Leapin’ Lizard - UPDATE
Many of you may remember one of my most renowned posts about a frog getting loose in our house. Well, we’ve had another green critter enjoying the comfort of our home. This one managed to live in our humble abode for several days. That’s right. Several days.
So a couple of days ago I see this tiny (unbelievably small) lizard crawling down our hallway. I tell Kristin to grab a cup for me to catch it with. In the mean time, this crazy thing gets wind of what’s going on and takes off into our closet. I track him for all of about two seconds and then me and Kristin decide it’s a lost cause for the time being.
Fast forward to tonight. I happen to see the little guy out of my peripheral vision in the general area of the last encounter. This time he’s extremely still and in a vulnerable position. Again, Kristin grabs a cup and tosses it to me. After a brief chase I’m able to secure him in the cup. Then I released him outside. It was truly the excitement of the evening.
***UPDATE: By reviewing the photos, I realized there was a discrepancy in the color of the two cups. After running back through the evening’s events in my head I remembered that the chase involved both Kristin and I, and it was actually my wife who was able to trap him. I then slid the paper underneath and released him.

I have no doubt that this truly was the excitement of the evening!! Too bad your killing method wasn’t as exciting as Dexter’s
Miss you guys! Love the new hair!

I did think about slipping a needle in it’s throat and seran rapping the room, but it just seemed easier to let him go.
P.S. Flights are cheap and the beach is here, why aren’t you?

Don’t feel bad Misty. Those things are fast and evasive.

Very good catch! Glad you didn’t kill the little thing…I mean all of Kristin’s shoes would probably lure me to the closet as well!
Love the hair J!!!
