House

So I made a promise to Autumn yesterday that I would post some pictures of the house before we took off to Helena tonight. PLEASE don't mind the mess! Hopefully these will give you a little taste of what our new place is like. And there is so much snow outside I didn't take an outside shot. I will eventually though. It's a little yellow(ish) house with a big deck on the front and a little one-car garage out back. We're having a good time making it ours! :) Pictures here. And P.S. I just noticed I forgot to take a picture of the bathroom. It has an ANCIENT tub with feet!!

Baby Babbles

I promise I will post pictures of the house very soon. I'm wanting to get things at least remotely organized first. In the meantime, here's a little taste of one of Tilly's favorite games.

Herman the Vermin

Okay, so don't freak out. Yes, we had (notice past tense...HAD) a mouse in our house. I named him Herman. He destroyed a perfectly good bag of my best bread flour, among other things. Anyhoo, we picked up a catch & release trap, hopeful that we could nab the little turd (and rid our house of his turds...) Abram concocted a fail-proof bait: A Peanut Butter & Rice Krispies Ball. What little mouse could resist that? We woke up this morning to find Herman eating his way straight to PB & RK Heaven...IN the trap. HAZAH! :) We put the trap in a box. I labeled it. (Hey, I'm still in moving mode, okay?) We drove a few miles out of town and introduced Herman to his new life in the fields of Central Montana. To be honest, we figure he'll likely get swooped up by a hawk or an eagle, but oh well! At least we don't have to know about it. I even documented his dramatic (not really) release. It feels great to have a mouse-free house!

Farewell...

...to our apartment!!! And hello to Farewell Street! We've purchased a little yellow house on Farewell Street here in Lewistown and will be moving in this weekend. I promise I'll take pictures and such when we get settled. We've been cleaning and painting for the past few days. We're soooooo happy to have our first real house with no shared walls and even a little garage. Hooray!!
