Just a little bit goofy

I haven't posted in a while because I haven't taken pictures. I also couldn't think of anything to say that wasn't a complaint. But we did have a fun time yesterday when Tayler came up for a riding lesson with Alexa. After they had their individual rides, Lynn put them both up on Babe for a little bit. I unfortunately didn't get a picture of their faces at this point, maybe I can get one from Carleen. And here is Alexa who put her swimsuit around her neck for fun, or maybe she thinks it is decorative. When I get out the camera and tell her to smile, this is the pose she strikes. Kind of funny.

We discovered last week that we had mice. They had gotten into my baking drawer and eaten my nuts and coconut. There was mouse poop all over under my sink, and I had to throw most of the stuff in that drawer away. We sprayed this foam stuff around the pipes where they come through the wall and set traps, and we caught one. But there are more. They chewed through the foam stuff, and got into the chocolate we left in that drawer to lure them, but failed to get trapped. I now have to go get steel wool to pack in around the pipes, and secure my baking stuff in tins or hard plastic.

We went to Portland Special meeting on Sunday, and Alexa was a squirming wiggling terror. We should never have put her in the car for 2 hours drive, and then expected her to sit still for two separate two hour meetings. She was good at Lebanon special meeting, but she had already gotten to go to school and play that day (Wednesday special meeting), and the drive there is only 30 minutes or so. I am sort of dreading this coming Sunday..we are trying to figure out how we are going to get her some physical playtime in before and between meetings.

Have you seen my dancing shoes? said...

Hey, Hey! Ummm... check your piano for micey poopies. If you think you have gotten all the entries to the house blocked...yada yada...they like to hang out in piano's! The panel under the keyboard pops right out, also shine a flash light from the top. There should be room in the bottom for a trap. Anyway. Sorry about your mice that sounds awful!
