A LIZARD HAS BEEN CAUGHT!

Since day one, Jack & Sam have been with net in hand trying to catch one of the many lizards that are running around. I am happy to announce that the challenge has been completed...and we had a somewhat jealous older brother...but he's getting over it.

Sam (with a little help from Mom) snatched the little reptile up with his net and a couple of neighborhood boys helped him get it into an old toad cage. Jack & Sam kept it well fed with flies and ladybugs that they caught and were trying to be so convincing that they could be great pet owners and thought that they should keep it. Not ready for that yet. Tears did start flowing when the conversation came up about when it should be released, but Sam let it go the next day and he has been on the hunt for the next victim since.

Here is the poor little guy telling me "thank you for saving my life" before he ran off into the flowers... Run little guy, run!!
