Who ever heard of mice in the fridge?

Have you ever heard of mice in the fridge? I haven't, but apparently they exist. The other day when I went to get the block of cheese, this is what I found:


Yep, my cheese has been nibbled. Lucky for me, the two mice freely admitted that they nibbled it. When I asked why they did it, I was told "because we were hungry." When I asked them what they should have been doing instead of nibbling on my cheese, they said, "eating lunch." Okay, wait one minute. They were supposed to be eating lunch anyway, and so they decided to nibble on the block of cheese. Something's not quite connecting here for me. They know how to slice the cheese. I guess teeth are faster.

So now, how do you go about getting rid of the mice in the fridge? Any ideas?

The Power of Chocolate

This is the bottle:










This is the hole:












This is the finger that got stuck in the hole:















This is the girl who belongs to that finger that got stuck in the hole:

This is the story:
I asked the kids to finish up with lunch while I checked my email. Daniel had also been asked to begin his piano after he was done with lunch. Not very long after that, I hear the vacuum on upstairs. Once again, Daniel was doing whatever to avoid doing the thing that he needed to be doing. A couple seconds after that, I hear Megan make her shrill scream and began crying. My thought: Daniel must be using the vacuum to suck up Megan's clothes or something like that. I go upstairs to find that Daniel is no where near Megan, he is vacuuming the couch. I find Megan in the corner behind the front door, crying. I ask her why she's crying. She tells me that Daniel got her in trouble. She keeps repeating this over and over. I ask her how Daniel got her in trouble. Very slowly she pulls out her hand. Attached to her finger was the bottle. Insert: What could I do? Well........what did I do? I laughed. I couldn't really help it. While laughing, I was waiting for Megan to begin yelling at me to stop laughing because it wasn't funny. She never did, which was good. I would not have been able to stop.  There was nothing holding the bottle except her finger. This was a good thing because she was flipping that bottle all over the place trying to keep me from getting it. When I finally got it she was scared because it would hurt to take it off. That finger was VERY stuck. But a little bit of a twisting motion and I had it off. (Hurray for mom, she saved the day again.)

After she had calmed down a bit I asked her why she even had that bottle. She told me that both Daniel and her were still hungry. HUH????? They were still hungry so that's what they choose to go to?
