Unfortunately, I'm not talking about my mother nor my mother-in-law who have been staying with us these last few weeks.

The other day we came home from running errands and my mom walked into the kitchen and was surprised by the a half eaten brownie sitting on the window ledge next to candles that were knocked over.  See photo of reenactment with brownie below:

My mom suggested that Luke may have set it down in a hurry when he was leaving, but later when we asked him he said he hadn't even had a brownie yet.  So I was kind of freaking out thinking that someone was in our house and for the rest of the night Luke was making fun of me because he thought that for sure either my mom or me had done it and had just forgotten.  Well then the next morning my mom walked into the kitchen and gasped.  There in the window were two squirrels!  Apparently they had broke into our apartment the day before and had come back for more! 

Photo of the chewed up screen minus the brownie:

We don't even have a ledge outside of the window.  They jumped directly from a bush next to the window onto the screen and chewed 2 holes in the screen.  We shut the window and later that day the two holes were one gigantic hole. 

Here is a picture of one of the culprit probably planning his next heist:

I guess the creator of the brownies (they were brought to us by a friend at church) should take it as a compliment that the squirrels were willing to go through so much to get a bite of those tasty brownies.

And here is a few pictures of Alyssa escaping out the front door in her jammies when we weren't paying attention that morning...I think she was going after the squirrels:

We have to leave the front door open when we use the stovetop because otherwise the smoke alarm goes off!  BUT we're moving on Saturday!  So we won't have to worry about that problem any more!

P.S. We had a baby two weeks ago.  His name is Evan Michael.
