Moles

Moles...I don't think while living in Arkansas we ever had a problem with moles...armadillos yes..moles no.  Well since out lovely Buddy has become an inside dog I have noticed that we have these "tunnels" in our back yard and lots of "mole hills"  So I called our exterminator...turns out whle they kill any and all insects/mice/rats they don't delve into the mole business but they do have a "mole guy" they can recommed.  So they give me the number...and honestly I was busy doing a million other things and I lost the number.  SO I get on the wildlife page for NC and find who they recommend.  Turns out their "mole guy" is the same mole guy my exterminator recommended.  So I give the mole guy a call.   He tells me he charges money to remove them...100 in fact.  Before I can say anything he say7s well...it takes a lot of work to remove them...honestly I don't really care how much it costs as long as I don't have to set the traps ( I like all my fingers and toes) and I don't have to get rid of them after they meet their maker.  He assures me I won't have to do a thing...so I think 100 is a fair trade (plus he doesn't take the money till after the moles are gone...I really like this guy!) 

Well mole guy comes out today and verifies that I do indeed have moles in the yard...he sets about 6 or so traps and tells me it will take 3 rains before he can say they are truly gone...something abiout worms and grubas and water...I wasn't listening b/c I was trying to hold a squirming 10 month old and corral Andrew who kept asking him  "where's Michael?" 

So now we wait...will there be moles on Friday when he comes to check the traps or will they have escaped?  

Now onto this weekend....I rented a seashell at the seashore...lol...no really I am serious.  At the beach on base they have these things called seashells...they are little cabin-like things that have a picnic table, dressing room, and shower right on the beach!  So Sunday (fathers day) we are getting up and eating B-fast at IHOP  or crackerbarrel and then heading out for a full day on the beach.  This is the first time in almost 2 years I have been to the beach...I know I know I am 30 minutes away from the beach and I NEVER GO....If sunday works out we may go more often ;)
