Frog Pond

Matt with the biggest bullfrog in the world!!! Ok...maybe the biggest in West Bend.

A VERY dirty Simon with his frogs....about 20 in that little container.

Today was a day spent with friends at "frog pond". We have been there a few times with these guys, but have not ever seen many frogs. We thought the stories they told were legends and we would never see what they were talking about. Well....let me tell you. There were frogs EVERYWHERE. I think Simon brought home about 20. His buddy Matt and his super cool mom, Amy, caught 2 of the biggest bullfrogs I have ever seen in my life. It was very exciting!!

Tonight I worked at church and am now watching the Packers play the pre-season game. It is just not the same without Brett. M

Sad day

Thursday, today. We found this tiny adorable little duckling that was abonded by his mom and siblings. He had a hurt leg and they left him behind. SImon and I decided we would rescue him and make him well and then set him free. We took him with us to school, showed all his friends and his teacher. His final instructions to me on the playground were..."mom, take care of my duck until I get home" I knew I was doomed. Well, sadly the tiny duck died. Here is a photo of him. We then had a ducky funeral with some of his friends. It was all good until Jackson dug him back up and was carrying him around!! Daddy and Simon found a good spot for him and reburied him tonight, next to the 3 dogs and 2 cats we already have buried in the back yard. Rest in peace.

life is so busy

Where do the days go?? I try to blog everyday so you can all keep up with us, but at the end of the day, I am exhausted!! Lets see, we'll start with way back last Friday. It was our mom's and kid's Friday Fun Day. Some of us moms and kids from his class regularly get together to do a fun activity on Friday afternoons after school. Last Friday was no exception. We were all at the zoo. I have attached some photos of our trip. Who needs to see animals when you have your friends around to play with. It was a great day of fun.

Frog pond

Well, we finally made it to the much talked about "frog pond" We went with some good friends..it was all boy. They were so excited. 1 frog and 5 fish were caught. We were tormented by a big fish we labeled "dead eye" He looked like he had been hooked in the eye before but somehow escaped. Well...dirty dead eye would swim up close to the bait and then turn his nose up at it. He did this many times which was very frustrating to the boys would wanted to land a big one. It makes for a good fish story anyway. We have heard there are HUGE bullfrogs in this pond, so we will return!!
