Alvin the Dead Chipmunk

Yesterday while indulging our Wii addiction I hear a scream and door slam - now anyone that knows Avery knows that this is not unusual at our house - she is our resident DQ. Anyhoo, I look toward her room and low and behold - it is Alvin, the dead Chipmunk - Daisy, the one in our home that can do no wrong, has excavated Alvin from the front yard and placed him on our living room floor. I am thoroughly disgusted. We proceed to yell and tell each other to get it out. As we each approach poor dead, decaying Alvin, we begin to gag - me, big T and little t - Avery is currently holed up in her room! No one is up to the task - Daisy has gone from being proud of her prize to standing in the corner with her ears down - a sure sign the she is either a) mortified by our screams or b) embarrassed that 2 fully grown adults and 1 half grown child cannot stomach scooping up Alvin and returning him to the yard! T tells t I'll give you $5 to get it out of here! t proceeds to scoop up Alvin with my dustpan and take him out into the street - all while dry heaving - so now our neighbors are sure that we are certifiable! Needless to say, T owes t 5 bucks! Thank the Lord we have a child that will do anything for a dollar!

OH MY!! t and his uncle jamie share that trait. T could have gotten away with a measly $1 if Jamie had been there. Poor Daisy will probably not be bringing anymore animals...

Oh my! How lovely is that! Thankfully, the animals in our zoo can only bring their treasures onto the porch. Mice, birds, fish (yes, fish)!

You need to send that Daisy on down to spend some quality time with her 2 aunts down the road. Macy and Cleo would love to have a new hunting buddy.
