FROG BLOG

Ok, So for a second I thought the world was being takin' over by frogs. My husband went down into our basement a couple of mornings ago and there was aprox. 20 frogs hangin' out on our tile floor. They had worked their slimy bodies between the door jam and came into party. Thank goodness I was at work or else I would have freaked out. After investigation, a frog hatchery had been laid in the drain outside our basement door. We have hundreds of frogs, and I mean hundreds, crawling out of the drain at all hours of the day. We have let our kids keep about 12. The rest have gone to every neighbor, nephew, and cousin. John catches about 30 a day and lets them go in our flower beds. At the moment, he is frustrated while trying to catch a live fly for their dinner. I am kind of creeped out, but at least they are staying out of our house. I just have to keep reminding myself they are only frogs. Here are a few pictures of their takeover.
Just a few stragglers. John had already taken 20 or more to the back field


A shot down the drain

Some of Cameron's newest best friends. I think those one's are marshmallow and pancake.

Jason and I were laughing while picturing John catching all the froggies. When I lived in Plain City growing up, we used to catch frogs for pets all the time. I don't think I would be quite as fond of them now though. Good luck getting rid of all of them!!
