Kids and Critters (the on going saga)

As you know I've had my share of critters in my house lately. Last week was no exception. I've lived in two houses in the area and have dealt with lizards, vinagaroons, roaches, and recently a momma and baby scorpion. Ick!! Last week while the kids were visiting and playing with Brandon, Isaac spotted a lizard crawl into the dogs water bowl, which is in our dining room. It got in the house from the garage. I was glad that this 10 year old boy was more than willing to catch it and release it. The lizard found his way back into our garage about 1 hour later. . I am perfectly happy to let him live there. I just don't want him in my house.
So here are a few pictures of the kids playing & the lizard as it was caught and released.. From nose to end of tail we guess him to be 8 inches. I made the kids wash their hands well after handling the lizard.

  1. That would be a lot better to find than the many other critters living near you! Your home looks so bright and cheery. And I love the lake nearby.

  4. Oh my! I'm not all that great with critters. Our recent tarantula was enough for me.
