the kids came and woke me up this morning to tell me there was a rat in the house. we get mice every spring, so naturally i ignored them and went back to sleep! when i got up, i sat in my favorite spot in the sitting room with my first cup of coffee and my laptop. while i'm basking in the few moments of quiet (the kids were upstairs starting their chores) i have a little surprise... something running across the floor in front of me. at first, i thought it was a giant rat. then i realized it was a small possum. so i'm standing on the couch screaming, Aliyah is standing on the coffee table screaming, Esme is chasing it saying
"come here, kitty!" i opened the front door and after a few minutes Isaiah was able to chase it out! i think
it was more anxious to get out of this crazy place with screaming females and a toddler hell bent on putting it in a baby carriage! after all of our adrenalin subsided, i realized i was actually relieved that it was a possum as opposed to a rat. i mean, when have you ever heard of someone having
one rat? i have no idea how it got in and i sincerely hope it never manages to do again. i never thought anything would be a more effective wake up tool than my keurig. guess i was wrong!

HAHAHAHA I love that Esme was trying to get it thinking it was a kitty :). I can picture her doing that haha. I've done that lots of times thinking the skunks around MVNU were kitties so I followed them around trying to rescue them.
Hurray for weird rodent like creatures and getting them out of your house haha.
You so should have got her on video! Priceless!!
