i never thought it would happen...

...but, GUS GUS has returned!!!

freaky? yes.

super speedy? yes.
impossible to catch? yes.
ugly? yes.
hairy? yes.

will he survive living in the mckinley residence? not on our watch.

{as you can see, danny is extremely mad and determined to catch the mouse...}

so apparently mice have a thing for us. two out of the three houses we've occupied have had these furry little critters. we haven't seen any for the {almost} six months that we've lived here but on thursday night gus gus decided to return. we were just getting back from a seminary christmas dinner and danny saw it scurry out of the hallway and under the couch. i didn't believe him at first {or at least i didn't want to} but i grabbed max {who was still sleeping away peacefully in his carseat} and set him on the table...along with myself. danny called clay {our trusty, awesome roomie} and he came down ready to help. for twenty+ minutes they searched high and low but somehow he evaded us and bee-lined for the laundry room...where we discovered a nice big hole. awesome. and the past few nights we've heard little clicking inside the walls. super awesome.

there is never a dull moment around here!
