Mouse Hunt or Mouse in The House

We have a big problem happening in my household.  We seem to be having a mouse problem.  Yesterday night while my husband and I were watching a movie we had a tiny visitor.  A mouse.  A brave little thing.  He was just wondering about the room, we would get about a foot away from it then it would skitter a couple inches.  Extremely brave.  Then came its little friend.  Another mouse.  Again not scared.  So we set out traps, which we've been doing quite often because this isn't the first time.  Then I had a wonderful female idea.  Since they weren't that scared of us why don't we grab a container and throw it on top of them.  Jer did it, I don't know if he thought it would work or he was humoring me.  It worked though.  We caught one of them, the other one disappeared, we couldn't find it anywhere.  Anyways we finished the movie with the container on top of the mouse.  The next thing was getting the container of the mouse and the mouse dead.  Jer cut out a piece of cardboard and we wedged it underneath the container.  It worked, then HE flushed it.  I couldn't watch, they may be dirty little creatures but they are sure cute little things.
