Result!

It's been a productive morning!  We decided to clear out the playroom in an attempt to find the remote control that has been missing for a week.  Plus there is always the bonus of clearing out some toys that the kids don't play with.  We hadn't started very long - but the kids were already bored and were playing while Steve and I did the grunt work - when we discovered the pesky mouse and more babies.  They had made a nest behind the stuffed toys box.  The young mice (bigger than the ones we found before) were easy to catch but we ended up chasing the mother around the kitchen for a while till we finally cornered it behind the cooker.  Steve managed to pin it blind, and we killed it.  Hopefully that is the last of the rodents.
Meanwhile, Kate arrived bearing my new camera.  I'm so excited.  I have missed having it.  I have even gone against character and read the manuals online so that I had a working knowledge when it arrived!!
We did get the playroom tidy and cleared out some toys.  We didn't find the remote, though!
However, when Steve was tidying the shoes, he found the remote in one of the shoes.
Aahhhh.  A satisfying morning.
