's really no nut there.

You aren't buying the whole "it's just my fingers theory," huh?

Okay, fine. It was a nut. But I love them, Mama!

You're just gonna have to deal with it because I like sticks...

and leaves...

and did I mention...

Nuts!?!

Summer Camp Sam

Sam has been going to the summer day camp at the Rec Center the past few weeks. He really enjoys it, and is having fun with new friends.

Claire Went to Claire's

Claire got her ears pierced today! She looks more grown-up but cute as ever. She chose some little daisy, multi-colored earrings that match everything (since she has to wear them for 6 weeks.)


Claire at Claire's!


Holding on to Sally for courage


Get it over with at the same time!

She didn't cry, but she looked like she was going to. Then she was all happy and smiley that she had done it.

The Eyes Have It

I bought a new lens for myself (early birthday present) and played around with it this morning. More to come later, but for now enjoy the girls' beautiful eyelashes :-)

Meeting Ivy

We have a new puppy cousin, Ivy. The kids got to meet her the other day, and she is so cute and sweet!
