No mice caught yet though, Edgar the Cat is still hiding from all of us. He ran around for a couple seconds when we first let him out of the cat carrier, and since has been laying extremely low down in the basement. Hopefully in a couple days he comes out and gets these mice. The pictures I have are just screenshots from a video I took, sorry for the terrible quality, but we literally only saw Edgar for 15 seconds.
Plotting his Escape!
Today the mouse was mocking me more than ever before.
All I could hear was the loudest scratching and thudding noises coming from my kitchen this morning, I thought these things are nocturnal? And then it decides to get super brave and just start running all around the kitchen floor. I tried smashing it with the broom, it laughed in my stupid face and went under the oven. I have half the kitchen in the dining room now!
And I still can't catch the little c word. I got a big assed bucket with water and peanut butter in it, and I'm just staying out of sight hoping the mouse goes in the bucket. Brendan comes home soon and will help me take all the rest of the shit out of the kitchen so that we can catch this fuck once and for all. Yes, this situation now requires much swearing.
Okay, Let's Think Happy Thoughts
Our son Kiedis has been begging us to let him join Steemit. He is really good at reading and getting good with spelling, so we figured, why not. It will be a great learning tool for him to get even better at spelling and typing. He was absolutely thrilled to read all of the comments on his first post, and has been answering them for the last couple days. If you would like to, you can watch: Kiedis Bowes' Introduction Post Vlog!
Below is a short video of him reading and replying to comments, as well as @hendrix22 serenading us with a weird guitar riff. Little Stryder there jamming out too, he had just gotten out of the bath. Welcome to our living room...
(Video 0:26)
And of course with @eddiebowes and @kiedisbowes on the STEEM blockchain, Stryder wanted to join too LOL! So we set him up an account as well, he was working on his first vlog last night, you'll find him at @alivefoxdeadfox with his first post soon (I know, he came up with a cool name right?! Jelly!)
This is the coolest thing too! I've been paying Eddie his allowance in SBD at his request, and Kiedis and Stryder have chose to receive their allowance in STEEM & SBD too rather than fiat. It's an awesome new era and our family is thrilled to be early adopters of a brand new way of living life. Ditching fiat and using our own currencies instead. This is all only just the beginning...
Whena you catch a the liddle bastardo you makea sure you killa him, his family, his friends and every one he a loves.
You canta takea chance someone willa come back for the vengeance.
Vendetta can go ona fora long time.
The Chicketta Family wasa ina Vendetta witha the Turkini Family for many years.
Paxo Turkini was a insane mother clucker, I had to stretcha his neck onea Thanksgiving after he killa many of my family.
I hada let him live a years before and he comea back to try and kill me. I left him ina the trunk of a the car with his ass full of chestnuta stuffing as a warning to a the others.
Makea sure the mouses and a all of his friends are a morte Lyndsay. You dona wanna the vendetta!

Omg hahahaaa I don't know where you come up with this stuff, but I love it, and you sooooo much!!!!!!! You are my main reason to smile around this place TP!!!
Thats cool Kiedis and now Stryder are on Steemit! What a good idea paying their allowances in SBD. I wish I could get my family on board but I guess theyll have to do it in their own time
AHHAAA!! YASSSS!!!! Numbered indeed!! Edgar the Cat is coming around, I wouldn't be surprised if I wake up to a gift tomorrow or the next day's morning.
If you stay persistent, I'm sure your fam will eventually get over here :) :) :) Fingers crossed!
The family that Steems together Plays and Stays together, or some such! That is amazing.
I still think while you wait on your frightened cat you should try the bucket trap, I'm telling you it works and then you could just let the cat eat it anyway ;)
Whether the masses realize it or not they all already use digital currency as there isn't even half the amount of actual paper printed to back their digital atm currency. And I just saw that now that Amazon is opening brick and morter stores, they accept amazon plus or credit/debit cards but NO CASH. So anyone who hides cash in their mattress, coffee cans or safe better start converting it to BTC or something equivalent or they'll be left in the dust. Interesting times we are living in.
We have snow rain mix. We have as yet to lose power, so that is good. @winstonalden did go in to the city today (trains were running) but its grey and misty over the sea as the temp is at 40 F and then rain and snow. I am hoping it turns to all rain and washes this away but if the temp drops, we'll get ice then limbs fall power lines snap no power same ole same old.
