Frogs...

Much to Jessica's happiness, we have many frogs that live around our house (and a few lizards!). We have a fat little frog that likes to burrow in the sand box. We have caught her a few times and we will put her in the kiddie pool to "keep" her for awhile.

We also have 2 more that live around the garage... Jessica has named those "Kermit" and "Spotty". They sometimes get in the garage and Jessica will set them free again (they are always in the same corner.) Kermit will actually let Jessica hold him for awhile... he also "ribbits" for her and he has let James scratch under his chin. Go figure... he acts more like a pet dog than a frog. As for the lizards, we have 2 that live in the bushes outside of our kitchen window. The male comes out EVERY day and sits on the gutter downspout. Jessica named him "Eyesie" - not sure why? Anyway, even the twins look for him at lunch time now. He has gotten in the screened porch several times... again... we MUST catch & release... Jessica definitely has a big heart for all animals (we won't even go into the fact that Jessica is upset we are putting up a fence... it will keep out the wild rabbits that visit in the early mornings and evenings). Here the girls are trying to "play" with the lizard after we caught him on the porch... he only tolerated it for a minute or so.
