Saturdays in the Wilhite household are usually reserved for weekend chores, but once those are done, there's nothing more fun than playing outdoors with the neighbor kids.

We had a bit of an "mousecapade" this afternoon. I was mixing up a batch of muffins when the oven began to smell weird. Great, the mice are back. They have this annoying habit of chewing through the wires and stealing insulation. The great mouse-hunt began. 5 boys + 2 airsoft guns + a rubber mallet + needed brooms, boxes, cell phone (kids reasoning: the noise will scare it, right?), bamboo sticks, etc. = one dead mouse. The office, kitchen and scullery were in state of chaos at the end, but now this girl can bake in peace once again. Well, as soon as we repair the oven, that is. I have no pity on the beast that comes between me and my mixing bowl. I rest my case. ;)
haha! Loved the crutches ;) Oh yes, they're fun to play with. Glad to hear the mouse is eliminated! We can hear rats (big rats ... the-size-of-squirrels rats) scurry above the pantry at times, and have to set out poison. Thankfully none have actually been in the house. But if they ever try to come in the kitchen ...
