My Pictures

I really like that everyone is posting pictures. It's fun. So here are some of my pictures from the past few days...

These first ones might need some explaining...we have a squirrel that has been making our home his home for the past few months. When we are away house sitting for a few days we come back and we can tell he has been in there feasting away on whatever he could. This past week we were home and he was quite surprised when he popped into the kitchen and saw me sitting at the table. So after that we really started working hard to get him. We caught him in a trap twice but both times he got out before Shane could kill him. So Shane filled up his CO2 tank and bought paintballs and was going to have a little fun hunting him. This first picture is Shane practicing shooting:Then Friday night he went out hunting for him...Then Saturday we realized that every morning the squirrel wakes us up by chirping right outside our bedroom window. So we decided to put the trap on the porch that is right by our window. Sure enough by Saturday night he was in the trap and Shane caught him before he got out. You cannot imagine our joy! No more smelly, germy squirrel creeping around my house!! This picture is Shane getting rid of it...you can sorta see his tail hanging off the shovel...Then Sunday morning we woke up to another squirrel trapped in our trap. Sadly, he got out before Shane could kill this one. So you can imagine how sour we were when we found out there were actually 2 squirrels and 1 is still out there. Grr.

Anyway...here is a less disturbing picture. This is my niece, Tamara. It took Shane 5 minutes and bribing her with a lollipop to put that moose hat on and let me take a picture.
My final picture is just a random one of our friends: Kate is on the left and Angie on the right.
