Texas Creatures

Moving from one climate-type to another, I was nervous about the creatures I would encounter (ie- roaches and spiders). I have been a little surprised at the things I've seen so far. One night I came home from the grocery store. I walked up to the front door and to my surprise was a frog sitting on the front door! He was so cute!

A week or so ago, I walked down our half gravel driveway to get the mail. I noticed something moving on the ground. I wasn't sure what it was but it had claws and what I thought was a lobster tail. It was on its hind legs with its claws open ready to fight. I came back to the house and told Tyson that there was a lobster in our driveway! He laughed and went out to see what it was. He came back in and told me it was a crawfish. Aren't fish supposed to be in water? :)

A couple of nights ago Tyson and I were sitting in the livingroom with the lights off watching tv. I saw something out of the corner of my eye moving on the wall. I looked over and saw it move again. I told Tyson who jumped up and turned the light on. It was a lizard!! On our wall!! It was just a little gecko who ran like the dickens. Lawson was still trying to go to sleep so I went in there and told him to come see the lizard. The 3 of us finally caught the little guy after about 5 minutes and then threw him out onto the grass.

I'm hoping this is the extent of the "creatures" I will come across. I can't handle big spiders and gross roaches, although I have seen a couple of cocroaches. Bleh!
