The Bat is Back

Or should I say, the bat never left.

The bat's name is Spike.

Jake wants to build Spike a house.

Zachary came bounding down the stairs a little while ago.

MOM MOM MOM MOM!!! The BAT IS IN MY ROOM!!!!!

Zachary wants Spike GONE. NOW.

Ben and Zachary are huddled together with the cat in Ben's room.

We are keeping the cat, they informed me.

Jake is asleep.

I did not leave him upstairs with the bat. Or should I say, Spike. I realize my error in leaving Zachary upstairs with Spike.

Zachary does not like Spike.

Walter is chasing Spike as I type. Spike scampered back to the eves.

Walter and I know there may be more than one Spike.

The boys are certain there is more than one Spike but we have denied this fact. This is called a little white lie. Also known as, it's the only way to get them to close their eyes and go to sleep.

Tomorrow, the exterminator is going to come and resettle Spike and perhaps Spike's family.

To the country. I'm sure.
