Leighton's first pet!

In the spirit of "when life throws you lemons make lemonade" we embraced our rainy wet weather to go searching for frogs! It rains so much here that we often feel stuck inside with nothing to do. After days of raining and on a clear evening we went on a walk searching for frogs. We went all around our neighborhood and not a single frog just a bunch of mud then as we returned home there was one on our back door!! Can you believe it??

I scooped it up and put it in a bucket and Leighton loved it. He can say the word frog very well so was really excited and everytime he jumped Leighton would laugh so hard, it was hilarious!

 

He carried him around the yard in the bucket for a little while and then we had to go inside so we let him go!

 

 

Leighton was sad to say goodbye and didn't seem to understand why the frog was eager to get away so fast...ah the simple things!

 

After we came indoors I scrubed my hands like a crazy person some how later when I went to take out my contact lenses I had the most intense burning reaction in my eyes! That will be the last gross slimey frog I pick up..from now on I will stick to toads! LOL!
