Not again!!!

I went down stairs this morning to wake up the kids, and then I thought I had better check the window that is know to flood when it rains very hard.  And wouldn't you know it...  The window was dry!  However it had a little mouse down inside :(  This is not the first time, and I am beginning to think it wont be the last time...  The last time it happened the kids and I spent most of an afternoon cheering on the little guy as he would run up the screen and try to launch himself out of the window well.  That evening when Josh got home from work he rescued the poor little mouse with a ladder for him to climb out on...  When Josh Jr. informed Josh that there was a mouse in the window well again, he went and made a ladder again...

The kids started debating whether or not it was the same mouse as before...  I decided that it was not, because even though Josh had put the "ladder" down in the window well for the mouse, the little guy kept trying to run up the screen and jump out of the window well!  I think the big kids were a little sad that they had to run (literally) off to school and couldn't see the little guy escape...  Now one saw him escape...  He took too long to figure it out!  Let's just hope he figures out a way to NOT fall in the window well again...

And on a not so great side note: Josh Jr. went out side later this afternoon to make sure the mouse had really gotten out...  The mouse had, but Josh Jr. said that he saw a mouse close to the window well, still in the back yard...  YUCK!  Now I am going to worry about them getting into the house!
