Frog Fest!

This week's adventure was the junk/fish stand. Hannah and Kaela started out selling odds and ends from Keala's room. Some where along the way, they got the idea to sell fish and frogs from the pet store. Being the nice mom that I am, I took them to Petco to get some critters. The frogs they wanted ended up being more money than they thought, so Kaela just got one for her self. The 13 cent gold fish would be in at Petco on Friday so they decided to come back for them then. But, until then, we had a new pet to care for. We went home, ready to set up the frogs new abode, and were surprised to find 20 anxious frog owners waiting in line on our driveway. They were sadly dissapointed to learn that we only had one frog and it wasn't for sale.

Some of the future frog owners stuck around to see Kaela's cool spotted fire belly frog.

Friday finally came and the gold fish were a hit. Hannah ended up getting a spotted fire belly frog herself and she and Keala decided their frogs would marry. Matt got a fire belly as well and they all lived happily in the big plastic box out in the garage until Peyton, the neighbor boy, decided to take the frogs for himself. The kids recovered them three times and after the third time they couldn't find Hannah's frog. Distraught. Hannah and the girls made "Lost" signs for the frog who's real name is Max, but to keep his identity confidential, they called him Buddy.

Here's the girls with one of the signs. They put up 5or 6 of them all over the neighborhood.

So funny!!
