A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

A Frog - the size of a cereal bowl!

Scenerio:
Max, the white bichon who thinks he is 150 lb dog is barking like crazy in the back yard.
Me,"Something is really bothering Max. The last time he barked like this we found a dead pigeon in the backyard dead from being shot with a bebe gun! Nic get on your shoes and get Max now!" I'm picturing my lab running through the backyard with the dead bird again and Alex running after him with a broom and scooping the bird over the fence - so gross!

Nic,"It's nothing, he's just barking at the gate!" He is carring Max and puts him down and Max immediately takes off through the dog door again.

Justin, who has followed Max out again comes running back, "MOM, IT"S A FROG AND IT HAS A HUGE BUTTE!"

"Alex!", I scream "Get out there frogs out here are poisonous!!! MY DOGS!!!!!!!!!!"

Nic comes back in the house, "Yup it's a huge frog mom!"

I then go out in the front yard to watch a spectacle unfold! My husband has now chased this frog that is literally as big as a cereal bowl out of the gate with a broom and he is now spraying water at it while it is holed up under the seburban. I do believe the frog liked the water, didn't faze him one bit. He wanted me to back the seburban out of the driveway but 1. there was no way I was leaving my safe spot in the garage and 2. there was no way I was going to contribute to a homicide by accidently driving over the thing! So my husband takes one of our street hockey sticks and uses the frog as a hockey puck. This is when I exit - yes, I want the thing out of my yard but i didn't want to see it hurt!

UGGG! I hate creepy crawlies, snakes and frogs!!!!!!!!

Ewwww! I don't want to deal with frogs personally either, and I don't want to kill them. Glad it was at your house and not mine.

just kidding ~ he flipped it away from your house!
