Can You Guess?

Well, rat number one was caught and removed, alive I might add.  But then the next night another rat was caught in the trap!  Dave was brave and went up there to try to remove it himself.  However, he escaped down the hole and we haven't heard him again.  We are working on getting someone out here to cover up that hole so no more rats end up in our ceiling!

Anyway, we are so excited to be coming back to MI in just a week!  After living among British (and a few Chinese) for the last six months, we have picked up several British terms that we all use now.  (Emily even speaks in a British accent now and then!)  So the kids and I came up with a list of terms that we know and thought it would be fun to send it out to see if you can guess what they mean.  Here they are!
