Tadpoles, froglets & little boys...

So....several weeks ago we went down to the creek & there were hundreds upon hundreds of little bitty tadpoles & baby fish.

And I have little boys right?

So you know where this is going right?

Yup.

Daddy told them the fish would die if we took them out of the creek but we came home with 2 tadpoles a piece.

As Murphy's Law would have it, the aquarium broke as soon as we got the tadpoles home so a trip to Purgatory,  uh, I mean Walmart, was in order.

We picked up 2 totally cool little reptile houses & some frog food (who knew?) & started our tadpole adventure.

They did really great until we had a 112* day & 2 of them croaked. (Sorry. Frog humor.)

We had weeping & wailing & gnashing of teeth & a tadpole funeral & then we headed back to the creek for more.

And we checked books out of the library & we watched & we waited & you wanna see?

See him there? With his stubby little tail? And his buddy down there in the corner? He's only got his back legs so far.

Isn't he cute? Blowing his bubbles.

How cool is this one? He looks like a little lion with his big head & long tail.

Look at him in his little hideout ~ he's so small he could sit on your pinky.

This one has legs but still his big tail. He's starting to get his frog head though...

Aren't they cool? We've been having so much fun watching them grow & change. 

Blessings.
