Catching Toads
How do my girls catch toads? With butterfly nets of course! This morning, Allison and Hannah brought me a toad in their butterfly net. They didn't want to touch the toads so they improvised. Hannah thought it was hilarious when the toad tried climbing up the side of the net and then fell back down. They captured four toads and spent the rest of the day catching bugs, spiders, and flies. We looked for information on the internet as to what they typically eat and found that one toad can eat up to 1000 bugs a day. Sherri told them to get busy because they needed to find 4000 bugs in order to keep the toads in their small cage. The good news for any PETA members is that the girls were convinced to participate in a catch and release program. As far as I know, the toads have been set free.

You do know that if the toads haven't been released, I can't play at your house anymore!!
No worries! They are safe in the woods behind our house (unless the snakes get them).
Oh...I can only hope the snakes get them!!! I HATE frogs, I won't personally harm them, but I hope all the snakes in the world, get all the frogs in the world.
