The culprit

Spencer Edgar Thomas

Age 2

Caught carrying a nasty substance

So a few posts back I mentioned we kind of live out in the country. I also mentioned we could do with out the field mice. Well, that was because I saw a mouse one night while Luke was out of town. We caught them (there was two) with mouse traps and that was the end of it. So, I hoped. Since then those darn mice haunt me. I swear I hear them late at night, and sometimes I even think I see them. Luke told me they are nocturnal, so they would only be out late at night. Not, good info to tell a lady who spends many nights alone. WEll, since then we have mouse traps through out our house, just in case. They are hidden in odd places so the kids can't get to them. My fear is that I will forget to check them, and find a little guy decomposed and stinky. Well, today I kept smelling the oddest scent. My imagination went wild. I came up with some pretty graphic pictures of what I might find. I went racing around the house looking for a dead mouse. After tearing through the house with no luck, I noticed Spence had been following me around being my little helper. We are in the process of potty training, and he was wearing a pull-up. He's supposed to tell me if he needs to go to the bathroom. Well, guess what?! He didn't, and that was the oddest smelling diaper I have ever changed. I'm not sure what that little guys been eating, but WOW!!
