A whole bunch of stuff going on...

First off, I want everyone to know that my dear friends Roni and Craig had to move. They moved all the way to SOUTH DAKOTA. They are a very important part of my family and it was heartbreaking to see them go. I pray that they get nothing but the best. With that said, now to the funny stuff.
Sunday, after church we stopped at the pet store because we needed to feed Spots (the snake). So we got him two little mice because they were out of regular size mice. Then Jeff decided that we HAD to stop at Sports Authority because Aiden needed cleats and a bat for his first day of tee ball practice and this was our last chance to do it. I tried to tell him that the mice were going to die in the van but Jeff said that they would be fine. So we went shopping, we spent more time in there then i would have liked, but honestly, we forgot about the mice. When we got to the check out, there was a very long line. Aiden had started to do the pee pee dance so I told Jeff that i would take the boys to the van and he and Bella could check out. No problem! So I have Aiden pee by the van and when he was done, there was still no Jeff. So i told the boys that we should clean out the van while we wait. I grabbed the garbage bag (i always have one in my van) and saw the box of mice. OHHH YEAAAHHH! Lets see if they are dead so we can rub it in Daddys dumb face! Well they were not dead... but one was MISSING! OMG Are you freaking kidding me? So out of panic, i tell the boys to jump on to the seats and hang their heads down and look for the run away mouse. Aiden finds him running around. This scares the mouse into running faster and all around like a crazed loony mouse. Now, you have to understand, I am freaking out... i am jumping up and down, yelling, shaking... just totally losing my grip ok! Then i see Jeff, casually taking his time through the parking lot.. Does he not now i am in a crisis? "THERES A MOUSE IN OUR VAN!!!!" I am screaming..."HE GOT OUT..." Jeff and Bella come running. Now Jeffs trying to catch the mouse, the kids are running back and forth in the van watching Daddy and the mouse, and I am flailing around out side on the verge of tears. FINALLY Jeff gets him. WHEW...   Then we collect ourselves (myself really) and go home. Can you beleive that lil bastard mouse tried to do it again, while i was driving, I almost killed us all. Then we get home....
And the Spots the snake is missing. Oh yea, he got out of his cage and was slithering around somewhere in the house. He was pretty easy to find and get though. He went into the boys toy closet and curled up in a corner where he almost froze to death. We heated him up, fed him, and that was that. What a day!
