It has been awhile since I have updated this. What can I say but it is a busy season for us. John is still working at National Oilwell Varco and I started a job at Michael's craft store as a stocker at nights (6pm-midnight) on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I have also been doing a little babysitting here and there.

I also didn't write about our mouse problem on here but we had a mouse problem for about 5 weeks wich absolutely disgusted me! John had to be the brave one and put them in the trash when we caught them. So far the tally reads 20! We have been praying that the problem is all taken care of. My mother-in-law bought that mouse (don't worry, it's fake) that Levi is holding to play a prank on John with. He didn't fall for it.

Levi is now all out walking (and sometimes running) and he absolutely loves it! He is also learning how to hold a crayon and color. He has been learning some of his body parts including his belly button, eyes, nose, ears, and hair (he likes to brush his own). We just bought him a snowsuit and mittens and today I thought would be a good day to try out the snow. Levi has a hard time moving when he is all bundled up. :) He does a pretty good job walking in the snow but as soon as he falls over he is just down and there is no getting up. :) We didn't spend too long outside-maybe tomorrow.

I understand your mouse problem! We had an episode when we moved in. I completely freaked out - even scheduled an exterminator to come (but later calmed down and canceled him). There was an episode or two of hyperventilation also. We developed a process - I would wear long, yellow rubber gloves to hold open a plastic bag (doubled) and wear my socks over my pants (like in the 80s). Dave would dump the trap and mouse in the bag, I would tie it tightly and quickly for disposal! The best traps were the Walmart sticky traps, duct taped to the floor. The Home Depot sticky traps were not as sticky and if you didn't tape the traps down the mice could get their tails stuck and take off with the traps. We ended up with a grand total of 27. If you need any mice hunting tips let us know!

So are all of the mouse problems over with? I do hope nobody stepped in any of the glue traps, if that's the kind of trap you got!

Levi's looking great in his snowsuit. How many words is he saying now?
