August was a rush.....and September flew by!
Chris was out feeding the dogs one day and found a hawk in the yard that wasn't flying away. A couple days later, a volenteer for the Fish and Wildlife came out and took the bird to a vet. There was no saving it and Chris was pretty sad, but we did our best to do what we could for it.
Mouse in the house! Peyton yelled while she was on the potty that she saw a snail run under a box. I was trying to prove to her that there were no snails.....when this mouse ran out and into Peyton's room. Ben and I searched the room for 20 minutes to find it only to realize it had somehow gotten past us and into another room. After checking each room, shutting each door, and tucking a blanket under it so the bugger couldn't squeeze back in, we found it in our room. It came out and after trying to get under every blanket, it ran behind the box. Ben got on one side with a bucket, I got on the other, and it ran into my bucket. Ben got it outside and "took care" of it with the shovel.
While Ben was at a Boise State football game, the kids and I decided to have a movie night and build a fort. We had an interesting time managing keeping the blankets up, kids interested in the movie, and dinner with only one adult to help the kids eat, but we survived and the kids will hopefully only remember that we had a blast:)
Mouse in the house 2! This one got stuck in the wall behind my fridge and WANTED OUT! It dug a hole through the wall and felt it necessary to also nibble just enough on my fridge hose to make water spray and puddle and run out from behind it. Thank heavens for our rental handy man! He came that day and fixed both problems. Grrrr for the mice though!
Ann and I took the kids to the park to enjoy one of the last nice days before fall really hits and we can't just play and enjoy the warm weather.
Peyton looked to see what I was taking a picture of just as I clicked this one.
Chris was trying to help the kids get drinks from the drinking fountain.
Daddy and Charly relaxing!
She's so stinkin cute!
And there you have it! We are surviving life as a family of 6!
Kyle recently moved back from Utah so we got the chance to spend his birthday with him:) The big 31!
We sure like having him back around and getting to see him more. My kids love him and we've sure missed not having him around as much!
