gotcha!! meet alvin....


we have a soft, cute, furry issue at our house..... CHIPMUNKS!!! well at least one for a fact, we are sure there are more......yes, yes, i know they are just so freakin' adorable but when you step in one of the many holes they have dug in my backyard and twist your ankle, let me know how cute you think they are!!!
our son has become quite amused with one of it's particular holes.....he goes over, sits down by it, plays in the sand we have tried to fill it up with and babbles as if he is keeping up quite the conversation with the furry vermin that lives in the hole, "run, little alvin, run ~ mommy and daddy have bad plans for you!"....we have tried lots of humane tactics to keep them from returning..... sand, dirt, bricks, rocks all strategically placed in their holes....only to emerge from our cozy house the next morning to see our filled up holes dug out!!!! UGH!!
well....today i captured a pic of our little backyard guest.....kinda sweet looking, so is a polar bear but i dare you to mess with her cubs! he just sits on the back porch every morning...sunning himself, warming from the cold earth he has inhabited all night....any suggestions????
