SQUIRRELS!!!

Don't they just look so cute?
That is what they want you to think, but they really aren't all they are cracked up to be! They are annoying!!!!
What is she talking about you are asking yourself. Well about a week ago Caleb and I heard something in our walls and in our attic. I kept telling everyone that we had squirrels in our walls and no one believed me. They said it is probably just mice, even better thought right? Well I was right and they were all wrong. Caleb found a hole outside up by our window and sure enough squirrels going in and out. Needless to say I called the complex they sent someone out to patch the hole and set a trap in the attic to catch the squirrels. To date they have gotten 3 out and they think there are still more up there!!! They told me they will keep setting the trap until they are all taken care of when that will be no one knows. Having them up there sure makes for a hard time sleeping! I swear they are going to break through the wall at any moment.
I chose the picture of the black squirrel because we have tons of those out here and the first two they took out were black ones. Little devils! This last one was a gray one and I got a picture of it in the cage to prove to everyone that I am not crazy!

Not the best picture but you can at least see that there really are squirrels in my walls!
Just one more thing to love about Iowa I guess!
