I've Had It!!

Many of you know that we have an apple tree in our front yard. This tree has brought us much joy over the last few years. However, it has also brought me many ulcers and white hairs. You see, we live in a neighborhood overflowing with little kids, and not a single one of these little mongrels has any manners. Each summer as our apples begin to grow my front yard is crawling with these greedy little apple-stealers. They come and taste the unripe apples and throw them on the grass half eaten. They try to reach the highest apples and break tree branches off leaving us a graveyard of leaves and apples and branches. I have yelled at them. I have made them drop whatever they have in their arms and demand that they leave my property only to have them return within a couple days time. I have even waddled myself down the street 8 months pregnant (with Gabe), knocked on a door and told a mother that her daughter is a repeat offender and I'd like her to PLEASE keep her kid out of my yard and away from my apples!!!!!!!!!!! This apple tree is the bain of my existence every summer!!!!!

So, imagine my pleasure today as I walked through Walmart and found this sign!!!

I doctored it up a bit, as you can see ..... and it's going in my front yard!!!!

I WILL GET YOU YOU APPLE STEALING DEVIANTS!!!!
