Saturday afternoon I was in the back feeding Sophie when I heard Todd and Tayson home from a "quick errand" to the pet store to buy a starfish for Todd's aquarium. I know better than to let Todd go to the fish store since I can't think of a time he has managed to leave the fish store with the "one item he needs to pick up". I thought we were safe this time since he had already visited his favorite fish store earlier in the day and he doesn't like the store he had to go to in order to pick up this particular starfish (which is food for 2 of his shrimp...sick!).
So Tayson walks in and yells "Mom I'm home and we have a lizard".
What? He's joking! Nope. He had a lizard and all the goods to go along with it. I was so mad when I saw them I actually said "what the crap?" right in front of the kids. Of course at this point I can't make them take it back or I would break Tayson's heart. UGH!!!
I have the feeling the lizard won't last more than a week or so before he escapes from one of the boys and Shadow eats it. Luke isn't scared at all and loves to hold him but Claire is petrified of the lizard.
The boys made their pet a new home out of Lego's.
He's a very fast lizard so it was hard to get a picture of Tayson holding him. Good thing Todd is fast and can catch it when it gets away.

Apparently Todd read your previous flashback post, and got a few ideas. Hee Hee! All those pets just got him to thinkin I guess.
Yikes! We are strictly a "no pet house" around here. But the other day Ali came home from church with a picture she had drawn of her saying her prayers, and across the top she had written, "I am going to pray for a puppy." Not in THIS house!
DO NOT LET NOAH KNOW ABOUT THE LIZARD!!! (He wants one and I think it would freak me out to take care of one. I am too much of a baby in that area.) Cute though~ Ha Ha.
