Weekly Ten For This Leavitt Household....

1)Satan tells us to do bad things.....Evelyn's new song she made up...ha ha
2)We had the craziest mouse hunt this week. Thurs. I took Evelyn to her first ballet class, more on that later. I took Lyla home to be with Trent so I could go back and get Evelyn and put a show on for Lyla to watch. I sat on the couch by Lyla Trent was standing by us. I see something out of the corner of my eye....MOUSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! It runs under our TV to our couch, back to our tv, to our refrigerator, down the hall to the exercise room, to our bedroom. Trent and I are on our hands and knees trying to catch/smash the darn thing. Of which I refused to do...stomp on it....eeewww. So we corner it into our closet. I called my neighbor Sandy Thomas she has a cat and my parents claim that if you bring a cat into a mouse filled house they kill it fast. However her cat refused to come into our house not knowing us. I wasn't too upset because I knew bringing a cat in would cause allergies. Trent is looking at it with the flashlight and tells me to find a bb gun. I call my neighbors the Schouten's amd book I mean....sprint over there. Grab some guns and sprint back. My mom was nice enough to go pick up Evelyn from ballet for me. Trent shoots the darn thing and injures it. It runs back and forth through the back of the closet. and back where Trent can take another shot. Under my shoe rack. eeewww. He said it was licking it's wound. Then it runs again where we can see it and disapears. Yuck the next part is gross....It was hiding in my hanging clothes....yucky isn't it. I left Trent to hunt down the injured mouse while tending to the kiddos. He said he was hitting the clothes with a yardstick in frustration, and he hit it so hard with the clothes that the stick broke. That is when the mouse fell down and he then hit it with the flashlight and then stomped on it. I was happy to be out of the room at this point. He yelled for me and said. "Tara, I got him". I need you to get me something to hit him with in case he is still alive. So I handed hime a metal tin and shut the door. He is dead, now I need something to clean up the blood spots.....ewwwwwww. And the fact that he was in my clothes was so sick to me. Time to wash them now. That mouse gave me such an adreneline rush that night...the most I have had in a while.
3)On my way our the door Friday Evelyn was walking close behind me and I didn't see her. I hit her with the door right smack in the face giving her a bloody lip and I felt very crappy. Poor thing. I think she forgave me....
4)Trent fixed up his families old Firebird that his sister got in a wreck with. He had been trying to find a buyer and we finally found one. My Daddy, him and my mom want a car that my dad can drive to and from work. Nothing special. It is just hard having one car ya know. We are so happy they want it.
5)Evelyn enjoyed her first ever ballet/tap class. Taught by Erin Cornwall, I was a little hesitant to start her in something at this age. But, I am glad I did now, she loves it so much. I can't wait to go back this Sat. Erin is a great teacher and awesome with kids. Plus she gets to do it with her best friend Macy Terril.
6)My Pilates class has taken off this week and I have had so many new people. What a fun week. I love when a newbie loves it and gets a great workout. Oh how I love to be a fitness instructor.
7)Trent is still patiently waiting for his Mustang to get painted and they are taking their dandy time. Poor guy;( It is going to be so awesome when it gets finished.
8)I did a very fun photo shoot today at the Old Simplot building and it was lots of fun. 3 kids and I am having a blast editing them. I am also getting a lot of props now. I am addicted to props.
9)Lyla, Evelyn, and I all got little colds this week. It was not very fun. But luckily they are pretty mild ones. Trent never gets sick.
10)This morning Trent told me that he has lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks. Jusr from eating less and feeding himself more healthy options. I am one proud wifey;) Now he wants to get in our exercise room and bulk up again;)
