Do you know what these are?? They are baby mice. My family is a little crazy, but this is the story. My dad's car was giving him some problems so he's been driving the other car and his car has been just sitting off the driveway. It's been sitting there for about 2 weeks, (he has to get it to the garage). Well, he went to move it to mow the yard. The car wouldn't start. Wonder why? Well yesterday he decided to open the hood to check it out. He saw a mouse sitting on a nest. Oh my goodness. The mom ran in the engine. So he closed the hood and we waited a few hours and then we opened the hood again. We couldn't let them there and we couldn't just throw them in the field. We had a plan. (You can guess where this is going)
When dad opened the hood again, the momma was again sitting on the nest and my mom (who had gloves on) grabbed the mom and the nest and put it in an aquarium. Mom put the aquarium on the front porch and I saw her get some of the bird food and put it in the aquarium. She added some dried grass and some water. The mom mouse was freaking out running around the aquarium. Mom and everyone left the mice alone. When my mom checked a few hours later, the momma mouse (who we named Honey Boo Boo) had covered the nest and was hiding under the dried grasses. So we guess she is again nursing and taking care of her little ones.
The folks at the house are having trouble naming the babies. Mom's calling the group "Honey Boo Boo and the clan". But then today mom said something about naming the babies "Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy and Donald", but she's not sure.. I think Mickey and Minnie are cool names for mice, but I'm not sure about the rest of the names. Everyone has to keep thinking of names, but until then, Honey Boo Boo and the clan seems to be okay. We haven't seen them, the clan, they seems to be under the grass which I think that is good. I guess when they get a little older we will see them run around.
Does anyone want a baby mouse or two or three or even four or five plus a momma mouse??
Oh well, another crazy day with my favorite family!

Usually mom takes Penny when she walks with her friend Angie. Mom decided I could go along this time too. She decided she's be adventurous and take Penny and me. Mom's friend, Angie usually take two of her dogs but last night, Angie's kids Mariah and Noah decided to go for a walk too. So we had a huge crew!
Please met my new friends, in order as shown in the picture.
Mariah with Nemo, Noah with Max, Angie with Maya, Mom with me and of course my sister Penny.
We had a great walk, you can imagine how many times Max and I had to stop at poles, bushes and that kid of stuff. We walked about a mile and had a great time! Maybe next time you want to join us!
