Pumpkin Carving & A Mouse

At first, Drake refused to stick his hand into the pumpkin to get  the guts out. After I grabbed some gloves for him, he decided that it was okay.

Still not quite sure if he should stick a hand it. I think he was afraid that the pumpkin would eat his hand or something.

Going for it.

And all the way at the bottom.

Drake took this one and most of the following pictures.

"You need to smile Mommy & Daddy!"

Chloe eating Kix, I think.

What a goofy goober!

Here is my pumpkin.

All lite up!

One tired little girl!

On a side note, while we were eating lunch today, I look over to my left and see a small field mouse run from the hall closet into the bathroom. Lot tried to trap it, but it ran and went under the dishwasher. We have a mouse in the house! I am hoping that it will come out and get stuck to a trap, but we can't stick those out until bedtime because Chloe will probably stick all of them to herself.  I hope it gets stuck while Lot is here, because I do not think that I can take the mouse out. Last time this happened, in Pocatello, Lot was at work and I called Kendall (Lot's brother) to come and dispose of it. I wonder how the thing got in the house in the first place. I need to find out and then plug up the hole. It is just gross to think that there is a mouse in the kitchen. YUCK!
