Naughty Squirrels!!!

I decided to host Thanksgiving at my house this year. My side of the family is very large...I have 5 sisters. So once you add my sisters, their spouses and kids it can get pretty chaotic. My intention was to bring in my patio table and chairs, clean them off, throw matching table cloths over my kitchen table and patio table and have a few more seats for guests. So, I go outside to assess how were going to get the patio table in, and low and behold 2 out of 4 cushions have been destroyed! I was at an absolute loss. I had just been on the back deck less than a week ago and the patio set was fine. No one could really fathom what in the world could have done that to the chair cushions. My mom thought that since I don't bring the set into storage during the winter that maybe the elements had caused the cushions to split. Okay, it was the most logical explanation we could come up with. Not the case at all! Aaron and I have both witnessed squirrels coming onto the deck and leaving with a mouthful of stuffing. After we realized what was happening, I suggested we go out together and put the cushions in trash bags and take them out with the trash. Aaron said we should just let the squirrels have what they need for they're winter nests, they were already ruined anyways. What a kind husband I have. So as of now the cushions are still on the chairs being picked at by the squirrels. Looks like I'll be getting new cushions next spring :)
