Toad Hunting

I'm sure this is not unique to just my kids... but my boys LOVE toads.

I think toads are currently their most favorite thing.

And just about every day for the past month, they have spent at least some portion of their day Toad Hunting.


Let's just say it's a good thing I'm not too picky about the state of my Hosta bed...


So since this was obviously becoming such a large memory for this summer, I had to get some photos.

The happy hunters and their latest toad friend

 

 Time to find some more....

 He's ready.

 

 Pure concentration. ♥ Toad Catching is serious business, y'all.

 Getting acquainted

 Dirty bare feet and a bucket of toads.

I think this single photo pretty much completely sums up our summer so far.♥

 Bridger keeping watch

 

 Ah! An escapee! Get him, Graham!

 Quality Time

 ♥ ♥ ♥

 

 Holden 100% believes that he can "tame" the toads. 

He carried this one around forever and it never tried to hop away... so maybe he's not completely wrong!

But hey, I learned toads can do THIS. I had no idea. (And I must admit, although I would prefer to steer way clear of toads... *shudder*... this was actually pretty darn cute.)

Rotten, ornery, silly, loving boys.♥
