Meet the newest member of our family. . . . . LEAF!

Thursday night after Growth Group, we headed to my parents house to pick up the kids. As we walked to the front door, there, right in the middle of the doorway, just waiting for us to arrive, was a toad! I mean, I hear frogs/toads every now and then, but I don't usually see them around - especially one this size. I was able to scoop him up and and contain him, then we took him, and the kids, home. When M & K woke up in the morning we surprised them with their first ever pet, and M named him Leaf. That first day we let them hold him and watch him hop around in an empty kiddie pool. Since then we set up his terrarium (M even painted the background picture for the terrarium) and we hunt daily for bugs to feed him. So far he's eaten some roly polys, a slug and a worm. We're on the lookout for crickets! What a fun first adventure into pet ownership for the kids :-p

I can't believe you just scooped him up and held him all the way home!? I would have been a little grossed out.... ;) hehe. But, yay for a new family pet! I bet the kids love it!
haha, we put him in a tupperware with holes in the top - although he did pee on me before I got him in there, yuck!!! But I don't mind things like that too much :) The kids are loving him, we'll have to have sammy & micah over to see him!
