Best Purchase EVER!!!

So last fall when I was in New Mexico helping after my sister had her baby I was at Target getting some prescriptions filled and was burning time while they were doing that. I had my 11 year old nephew and Connor with me. As were walking around the store I saw some Cars rain boots. I needed them of course because all boys who live in the country NEED rain boots, aka Poop boots. Well they've loved them and used them a lot and will use them for a while to come because they are still like 2 sizes too big. This is not what makes them the best though.

Lately we have been having problems with two mice, one that eats the poison but will not die or go into the traps. Another that runs across the traps and does laps around our living room but won't even eat the poison or die. Well last night we rearranged the traps to make sure it would get caught. Well it worked for one mouse, sort of. The mouse is caught but not dead. The other mouse ate yet another poison packet but wasn't dead. It was laying in the middle of our entry way floor. Well Connor decided to pick up a shoe and try to squish it. Not so successful. It ran under a shelf and hid for a couple hours. Well I was going out to put some shoes on the shelf in the entry way and talking on the phone to my mom when I Tyler came out. I showed him the mouse so he put his poop boots on and started preparing to step on the mouse. Well of course he chickened out but Connor thought it was a cool idea and put his poop boots on to join the fun. Well after about five minutes Tyler informed me that the mouse was not moving anymore. So Tyler wanted to get rid of it. I gave him a box, and using his awesome poop boots, kicked the mouse into the box. Then the boys triumphantly carried the box out to the dumpster.

So here is the ode to the poop boots of wonder. They make even the biggest chickens able to do amazing things. They've helped the boys learn to ride bikes, run fast and now slay mice. Totally worth the $15 a pair I paid just 9 months ago. . .
