Dead Lizards Don't Blink

For Family Home Evening tonight we decided to prepare the garden for planting. We had a lot of fun weeding, shoveling, and raking. While Anne was raking she found a lizard that she thought was dead. But as we picked it up and looked at it, he blinked. We realized he was just hibernating. We all debated what to do with him. But after a little "googling" we decided it was best to put him back in the dirt and bury all but his head. We hope he has a good nap by our strawberry plants! Anne named him "Rooty", because he came from the roots. She seems to think that they are now best friends.

There weren't enough rakes to go around. Elizabeth and Anne argued over this one.

They learn sharing is much better than fighting!

Janet wasn't sure she wanted her picture taken.

No Toller family activity would be complete without Morgan (Isabelle's friend) helping out.

Charlie digs up weeds.

Here is Anne explaining how they found the lizard "Rooty". She is a little crazy tonight. But we still love her...
