Definitely Not Mickey Mouse

I'm sorry its been awhile since my last post. I've been having computer trouble. I know what else is new right?! Now its fixed( thanks to Lana) and I can share the girls' latest adventure. Riley and Piper woke up at 5:00 am on Friday morning and started taking their dresser drawers out to play with them. Ben told them to go back to bed. My husband is a early riser but even that was too early. They go back to bed and get up at nine. I tell them to start putting their clothes back and I will go get breakfast ready. Sounds like a good plan right?! What could possibly go wrong? Aubrey at this point is starting to fuss and I told her to go see what her sisters are doing. Piper then sticks her head out and says " Auuubbbbuuuuurrrreeeyyy come here!" in a singsong voice. That should have been a red flag. For all of you who don't know, Piper is not a big fan of her little sister or any child littler then her. Don't get me wrong she will play with kids but prefers the older crowd. Plus Aubrey really likes pulling hair and Piper is her main target. I really didn't put too much thought into it, I figured she was trying to avoid picking up her clothes . Riley ( our resident drama queen) starts screaming bloody murder. Nothing new there. I love Riley, she is one of the biggest joys of my life but everything seems to set the waterworks off. After a couple of minutes go by (to see if they resolve the problem first)I called for her. Ready for this? Piper comes out first holding something by its tail. As she is getting closer, I realize it is fuzzy and moving.Its a mouse! Not Mickey but a real one. By now I am thoroughly grossed out at this point, I told her to set it down. Poor thing is wet and isn't moving, still breathing though. I put him in a bucket and asked for the story. Riley told me the mouse rode on Diego's head (the dog) into the room and when she tried to hold it, it bit her. Piper adds,Diego had him in his mouth and apparently she just picked him up by his tail. At this point all three girls and the dog are surrounding him. Who isn't interested in the mouse? The cat. There is something wrong with this picture right? After a million phone calls later, Riley doesn't need to go in and get a shot. Mice aren't as prone to diseases as other rodents. We released him and hopefully he will be the last mouse my daughters catch.
