Parties and Reptiles

It has been a very busy weekend for us. Friday night we had a 50th Birthday party. The kids had a babysitter and always love her.
Saturday Hannah had a birthday party.
Owen and Dad just chilling in the morning.
Ciara was bored with Hannah away so the neighbour Gabby came over.
Owen ran around with some of Hannah's fairy costumes cast offs after she went through outfit after outfit to get the right fairy costume to wear to the birthday party.
And then the most exciting moment in the weekend..........

A lace monitor. The neighbours think we are the Doctor Dolittle house. We have been getting a lot of creatures at our house lately. No snakes thank god.
Anyway the girls were in the living room and heard a noise. They came running to me saying mom the neighbours cat is trying to eat a lizard. I thought it was a little gecko. Looked out the window and this thing was climbing on the window. I grabbed the camera and made Gabby go get her parents to take a look. Eric was at the birthday party with Hannah. So this cool Lizard is actually very very nasty!! Bites bad, wipes his tail around and has claws like an eagle. (that's why they aren't the best photos I could get. I was a tad bit scared to get close as was my neighbour Samantha!!) Gabby's dad, Mike, called someone to come help remove it. Great gentleman that let us pet him and told us all about the lace monitor. They are actually migrating right now to find a home for the winter since the temperature is getting cooler here.
It's a crazy house here in Cobar. But such a great adventure. Eric is playing netball tomorrow for a charity event. I'll see if I can go get some photos of it as he has never played before, and for that matter neither have I. It's all good!
