Skunk!

Emily sat a bag of goodies in the garage waiting to be delivered. We all went back inside for just a few minutes and Mom asked Emily to fetch the bag. We had much excitement when Emily ran out to the garage to get the bag and found a skunk inside of it! Inside the bag! She didn't even see the rascal until she was right up close, and she bolted in the house and was laughing/crying trying to tell us what happened. It was absolutely hysterical! We were all so thankful she didn't get sprayed!

So we put the damaged bag of goodies in the back yard and tried to attract it again so it wouldn't come back in the garage around the kids. Robbie, Megan and Mom were up talking when they saw the skunk coming for the bread.

Robbie took care of it and we've enjoyed a skunk smell all week. When Joey woke up to see it, he was thrilled and said, "That is the biggest skunk I have ever seen! Can we eat it?" Well, we've never tried skunk before, but we're hoping we never will.

This is the grass (a week later) where the skunk died. If it's spray can kill the grass, we can't imagine what it would have done to Emily and/or the garage!
