The elusive squirrel

We bought our pumpkins awhile ago and Evan went to work right away on carving his. I will admit that his pumpkin was pretty amazing this year. I wish I had taken a picture of it so you all could see how brillant it was.

Here's why I cannot show you what it looked like. We have a very hungry squirrel in our neighborhood. The day that we bought our pumpkins we left them outside and this squirrel ate all the stems off. He then started in on the pumpkin itself. Since then he has taken the tops off, at first ate half of Evan's pumpkins face off, and now the entire front of his pumpkin is gone. When Evan found said squirrel gnawing away on our pumpkins he tried to scare it away, which did not work, and then he started throwing sticks at it to get it to leave. The squirrel slowly scampered up the tree with the pumpkin top in his mouth.

This is the same squirrel we believe that gnawed on our front porch post all summer long. Digging into our wood post so badly that Evan finally tried to repair it. With Liquid Nails. Now I'm pretty sure that wasn't the best material we could have used and I did try to voice my opinion, but at least the squirrel hasn't tried to eat the liquid nails material yet.

So I have no amazing pumpkin pictures this year. And I have yet to get a good picture of Liam all dressed up as well. He has been in his costume at least twice and all of my pictures are horrible. I've got one more night to get at least one good picture. Wish me good luck!
