Frogs love us!

We had a busy but good day today. The boys and I ran a lot of errands this morning. This afternoon we worked on setting up our backyard. Since the boys are getting older they are able to play without me right next to them at all times. So I thought I would set up the backyard so they can play out there. We dragged Tuggy from the frontyard to the back as well as the picnic table and other outdoor toys. We put a canopy up to give shade and a relaxing chair for me to sit in. Tonight we went to Walmart and I bought a red impatients plant to set by my chair. We are very pleased with the set up.

This morning when we went to water our pumpkin plants we noticed a few big holes in the dirt. I couldn't think what they were from. Upon further investigation and some moving of the pumpkin leaves we discovered that a frog has decided to make our box his new home. He seemed quite content buried in the dirt and hiding under the leaves. We posted his picture below.

Tonight when I went to put my new plant in the backyard I counted 5 frogs jumping around. When I walked around they would jump smack into our fence and fall down-it was pretty funny. For some reason they love our yard, and we actually love having them there!

Hi Jenn! I really enjoy reading your blog. Your family is really taking an adventure. You've been to more places than me and I've been in Hawaii for 6 years! We already miss you guys...

I thought it was only a matter of time until a frog would begin to live in the pumpkin patch...maybe it could be Micah's second pet...since Shark is no longer with us...
