Mice and Popcorn

Apparently we have a mouse in the house! The popcorn strings I so tediously made for our Christmas tree this year are chewed right off of the branches! Somehow a very careful critter has eaten half of the popcorn strings without knocking a single ornament to the ground! I don't know why he didn't bother to finish the string closest to the ground before moving halfway up the tree, but at least he was careful not to mess with my precious ornaments! I was planning to leave the tree up for a few more weeks, but now it looks a bit goofy. I'm anxious to be rid of the whole mess! I think a mousetrap will be waiting for our little popcorn thief later tonight! :)
