It ain't easy being green.

Tadpoles.
Lots of them.
Sitting in a pretzel barrel on the kitchen counter.
Happy kids.
Excited mom.
Amused (I think) husband.

Last night at Youth group, Beth mentioned all the tadpoles she collected off of her swimming pool..... :) Having never seen a tadpole go from tadpoley to froggy, I was intrigued. She called tonight and said she had a bunch if we wanted them and it took me a split second to make up my mind!- YES!!!
Off we went, large plastic pretzel barrel and fish net in hand, out to the tadpole oasis! We left with more tadpoles than you can shake a stick at (What DOES that mean anyway?)- which translates roughly to about 100 it seems. We're looking forward to watching them grow into little frogs!

Does this mean should expect a future blog about a pleague of frogs or dead frogs you can't bare to throw out for months on end?

Are you aware that toads are also born as tadpoles? Just thought you might like to know that little nugget of information.
