What's in the Chicken Coop?

Sam's job is to take care of the chickens. He came in this morning and announced that he had found something in the chicken coop. He went out with a bucket and came back with this....
Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick,
Six, can you count them six, in the chicken food container. I am so glad that he went out and found that. I would have screamed and screamed some more if I would have been the one to open that container.
Their plan was to "...mash them with a hammer"{Emperor's New Groove}.
Noah was carrying the bucket away from the house so that they could smash them with a hoe, and looked down to see one sitting on his shoulder. OHHHH!!! it just gives me the creeps thinking about it. He flicked the mouse and in the process dropped the bucket full of mice. They only got to mash two. Good thing they were away from the house.
Caleb was inside...he couldn't bear the thought of killing them, so he stayed in with me. I think it might have been his prayers that saved the poor (disgusting, revolting, sick-me-out) mice. He is my animal lover.
Problem is, where there is six, there is six hundred. Please just pray I don't find on in the house. I will die of a heart attack.!!!

WHAT in the world. You do not strike me as someone who is afraid of little old mouse. JJ was drowning a mouse the other day and i was very concerned that he wanted to harm an animal. I feel better to know your boys wanted to smash them with shovel.

Yuck!!!! We had a nest of them in our garage in NSL every morning for about a week there was another one dead in the trap by our dog food. They are pretty disgusting! Good luck!

So funny. You really surprise me I never thought you would hate mice so much. Anyway since my parents live in the mountains they have mice as well. They have some good ways to make traps with bucket, water,toiletpaper roll, wooden dowelm and peanut butter if you need any advice on trapping them. Let me know! Until tben good luck! just keep them out of your house huh?! ;)
