You are not going to believe this! This afternoon I set four mouse traps upstairs and 2 downstairs by our T.V. The kids and I went to the mall, and when we came home at 8:00, the mouse was not in any of the traps.
Let me back up a little bit to this morning at the doctor's office. Isabella has been having some pooping problems. She has decided that she doesn't like to poop, and refusing to do so. We have tried fiber cereal, fruit, apple cider, etc. You name it, we've tried it. We started giving her a laxative everyday, but she still refused to go. This morning, the doctor instructed us to give her an enema because she was really miserable. As you can imagine, this was one of the more unpleasant things I have had to do with one of my kids. I waited until this evening when Nick was home from work, and we did it together. We were upstairs in Isabella's bathroom performimg this horrible deed while she was screaming at the top of her lungs. Shea ran in, in a total panic and told us that the mouse had stepped into the trap next to the T.V., and it's foot was stuck in the trap. The mouse was running around behind the T.V. like a maniac with the trap stuck to his leg.
After we had Isabella under control, Nick and Taylor got the mouse with our Kitchen tongs and threw him in a bucket. Shea, Isabella and I stood on the coffee table and watched. Nick pryed the trap off his leg, and we walked down the street and let him go in an empty lot.
Hopefully, he was the only one, but we will be setting more traps over night just in case!
