It's a giant moth the size of a bird! No, it's a flying mouse! No, it's... a bat!

Scott rescued us all from the flying mouse with rabies yesterday. What a brave, brave man.

Here's the little bugger that had us all up just after 4 a.m.:

The kids were so wired after the adventure there's no way they were going back to sleep. We had a Cars movie party starting at 5:30. It was Henry's first time watching that movie. I think he's a fan.

Speaking of fan, we think this was the culprit. The design is flawed, if you can tell from the picture, on the side of the fan that has the accordion (supposedly to 'seal off' the rest of the window opening). There is a gap of space right above the accordion.

This picture was taken after Scott tried squeezing that corner of the window down further. The gap had been larger before the picture was taken, but it didn't seem large enough for a bat! The only other possible crack we found was a hole in the ceiling of the closet made for some cables. I sure hope that was our last bat.

Scott's story is below. It's very entertaining. I love it when he gets the creative writing bug. His stories are always fun.
