So Gross!

It was really cooling off nicely this evening so I thought I would mow the backyard before dinner. The grass was a little longer then usual because I didn't mow it on Saturday like I usually do.

Everything was going along fine and I was almost done and I heard this loud THUNK noise and I saw something go flying to my left. My first thought was that it was one of Lulu's dog bone toy things see chews on but as I continued to examine it, from a far distance, I thought I saw blood. Then I started to panic and try to think what it was, but I didn't know. So I had to get closer.

I then saw that it was a huge frog. It's body had been ripped open by the blade and its guts were all over. There was some wierd goo oozing out of it mouth...could I wait 7 days and leave it for Darrick to clean up? No that wouldn't work-either Lulu would try to eat it or it would get maggots and flies-gross.

So I called the boys and asked them to bring a trash bag. I told them something bad had happened while I was mowing the lawn and they were like "What is it? What is it?" I told them the lawnmower got a frog and pointed in the direction it landed. They ran over and right away Micah says, "That's cool!" "No it's not" I said, "It's sad" and Micah said "Oh yeah". Jacob didn't get to close. So Micah held the bag while I scooped it up but I just couldn't do it so Micah said he could scoop it if I hold the bag. So that is what we did. Thank goodness for Micah!
