I came home from book club one night and found Calvin in Clare's bed. I asked Clare why she didn't kick him out and she said he wouldn't leave. I asked Clare why she didn't ask Dave for help and she said she didn't know. Clare is a sweet girl. (they are not naked but the kids all sleep in underwear only for the summer)
We have watched this HUGE tree get cut down directly across the street from our house. It took a team of 4-6 guys a full week to get it chopped down. This pic is taken the day they were working at the tippity top of the tree. I can't imagine that job. So scary! The tree was huge and beautiful but apparently leaning a little too much towards the house and not thought to be safe.
Tressel likes sleeping with Lexey now. He is quite a bed hog.
Dave has a standing deal in the house that if someone catches a lizard he will take them to the nickel arcade. HE made this arrangement hoping the kids would spend more time outside chasing lizards but instead they wait 'til one gets in the house and catch it. I am not sure why we've had two lizards in our house this week. Anyway, Calvin picked up the lizard and then it crawled up his sleeve and onto his back
... then back to his front. He was trying to catch it the entire time but couldn't see it and couldn't move fast enough. He was very sweet and calm about it. If it had been one of the girls, oh goodness it would have raised the roof with all the screaming and carrying on!
Dave wanted to be sure to let jo pet the lizard (she did).
Calvin took the lizard outside to let it go.
Looks like Dave will have to take them all to nickel city.
(Yay for a couple of hours to myself one day! )
