Giant Monster Invasion!!

Just before Mandy jumped in the big tub yesterday she opened the window for Peyton and me! It was amazing to have free reign of the house and be able to wonder inside and outside! I was the first to venture out with our long lost freedom. Mandy laughed at me and watched me as I reclaimed our back yard! Just as I ventured to the furthest corner of our yard I saw a Giant Monster through the trees! He had large black ball-like eyes, bright orange bleeding out of his ears, a jet-pack on his back, and a magic wand in his hand that was spraying something all over the bushes. He was the scariest creature I have ever seen! I went flying into the house as quickly as possible. Mandy looked up from the big tub and laughed at me. She looked right at the Giant Monster and kept swimming! Eventually, I decided if the Giant Monster had not yet attacked that he would not and I was safe. I quietly slithered back outside. The Giant Monster was gone, and he has not come back. Eventually Peyton decided to join Mandy and me outside and he explored his favorite bush. He had to reclaim it from a tiny spider. Peyton had fun hunting and killing the spider. When Mandy finished in the big tub, we were both ready to go inside. It is so nice to have Mandy home and we don’t like to let her out of our sights for long. She closed the window again, but we didn’t mind because it was wonderful to have it open even for a short time.

Just before lunch, Mandy left us again. I was afraid she wouldn’t come home for a long time, but she was only gone a short while. When she came home she had an armful of food which she shared with us upon her arrival home. It is nice to have Mandy back to share with us again.

We greeted Sam when he came home; we missed him while he was at work. After dinner, Peyton and I stayed with Mandy and Sam while they watched a movie. But eventually we tired of snuggling and wondered off to smell the one box Mandy still needs to unpack. When we got to the box, we discovered frogs on the front door and window! They were outside so we could see their bellies, and watch them breath. You might remember my one experience eating a frog and I vowed I would NEVER again eat another frog, but I sure had fun watching them. Just before bed time Mandy and Sam lifted us up above the door so we could see the frogs up close. I sniffed and sniffed, but I couldn’t smell much through the glass. Peyton tried to bat the frog down, but the glass kept the frog safe. When we went to bed the frogs were still on the window. As soon as we got up this morning both Peyton and I ran to the front door to check on the frogs—they were gone.

Peyton completely made up with Sam and Mandy over night. He jumped on the bed and snuggled them and loved them. Peyton curled up on Mandy she loved him for hours. I was jealous. I curled up next to Mandy before she went to sleep and she loved me until she fell asleep, but it did not take long before she was breathing deeply. Maybe I will start cuddling her over night too.

I was hoping that Mandy would open the window for us again today while she was in the big tub, but it is still dark outside. It rained most all day yesterday and it is raining again! Well, I am going to check for the frogs again.
