If my girls could say one thing they love about Texas it would be the toads that come out after the rain. Since we have hit record rain fall this year, there have been plenty. My girls have always enjoyed catching bugs, in fact Maddie had at one time created a Rollie Pollie zoo. She had some Rollie Pollies as giraffes, some as penguins.....it was great! But Nicole and Maddie's Favorite thing to catch now is toads. The only problem is Maddie gets attached and wants to keep her toads. Every night the sofa of "Let the toads go" begins. The other night, she tried to sneak a toad to Grandmas house, which is an 8 hour drive. My favorite is when Jake convinced her that the toad had babies to get home to. She say, "How do you know." Jake told her the toad had nipples. So she agreed to let it go. Nicole is good about it, she usually catches them torchers them for awhile, playful torcher, and then lets them go. Maddie is a lot like me when I was a kid, the more pets, the happier the girl. i have to admit it is hilarious when she makes them dance with their bow legs. Here are some pics of the girls, they are hot and flushed from catching toads.
