Squirrels are dumb animals.

Squirrels that are indecisive get run over by cars.
Connecticut has had a wealth of lessons to teach me and my family. Today I had the epiphany that when we flounder, we are unprepared and we lose control of our situation. A lesson that I am excited to teach my children, the older they get. If there is something that you do not know, I mean really know, figure it out and then stand your ground. Because if I've learned one thing from the small rodents of New England, it's that indecisive squirrels get run over by cars.

*This small jewel of wisdom has been brought to you today in lieu of the very lengthy post about the very happy, very busy last two weeks of our lives. Stay tuned.

Wow! That lesson was pretty deep. Thank you for my lesson today.

And here I thought it was the stubborn ones that refused to move that got ran over.

Your first child was just baptized, Mo and Dad are visiting... and you give us a post about squirrels? I feel totally ripped off. I need pictures of the big, monumental events that I am missing!

I still love you though. Just don't let it happen again.

What. No picture of the furry little grease spot that inspired this nugget of knowledge? I guess that's probably a good thing.

Squirrels are dumb.. and racoons, are evil..
but what I'm really writing to say, is that I just read Sarahs blog.. and your "Holy delicious breakfast Batman!" comment made me LAUGH OUT LOUD.

Awesome, Emily! Thanks! I'm definitely passing that one along.

Thank you for the life lesson! Maybe I can someday use it in a gospel related lesson! Of course I will give you all the credit.

Squirrels are dumb...I still hate cats the most. But I really should be more grateful because the neighbors cats keep our house blissfully rodent free AND when they catch the mouse in our yard, they take it back to their yard to display it. Perfect.

Thank you for the deep thought. I'll file it in my "inspirational thoughts" binder under "small rodents".

And I thought I was the only one with the file "small rodents." How many small rodents do you have in yours?
