Our First Visitor

The day after my parents left (boo!) Chase also started his first day of work. After about 2 1/2 months, it was weird being home alone with just Mason! Things were going well until we came into the kitchen and saw this...

Well not this one exactly. I wasn't thinking about taking its picture at the time. It was trying to run on the tile and not getting anywhere very fast. That's when it started to freak Mason out. When it was still, he just watched it. I'm not a fan of reptiles so I wasn't sure what to do but somehow I didn't freak out! While I got a broom, Boxer kept sniffing it. I opened the back door and pushed it out. It really grossed me out! For days after Mason would go to the back door and hit the glass and yell "no" meaning no lizards. And whenever he saw the broom or heard the word he would do the same thing! I have to admit, for a few days I kept looking around the house expecting to see another one.

We saw one outside through the window when we were moving in and I was fine with them out there. We think one let itself in while the garage was open and the door was propped open while we were moving things in. But if that's the case, it means it was in our house for 2 days! Disgusting!

There are worse things here like scorpions. Thankfully we don't have those! There are tons of bugs and spiders here so it's a must to have someone spray monthly. I guess it's working because all the bugs I see in the house are dead. Still gross though! Chase says it's because everyone likes living in Arizona, even the bugs!
