A Mouse "Tail" Continued

Well, as you can see by the picture, a mouse was found yesterday. I was sitting in my room and Evan was on the computer right outside the door when he pipes up and says "Hey, a mouse just ran under here." I wasn't getting off my chair, so I called the house phone from my cell phone to inform Adam that the mouse had been sighted. He tired to put some sticky traps around, but the mouse never went on them. Then it started to move away from the desk, so he got his bb gun and shot it. I was pretty excited about until I got a closer look. And.....it wasn't the mouse that I had seen!!! My mouse had been much bigger and brown. Even Adam affirmed that it was not the mouse previously seen in my shower.

So, now I was freaked because where there are 2 mice, there usually more. Later in the afternoon this was agreed upon as Luke discovered a baby mouse whose eyes weren't even open yet. Adam shot this one with his bb gun too. We are suspecting that there is a mouse nest somewhere in our basement. My dad brought home a bunch of snap and sticky traps, some of which (in the words of my mom) look big enough to catch a dog. My suggestion was to place them all across the door ways of my bathroom and bedroom so no mice can get in and I can move back downstairs (yes, I am still living upstairs). My dad laughed, but he didn't do it. :(

I'm not sure how long I'm going to survive living upstairs. Pretty soon, mice are going to sound like better roommates/bathroom mates than my siblings.
