Oooooh what a week this has been!  I don’t know why but the children have been bickering non stop all week.  Last night I was up all night with them.  They all took turn waking up crying.  I think it was 6am when I finally fell a sleep then up at 9am.  Same thing bicker all day long. Grrrr I’d almost think it was the middle of winter boredom or something! 

Anyway we discovered that the evil rats we have been battling since we moved in this place are back again.  On of the joys of fall I guess.  Talked to a few other friends who are having the same problems.  We are getting ready to put out harvest in the cellar so dh put rat poison down there Monday afternoon.  Also he put some in the attic.  Well I went in the cellar Tuesday to get a few things and the bait was half eaten!!!  I also herd something in the attic….Then tonight I went up stairs  and something has been chewing a hole in the baseboard in the hall way and working on a spot on the ceiling to.  So I phoned dh at work.  This is the first time I’ve ever had to call him at work lol.  He talked to his supervisor and got off picked up more bait and headed home to set that out and patch up the damage.  He thinks they are chewing because they are dieing.  They did the same thing last year after eating the bait.  So hopefully they will be GONE soon! 

Yah know if I’d know this house was mouse/rat/chipmunk/wasp infested when we first looked at it we might not have bought it!  But eventually we will win the battle!  It’s already much, much better then when we moved in.

Tomorrow we are going shopping in the afternoon.  Then I have a friend coming over for the night.  Sat she and I and baby are heading out for a girls shopping day.  DH and the other girls are taking a load of rabbits to market and picking up more cage trays.  Hopefully the weather will be nice.  If it rains we’ll have to put off our girls day until the next weekend.  Can’t have the baby out in the rain going from shop to shop all day…

Oh thanks to our friend staying with us all our white potatoes are now harvested!  The yield was low this year, just to dry.   We planted one 50 pound bag and filled three 50 pound feed bags with potatoes.  I haven’t weighted them yet to see the exact weight though.

I also canned 5 quarts of tomato sauce today and cut out some diaper wipes.  Tomorow I need to get them sewn.
