* Apr. 15, 2009 - The One That Got Away

On Monday we decided to do our Easter hunt so I went out to hide the eggs. Awhile later I saw a squirrel on our fence with a pink egg in his grimy little paws. I pursued him and he dropped the evidence, he wasn't clever enough to pop it open but had gnawed off the top of the egg and either lost or ate the chocolate eggs. This is no doubt the same squirrel which has been nesting in our treefort over the winter and wreaking havoc amongst anything the kids left there ie. feathers, nests, rocks, shells, pinecones etc. Needless to say we did our hunt then and there to prevent any more mischief. I also noticed a robin flying away with a gucky kleenex we had dropped accidentally outside in said easter hunt. I guess they aren't too choosy eh?On a sidenote, I have a friend who had decorated her table with a lovely set-up of wine glasses, dishes, napkins, lindt treats etc. She came home to find out that their dog had jumped over the kiddie fence from downstairs and gone up on the table to knock dishes about, eat chocolate and make chocolate smears. She wondered about the tinfoil he consumed. That would definately be the least of my concerns if I even allowed the poor mutt to survive in the first place!

when I first read that I thought you meant you hunted the squirrel to make sure there was no more mischief! I was imagining Jer killing the thing and disposing of it in some inconspicuous place. Too funny!
