Well! I just had an adventure!
I have a 1 year old and a 4 mo during the day. The 4mo and I were in the kitchen while the 1 year old played in the play yard. I was in the kitchen trying to make myself a quick bite to eat, when I heard a "squeak squeak" noise. I think to myself, "oh, I didn't know we had a toy that made that noise"......then I hear it again, behind me.
Gulp.
So I turn around, and my cat has a MOUSE trapped against the wall in the living room!
I got one of my heavy metal mixing bowls, and then ever so slowly made my way over to the mouse and trapped it under the bowl. Then I'm standing there scratching my head. I have two babies here so I can't exactly just run outside with the mouse, even if I manage to keep it in the bowl. What on earth to do?!
Finally, after calling around, I find out that my friend's husband is at home today, so he came over and removed the mouse for me. So now all is well, the 1 yo got picked up early, and I FINALLY managed to get the 4mo to sleep. Two hours later, I finally get to have my lunch!
Who knew that child care would be so exciting?

that's how I sounded the first few times my cat brought me the gift of a dead mole...and I how sound each time he has brought me the gift of a LIVE mouse. "Here mommy, I love playing with these, you try!!!" Uh thanks, but keep your friends OUTside please! He has also brought me a live praying mantis and a dead rat (thankfully that one got left outside) in addition to two live mice and a number of dead moles.
So I was able to move the bookshelf and the poor thing was frozen scared so it was easy to capture with a tupperware dish. My kids were the only ones there so I was able to release it outside on the bluff.
