Frogs

Yes we are glad to be home.
The first week was pretty hard to adjust, the kids were all sick and the weather was so hot. Especially coming from perfect Idaho and Wyoming weather.
It was over a hundred degrees all week and with the humidity the heat index said it was 115 and 116. But we are past the sickness and it has cooled down slightly so we have finally come out of our cool apartment and have been trying to enjoy Iowa life since we are now on the countdown with only 9 1/2 months left to live here! So we are trying to live it to the fullest. We have been swimming like crazy and the other night we went out and caught some frogs!

Our apartment building has a pond right by it and we often walk down to it and watch all of the frogs, but if you go there after the sun has gone down, all the frogs leave the pond and come up in the grass and parking lot. (Yes there are a lot of smashed frogs everywhere).

I did not want them in the house. Katelyn and Kylie were so sad to say goodbye.

The girls couldn't have been happier with their frogs than if those slimy, yucky things were
adorable, fluffy puppies.

Katelyn's prayer that night went like this:
Heavenly Father, thank you for making frogs, thank you that mommy and daddy let us catch frogs, please bless the frogs that they will be safe, bless the baby frogs. Please let us catch more frogs tomorrow. And that was the end of her prayer.