Keep warm and safe and safe return for you hubby and sons. Good luck with the mouse too. I'm expecting him, when you catch him, to have either a superhero cape on or glasses and sweater vest like the smart son mouse in that christmas cartoon 'twas the night before christmas'. :)
I can do nothing but laugh at your mouse capades. been there, seen it, done it. ah ha. drove me batty for weeks....remember. thought I had a raccoon in my attic.
Yeah they are unbelievably loud for such tiny things!! On a good note, Edgar is making herself comfortable upstairs now and should be getting us a prize soon!
Yes, hahaha came with the name! We are destined to have girl animals with boy names it seems LOL!!! I wonder what John Cena and The Punisher will think?
Wow! Stryder too? That's wonderful. They will learn quite a lot here, a brand new way of living indeed.
I wish you luck with your mouse hunt
Thank you for storming my blog, I appreciate it so much.
This is just so awesome to have the whole family on Steemit. Good for them wanting to be paid in SBD or steem. It is the way of the future. I like the video in the living room. Reminds me of when my boys were younger. Those were the best days. This mouse is too smart for his own good. The cat will come out and eventually, the mouse will be a goner.
It's so hard to stay in the moment and enjoy it to the fullest while they are young, I hear it so often from Moms who's kids are grown, that these are the best days. Thank you for reminding me again Ceci <3 <3 Hugs!!
Oh, good you have a cat now. Yes you have to get all the food a mouse can get into a plastic bin or bucket with a lid. They will eat through cardboard and plastic bags. When the peanut butter is the only food it can get to then you might get that mouse.
Hopefully your cat will feel more a home and will go after the mouse.
I think the cat loves peace so much... Or the mouse loves you so much, and don't want to leave you ... hehe @kiedisbowes In his video, he looks very shy... But here it seems the opposite... hehe
I wish him success and peace in his life
thank you @lyndsaybowes
Thank you for coming over @yagoub, he was very nervous to make his first vlog, it is very difficult to be in front of the camera for the first time and yes, he is not the shy type in person :) :) :) Thank you so much for checking out his blog!!
Yeaaaaaah you're part of the kitty club now! Hi, Edgar!!! 😺😺😸
Have you opened Manna accounts for the kids, too? I think they are locked until a kid turns 18, then they hopefully have a fund for whatever!
The last time a mouse got cheeky in the house (this was when I lived with my grandparents over 20 years ago), my grandfather got rid it as it ran across the kitchen counter.
Props to you for teaching your children through Steem!
Family stemian ahoy captains, what a fantastic idea, you are leading the way to a whole new way of life, massive big up to you. and if you want any more "mouser" cats, you can have any 1 of my 10 that I now seem to feed, and I started with only ? 1. Where they come from I have zero idea.
I love the video of your son and I love his name Kiedis. He looks so happy and so excited, that's how @joordanzzz was whe he first joined and me too, even though we are way older, but that is what steemit does to everyone I guess.
Super cool and fun stuff! Wishing your family alllll the best 🌻🙏 i am pretty fucking grateful that you're early adopters too!!! Wouldn't be here without you encouraging me along. Woooo! Go gettem kitty 🐱🐁 did you see @exyle's mouse situation ? His avoided the trap too and enjoyed the treats!! Oh these rascally mice!
Aha!
So...
In order for me to get a cat (my bf won't let me)
I first have to get myself some mice, so we will then "need" a cat, to tackle the mice?
Plausible, not?
Welcome to your kiddo!
Hiii @lyndsaybowes, Good Evening
Hope your all the family is fine. and Now a days your family is in war against mouse. funny and interesting job,,... HAHHahahaha. and your new Weapon CAT should got some result. keep it up.
Its very amazing that your Eddie, Kiedis and Stryder join Steemit. I heartily Wellcome them and my best wishes.
It my great pleasure to welcome Edgar the Cat to steemit. She must have been an athlete.
I look forward to reading more from her replies and her dealing with mice
Ha good luck on your mouse hunt, I also have one in my kitchen and I've been trying to track him down for a month or so . it keeps going quiet and then he pops back up to taunt me so I can relate to your problems lol
A huge welcome to Kiedis .. you guys are a steem powered force of nature! Keep it up!! :D
