Even though we love animals, we are not a pet family. Although the boys would LOVE a pet or cat, this Mommy does not need anything more to take care of or clean up after.
So, we have been making due by catching these pesky creatures and taking part of a relocation project after some "play time" ;)
We, well Cameron, puts cheerios in the live trap, sets it and checks it quite often waiting for that little door to be closed on it's next victim!
I love this picture! Look at the chippy trying desperately to find it's way out while the kids try to "play" with it! Notice the stick in the little one's hand while it appears his brother is giving him pointers! (sidenote--yes the chippy's DO make it to the local nature trails as long as Haiden keeps the door shut) We have successfully transported 6 of them so far to new and exciting places, once they start moving again after the shock wears off).
And then from school we have become the owners of a hermit crab, Speedy. Which was fun for the first day or two and now mommy gets to take care of it(which kind of gives me the goose bumps for some reason and I am secretly hoping we can relocate this thing somewhere too).
Taking an up close look.
"If brother(budder as he says) can do it so can I!"
It is only allowed to crawl on the top of the cage after I found it creeping on my table!

This is so funny! I think that I should be glad that Trey is afraid of animals! I'm not sure that I could handle capturing chipmunks! YIKES!!
