toadally cute

We found a cute little toad

hopping around in the grass.

I would have stepped on him

had he not hopped away...

startling me...

and causing me...

to let out a little...

yelp!

He was so cleverly camouflaged

by the grass

it was hard to follow him

as he hopped away.

But then...

my boys

put him in a box

so they could get

a closer look.

My youngest son Easton

had no qualms

about holding

the warty little fellow.

I...

however...

am WAY too squeamish

to touch a toad.

And besides...

if you touch a toad...

you'll get warts!!

RIGHT?!?!

Well...

I know

that is just

an old wives tale...

but...

it sticks with me!

It was so cool

to really get

a good

close-up

look

at the bumpy

little creature.

I don't know why it is...

but...

whenever my family finds

a frog or toad...

which isn't too often...

we just think

it's the greatest thing ever!
