We've been "MUNKED"

So we went and saw Cars 2 and laughed when they showed a preview for a new "Chipmunks" movie that said "get Munked." Yeah well we got "munked" all right. We woke up this morning to chattering through the baby monitor in Emma's room. We just figured it was a weird bird outside her window singing which is a common occurrence, but it was just too weird of a sound, so Ty got up to see what it was and came back into our bedroom and told me that we had a chipmunk in Emma's room. Now to explain where he came from. We went camping Wednesday and Thursday night for our 4Th anniversary and while packing everything back into the truck Friday morning we saw him jump up into the bed of the truck and thought he had jumped back out, but obviously not. We think he got caught in all the blankets and has been living in our house for 2 days without our knowing it. Emma and I got ready for church and left so Ty could try and catch him. After realizing that he could escape beneath Emma's door into the kitchen, he tried barricading the chipmunk into the kitchen but he ran back into Emma's room and hid in the closet. Ty had already emptied everything out of her room so he made a hiding spot for himself, stuffed clothes into the crack of the door so "Alvin" couldn't escape that way, and set up a bucket, rigged with a stick and string and peanuts. It took all three hours while we were at church but Tyler reigned victorious and caught the chipmunk just as we pulled into the house. Enjoy the pics of Ty's hideout, the trap and the "munk" in the bucket after getting caught. We did return him to the campsite that he lives at.
