Well, it was interesting--it was hilarious.
To backtrack, last night, at around 11:00, Joey started barking. He never barks unless someone is on our property, so we thought it was odd. Just then I got a text from Nathan saying that if I heard someone outside, it was probably "the Easter Bunny".
I forgot about it until this morning, when I realized exactly what it was that the squirrel was eating.
(Here is a photo journal of my ideas as to what was happening...)
So, last night, the "Easter Bunny" left plastic eggs with candy and even money inside of them for Noah and Eli to find when they woke up. Thankfully, I got up early, at around 7:00, otherwise I would have missed out on all these photo ops.
I took a bunch of pictures, and then I collected all the eggs--poor kids!--so that the squirrels wouldn't get ahold of any more. I wish I'd have thought to leave eggs with walnuts inside for my squirrels--next time for sure ;)
I did good with Day 3 of 3 for my challenge today--I'll write a little recap tomorrow and I'm going to set some goals for another 3-day challenge. I really like the short challenge of just three days.
Happy Easter! I hope the squirrels made you smile :)
Wow love the pictures of the squirrels. They are fantastic shots. Thank you for sharing! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I used Noah's "fancy" camera, which definitely takes better photos than my old iPhone ;)
DeleteThey are hilarious!Are all squirrels in Michigan that chubby or just yours? ;o)
ReplyDeleteApparently, it's just mine! Hahahaha, a few of them are pregnant, I'm sure, but my squirrels are definitely spoiled ;)
DeleteThat is too funny! A bummer that it didn't work out for your kiddos to find the eggs, but great pictures :) Do you think the mama squirrel had her pups yet? (I just had to look up what baby squirrels are called ;) )
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they were called pups, either! We have a few that I believe are/were pregnant, and I *think* one of them looks like she's had her pups already. I wish I could see them! I've never seen baby squirrels before.
DeleteHa, too funny!I never would've thought about squirrels taking eggs that are left outside. Something to consider!
ReplyDeleteIt never occurred to me, either! Next year, I'll have to leave them their own eggs, filled with nuts :)
DeleteLoved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) They are funny!
Deletethat is hilarious! you definitely need to leave them their own easter eggs next year.
ReplyDeleteI am for sure going to do that! It never occurred to me before this happened. It'll be fun to fill eggs with nuts and then watch to see how they react to it!
DeleteFirst time reader. I'm really enjoying reading some of your history. You have done an incredible job keeping your weight off. Even if it's not 100% of the loss I'm incredibly impressed that you've kept a large portion of it off. The hard work shows!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Theresa! Keeping the weight off has been SO HARD. Especially the last couple of years. I just hope I don't keep gaining!
