Snips and snails and puppy dog tails
That's what little boys are made of.
Oh so true. I bought a butterfly net at the dollarstore since I had promised to do so if I ever saw one. I don't know what made me think boys would catch butterflies when it would work to catch toads with the same net. Andy told them to sweep it across the lawn then if you see something jump up off the grass it could be something to catch. low and behold it worked. Seven times over. It gave hours of entertainment, and a short life to the toads since there were a few experiments as to how to keep them alive (hmm what happens when you hold them under water?? or place a rock on top of them so they won't keep climbing out of the bucket??).
A new rule has been made, Seth and Tristan may play with toads as long as they are far away from the interior of the house, and as long as hands get thoroughly scrubbed upon entering the house. This way, everyone is happy:)
Your boys look like so much fun Felicia! I remember having hours of fun with frogs when my brother and I were little too... Loving your blog!!
