Tootles

This is the newest addition to the family. He's a working mouse. We are using him for various photo projects and I must say, he is wonderfully co-operative and an amazingly friendly little critter to-boot!!

I absolutely love this photo! Reminds me of that movie... was it Mouse Hunt? He's cute anyway and looks like lots of fun.

Thanks! Oh yeah... I vaguely remember that movie. Did we see that with the homeschooling group?

I am having tons of fun with him and so is Jessi. She plays with him CONSTANTLY!!! We had the thing out for a couple of hours today and the poor guy got so sleepy. We finally took pity on him and let him sleep for a bit and then he was out again. I'm telling you - this guy is earning his keep over here!!!! But he seems to like it - he gets to explore new places he'd never see otherwise!

It seems like you could write a children's story book to go along with a series of photos like this one!

I'm actually considering a couple of board book ideas. One would be There's a Mouse in the House and the other would be Mouse through the Year. That one could also be a calendar. I've already got several pix for There's a Mouse in the House.

I want to see it when you are done.

I'll try and post 'em when I get them done. I've got a ton of projects going right now though - so it could be a while! The first one we are doing is a book of projects to do with a digital camera. Not quite as fun and exciting but probably highly marketable. We are going to query asap! And hopefully sell it BEFORE we put too much work into it.
