Aliens in the Basement

Aliens, Mice, what's the difference? I'm not afraid of mice, but apparently when they run across my feet in the basement, I scream involuntarily.

I really am not afraid of mice - I do HATE the idea of them in my house, eating my food and running through my stuff though. That's just gross. We recently caught a mouse in the basement and I was relieved - then yesterday I went down to get some ribbon from my craft desk, I unintentionally kicked a bag on the floor and out ran the mice - right across my feet!! I suddenly heard this crazy scream and it took me a moment to realize it came from me! I'll admit, it was a little freaky. Yuck!

Immediatly after I returned up stairs with my full mouse-sighting report, Tate went on a mouse hunt. He "Kicked everything, and looked everywhere." Never found them. Oaklee keeps referring to them as scary monsters and won't go to the basement. Kyndi went down for a minute, but she stays up on a chair while Tate does all the hunting.
