Recent happenings

This just happens to be the first photo - yes, mouse traps.  As you can see, we got one!  Actually, we did end up catching 2 mice and knock on wood, so far so good!  We did have the pest control company close up some holes in and around the house so hopefully this will be the last of it! Our neighbor did mention that they have been seeing some mice in their home now, so maybe those emitters do work too??!

We did finally make our gingerbread turkey after Thanksgiving:

Pretty handy kit! Although we didn't really eat much of it after having it in the fridge. The gingerbread became too chewy. Probably should have eaten it right on the spot after making it! Well, now we know :-)

Some golf after school... I need to do this more often with the boys:

The boys had minimum day during the Parent-Teacher Conference week so we went ice-skating.  No injuries... Phew!

The weather was so warm a few weeks ago it was actually perfect for beach day:

Perfect for taking some Holiday card photos too! :-)

The ninja inflatable balls from Legoland Ninjago.  Those are staying in their bedrooms!

Our new shutters finally did arrive:

These guys did a great job with the installation:

And during the installation, Charlie did a self-portrait of himself.  Too cute!!! His drawing even has the Christmas tree :-)

Ta da!!!  Okay, maybe not as dramatic, but at least all the windows are uniformed with shutters now:

Our new microwave was finally installed as well:

Ta da!!!  Funny enough, Bobby couldn't stop admiring it. Ha ha!  I am just happy to have a functional microwave!

And the TV is finally mounted too.  Yay!!!

There are still some other electrical things to be done around the house.  In time, I guess!
