I'll give you three guesses...


Name the nastiness and you get... um, nothing really! But better guess before you read more. The answer is coming.

Is it spring yet? Sure feels like it today. It was in the upper 70s here so we skipped our regularly scheduled roller skating and headed out The Hundred Acre Woods.

That's where Adam and Ryan decided to disobey me and hike to the creek where Adam fell in up to his neck. I wasn't being a mean mommy. I wanted them to play at the creek. It was just too far to go in the limited time we had today so I told them to wait until next time. They came back dripping and late. We rushed home to fix dinner. A friend of Jeff's had gotten some tickets to see The Harlem Globetrotters so we had to hurry. I totally would have cancelled the game after their disobedience but since the friend had gone out of his way to get two extra tickets for the boys, I didn't want to do that. They are going to be grounded for the rest of the week and weekend though. Rye is already moping about missing Nascar on Sunday.

I didn't look much better than Adam! I stepped in a giant mud pile while trying to steal some tadpoles. It looked like dry ground... but I sunk down to my ankle. ick! I did manage to bring home a huge glob of frog's eggs. I'm way more excited than I should be. We tried the tadpole thing before but they died. This time I'm going to the homeschoolers' best friend, Google, to find out how to hatch and grow frogs. Frogs' eggs are very interesting and gross at the same time. I'd never seen the actual eggs before today. They feel really slimy too. Nah, just kidding. That's not my hand. I stole that picture from the internet.

Just for the record, I did correctly guess frog eggs...it took me a minute, though. Weird homeschool mom that I am, I'm jealous of your frog eggs. LOL You'll have to photo journal the process here. ;-)

I recognized what it was. And, like Kris, I was thinking, "Man, I wish I could get me some of them frog eggs." LOL

And, honestly, this is terrible to admit, Mary, but it's so darn funny that your son fell in the creek, but I was expecting yet another break or sprain. I read your blog and think, "OHMYWORD, when my boys get older, heaven help me!" Boys are an adventure unto themselves, eh?
