It's a Good Day!!

It's a GOOD day!! Autumn & Brian FINALLY received their referral - man did they wait a long time for that. SO very happy for them! And 2 other families also received referrals. So...that means we are moving down that list.

That would put us at #16 for a boy and #17 for a girl. Now of course these are not "official" numbers from our agency. But they are official enough for me!

Also...wanted to give you a little update on the squirrel situation. So, Tim was realizing this his bb gun skills just weren't doing the trick. The squirrel was not planning on leaving anytime soon. He even somehow managed to get into our attic. I'm telling you - this is a PROFESSIONAL we are dealing with here. The little bugger knows what he's doing. Tim gave in and called pest control on Monday. So, they came over on Monday evening and set 3 traps outside to catch the thing. Tim is like a little kid on Christmas Eve...sneaking outside to take a peek to see if we had caught one. Well, Tuesday morning - nothing. He came home from work yesterday to see the squirrel standing on TOP of the trap munching on some of the peanuts that were placed inside the trap. Nice.........real nice. We paid the pest control people to come over and FEED the squirrel. Ugh. Ok, so again this morning Tim goes out...yep there he is eating his breakfast on TOP of the trap. So, Tim comes in this morning and says I'm calling that pest control place because the traps aren't working. He wasn't so happy. So Tim leaves for work and I'm still getting ready and I can hear the thing whining and whining and whining. I go outside....HA!!!! HA HA HA!!! It's in there!!! Squirrel - CAUGHT!!! Take that....sucka!!!!!!


It's a good day for the Prusts!!

oh squirrels!! My mom had a multi-year vattle with a few that continued to mess w/ her bird-feeder. She finally bought this feeder called a squirrel flipper-it was great-if a squirrel got on it (it had a weight/pressure sensor), it would start spinning and the squirrel would get flung off of it. very fun to watch. all these referrals make me excited-then scared-then excited-then nervous-then excited...sensing a theme?? but I keep thinking maybe by Christmas too-you just never know!!!
