A few minutes after getting home Rosie was screaming at me that she found her lizard, and that she had just prayed and asked God for it and then then there it was! She was thrilled beyond belief :)
No more than ten minutes later she had found another one! We put them in her butterfly habitat with some leaves, sticks, and dead bugs. Rosie
carried them around with her everywhere she went ~ including to Missionettes :)
We looked up what kind of lizard they were and found that they were green anoles. Apparently they turn brown when they are stressed, which is why we now have brown anoles! I convinced her to keep them for a day and then we let them go yesterday afternoon. It worked out quite nicely though since we are studying reptiles and dinosaurs at school now.
This is the largest and first one she found. Here he is already turning green again after putting him back outside.
Here are both lizards together climbing up to freedom!
Hey Mommy, can I put it in my hair, like on the Parent Trap? Sure just don't put it in my hair!
She was so proud of them!
She was so proud of them!

Haha...that's such a cute story. Yeah, I'm there with you all the way mom...I am definitely not a lizard person either. I am still trying to figure out how I'll adapt to them when I go to Florida. Rosie made them appear to be adorable in a way though...so hopefully I can channel that girl in me when I come across one.
