Yikes!

Todd was in Shanghai so it was just Cameron and I for a few days.  I had just put Cameron to bed and I went to the laundry room to put clothes in the dryer.  I took one step in and saw something run across the floor.  Screamed and maybe wet myself a little.  I grabbed the broom and looked around the washer and dishwasher to see if I could find whatever it was.

It was a GIANT... KILLER...Lizard!  Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration.  It really was about 3 or 4 inches long and I'm guessing it couldn't hurt me.  However, it scared me.  I opened up the sliding glass door so if I caught it I could throw it out.  I was secretly hoping he would just walk out the door but of course NOOOO he didn't do that.

I ran and got Cameron out of bed.  He was just about a sleep so he was groggy and I kind of freaked him out at first.  Once I told him what I needed help with he was a little more interested but a little afraid like me.  I poked the lizard and he ran back under the washer. Shoot.  I started trying to move the washer to make him come out.  Finally, Cameron said "There he is".  I yelled "Get him".  Cameron grabbed the dust pan, scooped the lizard onto it, and threw it out the door.  We quickly closed the door.  That's when we started breathing a little easier.  Thank goodness Cameron helped me. 

Cameron went back to bed and I got the laundry switched.  At least we got him so I would be able to sleep.  Stinkin lizards.
