Peter the Lizard Catcher

The weather here has been beautiful lately.  Cold in the mornings, but beautiful afternoons in the 60s and 70s.  The kids are enjoying playing outside again.  Andrew and I were just relaxing in the living room today when Peter burst inside, yelling for us to look at what he caught.  In his hand was a little, squirmy lizard.  He was so proud!!!  A few seconds later, he was holding the tail in one hand (still wiggling - ew!) and the rest of the lizard in the other hand.

Of course he wanted to keep it, so I found a little plastic box with a lid.  Peter gave the lizard some grass, a couple of rocks, a roly poly, and a piece of cantaloupe.  The lizard joined us for our bedtime story, and now both are now fast asleep in Peter's room, lizard in his box and Peter in his bed.
