Frogs!!


My dad gave the boys some tadpoles around Father's Day in June. We had 4 tadpoles, which the boys decided not to name. Well, the first one turned into a frog and then promptly died because he couldn't get out of the water. I felt awful about that, so I got a stick and put it in the water so the little guys could climb out when ready. Well, the second one turned into a frog and promptly died too because he couldn't get out. So I filled the water all the way to the top of the container so they could just swim out. The third little guy turned into a frog, which John named Froggy Frog and he climbed out. But this is where he ended up! Somehow he got himself wedged in there like that and then fell to the bottom and got stuck under the landscape. So Mark and I had to tear the thing apart to get Froggy Frog out and decided to move them to a different home. Froggy Frog was happy there and was shortly joined by number 4 tadpole/frog. This one did not have a chance to be named because he climbed out of the water too early and died. We were down to just Froggy Frog and some spider got in there and ate him. I still have not found the spider, so visitors beware! But, at least he got a name!!
