Summer isn't complete until one catches a toad. This little fella patiently let us snap some photos, then the girls took him down to the duck pond where we thought he'd be happier to spend his days.
Look at you, mother hen. Nagging about the hand washing. I certainly did not. I immediately made myself a sandwich with toad germs all over it ;) Just kidding. Washed and sanitized first thing after releasing him :)
No I haven't caught any toads, frogs or anything else for that matter--and neither has my cat-Of course she is an indoor kitty so she blames me that she hasn't caught anything.
My daughter picks them up, and if she's feeling particularly rascally she'll tell me to come have a look (which she knows ain't happenin'). All of you gals (my girl included) are far braver than I.
I'm not much for frogs, some years ago we were living by the lake and I couldn't sleep all night long for months until I got used to their noise. But they're cute though :)
What a great picture for Wordless Wednesday! I love this although I would probably have put a picture of my exhusband up! I love your statue he is awesome!
I haven't caught any toads in a real long time but I remember how much fun we had doing so as a child. We had a ton of toads and frogs out in the country where I grew up.
I love him! We catch at least one a day. I have 5 frogs living in my garden pond right now. They don't even jump away when we walk up anymore. It's like they know we won't hurt them.
My youngest son loves catching toads. That's a cute picture above. I'm sure the little guy felt safe near his long lost cousin. lol! I don't like how toads pee on their handlers, so I leave that part to the kids.
Yes. We have these little ones that we find in our yard all the time. My boys like to catch them and slide them down the slide on our swingset lol.
ReplyDeleteNow, that's a vine worthy moment lol!
DeleteI love this!!!! Giant toad and little toad :)
ReplyDeleteOur summer is just getting ready to beginning, however I never caught a toad.
ReplyDeleteSince it's just starting, you have all summer to find and capture one :)
DeleteOne giant toad. Haven't caught a toad in years
ReplyDeleteThe girls thought little toad would confuse big toad for his mother ;)
DeleteMy cat owns a couple of frogs.... he likes to play with them... they don't find it amusing.... so they bathe in his waterbowl for revenge....
ReplyDeletePS hope you washed your hands after touching the toad :)

Deletewell, it's because grannies here in my realm always told us that you will get warts if you touch a frog :)
DeleteI'd figure cats wouldn't show mercy to frogs
Deletehope this works?
ReplyDeletewell it did, I have no clue how..but Yay!!!! :)
ReplyDeletePs- I couldnt do that... you know..hold the toad :P
As a mama of boys, I didn't think you'd be so hesitant to hold a toad. Surely they've brought you worse things :)
DeleteKinda cute and yet only a little creepy.
ReplyDeleteCute little guy! We haven't "caught" any but we have admired a few. The kids are too chicken to touch them LOL
ReplyDeleteI have not caught a toad! LOL We have poisonous ones in Florida that are harmful to our pets.
ReplyDeleteI totally love post like this one! Beautiful photos and the frog is so cute lol :D
ReplyDeleteI've seen them as they like to huddle by my back door, but I am not brave enough to pick one up. Oh heck no!
ReplyDeleteAwe these are great picture. I love frogs!
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't caught any toads, frogs or anything else for that matter--and neither has my cat-Of course she is an indoor kitty so she blames me that she hasn't caught anything.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds crazy, but I love frogs and toads. I'm not allergic to them. They are perfect for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this post! I love when I can get my kids up close and personal with a friendly critter!
ReplyDeleteCool Wordless Wednesday photo. No we haven't caught any toads this summer. I'm sure my kids would have loved it if we had.
ReplyDeleteAw how cute haven't caught a toad this summer nor kissed any either.
ReplyDeleteewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww snap faint ew

I've not seen any toads at all this year, what a cute little guy he is! x
ReplyDeleteToads give me the creeps and my kids know that and chase me with them. Amber N
ReplyDeleteI haven't even SEEN any toads this summer! I love these photos. What a patient little toad!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much for frogs, some years ago we were living by the lake and I couldn't sleep all night long for months until I got used to their noise. But they're cute though :)

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen many toads from where I'm at, their usually rare to see around my area.
ReplyDeleteI love the top picture...so cute. I used to see these all the time but haven't in years. wonder what happened to them :(
ReplyDeletelook at those eyeees :)..no, I haven't caught any toads this summer...maybe we should keep looking :)..happy WW :)
ReplyDeleteOh goodness LOL I have not caught any, but our dog Taffy sure has! LOL
ReplyDeleteI haven't caught any toads in a real long time but I remember how much fun we had doing so as a child. We had a ton of toads and frogs out in the country where I grew up.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I've ever caught a toad before! I bet it was lots of fun for your girls.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that I have ever been that close to a toad. I would be fascinated to be able to hold one like this.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! I know my kids found a ton of toads in just the past few weeks. They were ecstatic! LOL
ReplyDeleteWe get toads in our back yard a lot and we like to catch them. I love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love him! We catch at least one a day. I have 5 frogs living in my garden pond right now. They don't even jump away when we walk up anymore. It's like they know we won't hurt them.
ReplyDeleteI would die before touching a toad or frog. Ewwwww. I am deathly afraid of creepy crawly creatures
ReplyDeleteMy youngest son loves catching toads. That's a cute picture above. I'm sure the little guy felt safe near his long lost cousin. lol! I don't like how toads pee on their handlers, so I leave that part to the kids.
ReplyDeleteThankfully this little guy didn't pee on me. My girls thought he might, so they put on gloves lol.
DeleteEek! Toads don't normally freak me out but I won't necessarily hold one. They're fine on the ground.
