we have a PROBLEM

We ran into 2 major problems last Sunday: #1: we found out there was a candy loving rodent in our house.It leaves VERY sticky wrapper trails and we aren't sure how to capture it#2: we got dressed up, everyone looked super sharp, we were going to be EARLY to church (and Dad was at work, so we were all on our own), BUT, then we ended up looking VERY nice at WalMart for 2 hours instead, waiting for our tire to be patched.

We did have 1 MAJOR blessing (in addition to a BUNCH of littler ones, ie: mom miraculously not loosing it!): the best neighbors EVER! They saw us leave the house (and noticed a weird sound, then saw my very flat tire!), tried to call- my silenced phone in preparation for church- repeatedly and then resorted to running red lights in order to stop me before I got on the freeway with a screw punctured tire! (because apparently, if it's a back tire, and you have 3 kids in your car listening to and singing along with their church music and one crying infant, you don't notice a thing!) It really could have turned into an incredibly DISASTEROUS day if the Fife's hadn't saved us.
