Visitors Welcome...

Please meet Cheeto...his friends Frito and Dorito were not around for this picture (the boys named our friendly critters last year). Cheeto and his pals are on my last nerve! It wasn't like our deck furniture was awesome or anything, but at least you could sit on it. They've been ripping it apart and taking the stuffing somewhere...what do you think they're doing with it??And not only has our furniture gone to pot, check out our garden. With all this rain, it's grown into a jungle!! Not that I'm complaining. We'll have tomatoes and peas to feast on all summer!But somebody or should I say something has been eating a little earlier then I'd like. We haven't gotten a single strawberry yet because a thief is amongst us! Originally, I thought it was Evan sneaking a snack, but I have a hunch that it's the baby bunnies I've seen hopping around. Time to cage things up, I guess!
And we have a new front porch visitor, too. Maria the Moth took off after the tornadoes passed a few weeks ago, but this sweet bird built her nest over night and finally moved in today. Every time I'd try and move in close for a picture, she'd fly off and chirp away--probably hoping I wouldn't steal her precious eggs (which I assume are in the nest now, but I'm giving her some space right now).
Oh, but wait...these critters seem to now be invading the inside of our home! Someone sneaked into the present drawer and unraveled all of the ribbon, then turned it into a tangled mess and dragged it around the house with her.But this little critter is too cute to get annoyed at (well, at least for right now, anyways)!!

Yeah we had a robin that built a nest under our deck. When the babies were born they pushed one out and it was laying on our patio. Kevin picked it up and put it back in the nest and the next day it was dead on the patio. I guess they didn't want that one. So sad for the bird.

Sounds like you have a bunch of critters. I would keep only one and get rid of the rest if you can.

Sounds like you guys are surrounded! Come out with your hands up:)

I love those names - sounds exactly like something my son would have come up with right after trying to use Pokemon names. - Valerie

I have the same critter problems!
Only one problem is a bit gross and that is the fact we find dead bunnies in random locations. Yucky!!!! I still don't know whats up with that!

Jen said...

you are right. She is a cute little critter:)

The critters (two and four legs) can turn a normal family home into a war zone! So much fun for us!!

Andrea-to ward off the bunnies-try shaving Irish Spring soap by the plants and on some of the leaves. It worked for my dad. He loves to garden.
As for Anna-she's the cutest of all your critters.

Super cute (well that last critter anyway). I love that you name the "critters";-)
