We have hit a couple of milestones in our household!
First, we have a new Whistler -- DJ! He says that his current favorite friend at school, Hanna, taught him. It's awesome!!
Second, Elektra is now walking up stairs one foot per stair!
Hooray for the kids!!

With cold weather...
...comes creature trying to come inside.
Today, I went into our utility room to get the front storm door (to replace our screen door), and noticed that my bug traps were full.... full of mice. Oh there were plenty of bugs, too, but the mice were an unexpected surprise.
Interestingly, the sticky bug traps caught 3 mice. I had no idea that they were THAT sticky.
I haven't seen any mouse droppings in the finished area, so I'm wondering if drywalling/insulating everything has kept them out of those parts of the house. The only place they can get out of the drywall area is in the utility room.
Time to set some MOUSE traps.
I also saw live camel crickets. Those buggers are back, so I put out fresh glue traps.
Maybe I'll catch more mice along with the camel crickets.
YUCK.
