Last night Lori came over and had dinner with us and just hung out and talked. We were all really excited to see her and that we didn't have to wait for Saturday as planned. She came bearing gifts for all of us. Thank you Lori. So very generous of you considering the high AU prices.
So as we were talking in the living room we noticed this disgusting skunk smell. I realized the windows were open to let in the good breeze. As I walked around closing windows I wondered where this animal could be because the smell was so strong. Well of course I had forgot to close the window in our bedroom so we had to light a candle to try to get rid of the smell. Apparently we thought it was safe to open the windows through the night, but we were wrong. The smell of skunk woke me up. It was so bad I went outside to figure out where it could be and sure enough there it was right out in front of my house dead with 2 other unknown animals. Yuck! When tess saw it she said, "maybe the animals were all holding hand crossing the street." Make sense right?
So as I was getting Bella ready for school I was on the phone trying to get a hold of someone to come pick up the big mess. Finally I got a hold of someone and they came within 30 mins. I can't tell you how happy I was to not have to look at the road kill every time I looked out my door/windows. I'm not sure how much it helped the smell though. My basement still stinks and right now I have the window open to my studio and as the wind comes in I can smell skunk. It's making me sick. It's sad because today is the most perfect day for letting in the nice cool breeze.

i am so grateful that you could watch estee yesterday because no question she is a handfull!!! this is why i NEVER sleep because the only time i can get anything done is when she is asleep... man, hopefully it is just a phase but i doubt it!!! thanks again...
Holy Cow, you've got road kill on your blog, that's awesome.
That picture of Lori and Megan is darling.
Sorry your cool breeze was tainted by the stank of the hand-holding rodents, who did you call to have them come get them?
Who came to clean up the mess? I didn't even know you could call someone for that. I remember in Provo last yr the leaves were all building up in the gutter and it started to smell b/c of the water stagnant, etc. and I called the city. I was so happy when they came and cleaned it out. Gotta love America.
Love the pictures- I mean road kill in front of your house- I wouldn't have taken a picture! Glad they came so quickly too. I always end up with a little of the gas station smell of gasoline, oil, and exhaust when we open our windows. Not so pleasant to say the least!
so y'all will think I am nuts, but one of my most favorite smells is skunk. I love how flowery it smells. I know.. crazy.
Adam and I giggled about them all holding hands. Too cute.
Had a good belly laugh about the skunk and Tess' remark about the three creatures holding hands while crossing. Ames, you must write that one down in her memory book somewhere. When Adam was five he came running into the house after dark to tell me that "the moon just LANDED on the mountain!" I have never forgotten it, it was so adorable. Tess' is just as good. So cool that you called and someone came to clean it up!
