Squirrels Just Wanna Have Fun

I'm sure I've posted before 

about how Piper likes to put peanuts out on our patio for the bluejays.

Well we heard them calling out for their treat a few days ago,

and obliged by putting a plate of peanuts 

on the top of the girls' little slide. 

Piper and I sat at the table colouring

(Elliotte was napping)

when I noticed a little friend stealing our peanuts.

Piper and I had the greatest time sitting at the window

and watching the little squirrel gather and hide the peanuts!

Elliotte missed the big show,

but she did get to see him when he came back for a few minutes

the very next morning!

Ooooh look. A whole plate of peanuts for little ol' me!

A quick trip under the bbq to see if it's a good hiding place...

... and a little trip down the slide.
All work and no play is no fun!

Cute!

His hiding place for the peanuts was less that stellar.
He's going to have to work on that.
Blue found them immediately when he went outside
and had a little snack for himself. 

Watching him the next morning was fun,
but he didn't stick around very long.
That's Piper's picture in the window.
She drew it to let the birds know that it's safe to come and get a peanut
and that we're not going to hurt them.
