i'm happy to be home

there's so much i want to blog about. i don't even know where to start.

our trip to new orleans was nice. i will wait and post more details about it later when i'm not so tired (and when i get my pics on my computer).

getting away for a few days was so good for us. i've discovered that our kiddos are really quite funny. i guess it's a whole lot easier to be entertained by our boys since i've had some time "off" from being mom, teacher, doctor, etc. so now a lot more of what they say and do seems funny instead of annoying or irritating. that's just proof that moms (and dads) need a break from their children every now and then.

shana has been blogging about uninvited mice. although i cannot compare to the horror of having mice in my house right now (thank goodness!), we did spot a rascally rodent in our garage a couple days before we left on our trip. T put out a trap with a little peanut butter on a piece of cracker and sure enough, the trap caught a mouse while we were away. hopefully, it was the only mouse living in our garage and we won't be bothered by any more.

well, it's good to be home. i'm even nearly done doing up all the laundry we had afterwards! woohoo! like i said, i'll be posting more about the trip in the next few days after i get my pics and thoughts organized. for now, i'm gonna go listen to an audiobook and knit!
