From Dogs to Frogs

Hello everyone! The pumpkin seeds have now grown into some hearty little plants. So this morning the boys and I transplanted them into a planter we bought and set them in a sunny place in the back yard. They both enjoyed watering them and putting some miracle grow on them.

Lately it seems like everyday the boys want to play "Dog". This either means that one of them is the dog and the other the owner or they are both dogs. Is this some weird way of telling me they want a pet? Anyways, they really play the part and I try to play along too. I pet them when them come near and talk to them even though all they do is pant or bark. Well today Micah was the dog and Jacob the owner (see picture below). So I was teaching Jacob how to teach his dog Bobo (That is what he named Micah) how to do tricks and then give him a reward. They thought this was so funny and played it all morning.

Tonight as I was getting ready to write this, Darrick went out to move the sprinkler. I soon heard him knocking on the window telling me to come outside quick. There before us in the yard was the biggest frog either of us had ever seen, it was huge! (We put his picture below) It is so cool to live in Hawaii!

Hm... when I was a kid, I used to play pretend with my friends. Usually, we were robots or cops or superheros. I think I like the canine version better: you have more opportunity to teach them that way.

Man, they are growing up!
