Bye-bye Lizard

Maybe I'm the biggest dork ever, but I didn't know what to do with the lizard. I didn't want to just put it outside if it was going to die. So the next morning I called Ohio Wildlife and asked them. They said we do have lizards here in Ohio, we just don't see them very often. They said we could just let him go outside. So we let him loose and he posed just long enough for me to get two clear pics before he took off into the flower bed.

No Way!

I've often heard people say about situations I'm in "that would only happen to you, Carla". Tonight was one of those nights. I was sitting here at the desk while I was chatting on the phone when something ran across the desk. I was stunned when it stopped moving in front of me and I realized it was a little tiny lizard! I didn't even know lizards were native to Ohio! I called for Jeff, who caught the little guy. We're going to hang on to him at least until morning because Trey will be amazed by it! I'll let you know what we end up doing...

Mohawk

Trey got a haircut yesterday and loves it... check out the new style!

Blue Hall

This weekend Jeff and I got some paint and yesterday my friend Amber and I decided to paint the hallway. We started around nine last night, after the kids were in bed. It was tricky with both of us working in the narrow hall, but painting is so much better when you do it with someone. We got it done pretty quickly, despite the fact that Jeff and I each stepped in a paint tray at different times! Yikes!

Fourth of July

We had a great Fourth of July, we went to our friends Masten & Angie's house for a cookout. There were a bunch of people there from church and from their families. There was a ton of good food, I think we ate all day long. When the sun broke through after the rain we all went outside where the kids all found the puddles and got soaked. Then Masten and Jeff took over the kids' slip-n-slide and started racing down it. We were laughing so hard! I didn't have my camera, but I'm hoping to get some pictures from someone else who did have one there. Regardless, it was a great day!

Hello!

I'm sure all you loyal readers out there have been wondering where I've been! Sorry to have left you all hanging. Actually, not a whole lot of exciting things have happened this week. We've been enjoying some great weather here in beautiful Columbus (and no, that's not sarcastic!) and spending some time doing family stuff - lots of parks, walks, fires in the backyard and playing in the sandbox.

I did find some time this past week to do a little scrapbooking, here are two of the pages I finished. They are both from early 2006 - I don't always scrapbook pictures in order. :)

Scrapbook Page

I haven't gotten much scrapbooking done the last several weeks - too much going on. But, I did this one over the weekend. The pictures are from February 2006.
