A Lizard!!!!

On Thursday, I was cleaning the living room and doing something I don't do very often...dusting. heehee I picked up a magazine to dust the end table when a little green lizard jumped off of the table and behind the couch. I screamed like the little girl I am! I can't stand lizards!!! Ryland was watching tv and said "Mom, what's wrong?" I told him there was a lizard behind the couch and started to dial the neighbors house to see if he would come get the thing out of my house.

He wasn't home so I called James. After laughing at me and saying telling me it's just a lizard, I got off of the phone and waited the hour and a half before he got home. When he got here, he couldn't find it anywhere. My brave 3 year old was helping daddy look for it and then he said he wanted to kill it. Boys.... Well, I had to go to bed knowing there was lizard somewhere in the living room and it was still alive.

The next day, I waited all day, hoping the little green guy would come out so I could at least know the area he was at. James came home from work and was on the phone upstairs and I was in the kitchen when Ryland yelled "I found it!" James rushed down to see if Ryland was telling the truth and he was. Hallelujah, the lizard was caught. He gave it to Ryland to hold outside for a few minutes. Ryland just held him so gently and didn't want to put him back in the bushes. He even asked the lizard if he wanted to go back and the lizard "told" him he didn't. :o)

Long, Long story short...Here is the little lizard and he is back safely in the bushes, hopefully never to enter my house again.
