Haunted Houses, Mice and Vampires!!

Last weekend my girl friends and I went to a haunted house. I was so excited!! I had not been to one since I was in high school. Well let me just tell you I am NOT in high school any more!! It was so scary! I just huddled in the back of the group held on so tight (sorry Tai) and closed my eyes. I am so thankful that Tiffany was brave enough to lead us through. I never thought I'd be too old for a haunted house, but when you're about 10 minutes in to it and are looking for the closest emergency exit... YOU'RE TOO OLD!!!!

Onto my next adventure. The other night I was sitting peacefully watching t.v. with Rufus. All of a sudden the most rotten, disgusting, little vermin ran out from under my fireplace!!!! Yep that's right a mouse! Of course Josh just had to be out of town (I swear I hate hunting season!!!) I jumped up onto the couch as fast as I could and called my mom. She just laughed at me and told me to go buy mouse traps the next day. Well I couldn't wait til the next day so I ran to my neighbors (given it is 10'o'clock at night). I scared them half to death and then when I told them it was a mouse, they also laughed! (I don't understand why mice makes people laugh, maybe because it's not in their house!) My awsome neighbor came over a put a sticky pad down next to my couch. A few minutes later I saw the mouse again!!! It ran back into the fireplace, so I moved the pad and went to bed. (Of course lining a towel under my bedroom door so nothing could get in!) The next morning I came downstairs to find the sticky pad missing!!! Yep that's right the dang thing must be bionic because it drug it into the fireplace and managed to escape! I was so freaked out. I ran right to Home Depot and bought poison, 4 traps, a sticky pad, and a mouse house trap that electrocutes them when they run in it. (I know it sounds cruel but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do) Thanks to my brother-in-law setting up all my traps I have now caught 2 mice!!! That is 2 more than I ever wanted to catch!!!! And thanks to my awsome neighbors I never had to touch the traps!! I officially HATE mice!

I know the next heading sounds kind of frightening as well, vampires. But this is actually a very good thing. If you are a Twilight freak like I am, then you would know that movie tickets went on sale. Of course my friends and I jumped on it. We are going November 22. It can't come fast enough. I get so excited every time I see the trailer. If you haven't read the books I highly suggest it. And fast!

Zoo

Last week my ma and I took my nephews to the zoo. We had such a fun time!!! At first it rained just a little bit but it didn't damper us. It slightly makes me sad that the zoo doesn't have as many animals when I was little but it was still fun!

Here's the new Merry-Go-Round... not so fun kinda made me sick!
The white alligator is still there. He was actually moving, it was neat.

This is one on the cutest pics ever. Two black bears cuddleing up. The one on the bottom (assuming the girl, no guy would ever let that happen ha ha!) kept biting him to get off but gave after a while. As we always do!

Three of the cutest animals at the zoo!!


The boys are getting so big!!

Missing: 2 wild animals escaped from zoo!

What a life!!

Where's My Hubby... Oh Yeah It's Hunting Season

I've gotten used to the fact that Josh works for 2 weeks away from home and I'm totally fine with it. But through the months of September to November I consider myself abandonded!! First Josh went deer hunting.. no luck. Then went to work and came back to go elk hunting.. again no luck. The next time Josh comes home he will be going on his annual North Dakota trip. His dad, cousin and uncle go every year to pheasant hunt. (I personally think it's an excuse to drink... shoot a gun... and drink some more.) I went up deer hunting with Josh for 1 night and that was enough for me. I love to go hunting and camping just not like that. It was very beautiful though.

When I go hunting, usually with my dad, we generally pull right up to the animal and I ALWAYS bring something home!!! Hee hee!! I have to give my hubby a hard time. This year I didn't draw out on anything so I'm not going. Last year was very fun with my dad. I got to shoot my antelope that I'd been waiting for 7 years to shoot. It was such a fun experience. I shot it in the middle of a cow herd and when they saw us pull up in a white truck they ran for miles, they thought we were the farmer feeding them. It was hilarious!!!

I'm very greatful I have friends and family close this time of year so I am not completely bored. I'm on a house deep cleaning project now, I think I've bitten more off than I can chew!! Wish me luck!!
