Our newest roommates...

So, we live in a cute basement suite. The basement is pretty retro, I'm sure it was a real hit in the 70's... lot's of browns. Anyways! We always keep it clean. Just remember that. CLEAN!

Well, lately I've been waking up to flapping, scattering noises in the ceiling. Eeeyuck! We thought it was maybe a bat or bird caught up there. But we ignored it, until it persisted. One day we used tennis rackets to try and trap or hit whatever was up there...didn't work. So we set out a ton of mouse traps in the ceiling. That evening I was napping on the couch and woke up to a CRACK....then another CRACK. 2 traps went off. Gross. Check out the video of our little friend or I should say friends...

We ended up catching 3 total in the end... Buh bye.

Mike's Birthday 08

MIKE'S BIRTHDAY!! November 16th, same birthday as my brother Nath! We went to Medicine Hat with Linda to celebrate. We played games, hottubbed, open presents... aaaaaaand let's not forget the fire extinguisher... My family is all about scaring people. Enough said. We are working on a video of all the victims! Stay tuned...

We are DINKS!

Duel income no kids.... Yep. So why not buy a new couch?.... Why not have Megan lift it through all the many tight, jammed, narrow basement doors instead of me?... Why not?

Lyd's Birthday 08

November 5th, It's just another day... but for the past 4 years I've taken the day off work! Slept in, got a massage, went to the temple, spent time with family or friends. What a great day! Well I guess any day that I'm NOT working, getting a massage, at the temple... and hanging out with great people is always the BEST DAY!!
I came home from the temple to see our basement suite decorated with these tacky green Happy 50th streamers from Mike... Glad we share the same sense of humor, guess I don't need to buy decorations for his birthday ;)
