Big Brothers, Smells, and Frogs

Daddy was outside mowing today.  He said the other day he said there were a ton of baby frogs, but today he was actually able to catch one!

Look at it's feet!  You can see the webbing and stuff!

I ran inside to find Macey.  (Josh was already on the porch looking at it.)  I couldn't find her! 

I noticed Josh's door was shut, so I opened it.  The lights were off and no Macey.  I yelled for her again, but no Macey.  Then I heard a muffled sound.  It was coming from Josh's closet.  MACEY!  I knew EXACTLY what happened.  Josh has a horrible habit of locking her in places.  You see-she can't open doors yet.  Mean big brother.

So I took her outside to see it.  

Chad was very kind to it.  I know it's just a frog, but he's setting an example of how we treat animals.  Not only animals, but everything God created.  It may be just a frog to us, but to God, he even cares about the frogs!  (Okay, I know He said something about a sparrow, but the gist is small stuff.)

The frog didn't look so happy, but the kids were thrilled!

Josh ran to put on his boots.  

Daddy walked over to put it back.

Josh ran over with shorts on and boots.  Yes, those boots are snow boots.  But....they're boots.

He was looking for the rest of the Frog Family.

As we were over looking for the Frog Family, I said to Chad, "Man it stinks over here!"  I thought it was the trash can wafting over.  Then I got a wiff of Macey.  Yep, that explained it.  "DIAPER CHANGE ON ISLE 6!"

But she was happy to see the frog 'ribbit'.  It hopped away!

It was something small, but I guarantee you the kids will remember it.  

For a while at least!!!
