OH...possum!

Well, it's been a while since I have blogged so I have a lot of catching up to do but I had to start by documenting the day an opossum snuck into our house and greeted us during our morning school routine.

Troy was just coming down for breakfast when he saw what looked like a giant rat tail cruising around to the other side of the kitchen island. He went to investigate and found an opossum in our kitchen! I came downstairs shortly after and Troy just as calmly as ever says, "Mom, there is an opossum in the kitchen."

He said it so calmly that I didn't get what he was saying at first. When I discovered the opossum for myself, I sent Troy out the door to the bus and I ran upstairs behind a baby gate and called animal control. After an hour and a half they finally showed up and this is what they found:

The rest of the family lives under our shed
