It's been a very interesting week. We had our niece, Autumn, with us most of the week. She came on Tuesday and went home today. She spent a couple nights here and a couple nights at Momma's (my mom) house. She is such a bundle of joy. Matt and I are definitely not ready for children yet, but are so blessed to have wonderful nieces and nephews. Matt and I have decided we want to be debt free before having children. Is they aren't ever going to have children running through your mind? Or maybe if I wanted to be debt free I shouldn't have married a farmer? Yeah, we've discussed these things too. Have to set goals in life to get anywhere in life, right?

| I know this is a long ways away, but this is my mom and Autumn shopping. Autumn had to have the little cart, but then grew tired of it so Mom ended up pushing it around the store. |
 |
| Farm girl, Autumn has no problem riding horses or being around animals. |
 |
| Or being a pretty girl with pretty manicured nails. |
 |
| This is Matt's birthday breakfast. Dr. Autumn was checking Matt out to see if he was going to make it to his next birthday. |
 |
| Things went downhill fast and he had to go lay on the couch. He had to see three different doctors before he made a miraculous recovery and slipped out while his doctor was busy playing with her crayons. |
 |
| Autumn and JJ running across the driveway. She had her hat on backwards and to the side. Such a cutie. |

| She's had to feed the horses at Momma's. |
Matt's birthday was on Friday. We had a birthday supper for him with our parents and his grandparents. We got him an ice cream cake. Yep, that's right and ice cream cake. I have a 24 year old child who has to have his ice cream cake on his birthday.
Now to the most interesting part of the week. Our house is overrun with mice! We had a problem around Christmas, but got them cleaned out, but they are back! I was dealing with them fairly well until they got on top of the counter. We have sticky traps, the old fashioned snap traps, traps that they crawl in then can't get out. We have everything! Unfortunately, we think that these are the mice that made if through the Christmas hunting and are a lot smarter! They are tricky little devils and not very particular about what they eat. They ate our bananas! We're going to call first thing in the morning to get somebody to come fix the holes. Lots of cats and dogs have been offered to us to get rid of them, but we want to fix the hole they are coming in. We have a deck around our house so it's going to be more difficult to find it, but we'll get if fixed!
I hadn't mowed our yard yet and it was getting kind of tall. I got that taken care of tonight so I'm hoping the mice see that and realize that people inhabit the house so they need to get out! That's a sure way to get rid of them right, mow the grass? I wish.
A lot of people are enjoying this time of year for mushroom hunting. Matt and I aren't mushroom hunters. The family that Matt bought the house from got stuck while mushroom hunting. We went and pulled them out and they gave us some mushrooms for thanks. Matt cooked them. Autumn and him really liked them. Me, not so much. So my recipe for this week is mushrooms!
Mushrooms (The way Matt cooked them):
Whisk an egg and milk together. Immerse the mushrooms in this, then coat them in flour. Then he fried them in our electric skillet in oil. There is probably more healthy ways to cook them, but fortunately we don't have to worry too much about that.
Hope everyone has a great week! Thanks for reading! Give me suggestions on how to get rid of these mice!
