2 screaming babies and a lizzard....

Yep, that was last night right before dinner. Landon and Casey were both hungry and letting the world know about it by you guessed it screaming and crying as loud as they could!!!!!
Yes, I was quickly solving the problem as fast as I could possibly do when I hear a scream in the living room. It was a VERY loud noise because I was able to hear it over the two little ones. It was Shelby. She had spotted a lizard in our living room. Now Shelby has been known to actually catch lizards while at Mimi's but it must be a totally different when it's in your own home!!!
Ahh, Daddy to the rescue. Steve came in and we got a box with a lid to try and catch said lizard. It must have been a smart lizard because it ran for the TV. Yep the TV. The one place Steve would not really bother it--because as you know we are not going to damage this TV!!!!! Steve told Shelby that he would get it in a few minutes because he had to go and check on the grill. He was stalling trying to think of something to tell her tonight if we didn't get that little lizard before bed. His plan was to tell her that they couldn't climb stairs--I'm not sure she would have bought that one. And yes the 2 little ones were still screaming!!!
Finally we got dinner fixed and the little ones fed. Conner came over to play and as he and Shelby were going upstairs to play with Drew, Conner said "Hey there's a lizard on the stairs!" It surprised him because he thought that it was fake at first!!! Well the screaming started again from Shelby. Steve got the box and caught the little guy. He didn't have near as many places to hide on the steps!!! Steve took the lizard in the box and got behind Conner and said "Oh no it's getting on Conner's head"! Yep you guessed it more screaming but this time from Conner. Thank goodness, he did this to Conner and not Shelby!!! Finally the lizard was released outside so that he could be free and try to get back inside to drive us crazy on another day!!!
