Cute short story... Elayna has a new found love for frogs and Saturday she caught one while we were doing yard work...I couldnt believe she actually caught it! (she obviously did not get that from me!)
Anyway...She loved her frog. She wanted to keep it and feed it crickets (her actual words) and build a home for it in the throw-away glad container it currently lived...notice all the PAST tense...yes the inevitable happened. After we took the "Pet" with us to Wal-Mart and Braum's for groceries where he rode in the shopping cart at Elayna' s side the poor thing took his last ride home...
I was in the kitchen putting groceries away when a slightly sad Elayna said, "Mom I think you were right. (love that!) I think I need to let my frog go... cuz I think he's dead!"
Sure enough we killed the frog. After Chad came home from church meetings we had a funeral for "Froggie." Elayna named it after he died & when I asked her if she was sad and her reply was, "Yes, I am a little but happy that he'll live again after we bury him."
It was too funny! and sadly our camera had a glitch & the pictures & videos we took got erased... But after we burried Froggie Corbyn waved to the ground & said "Die, Die!" (Bye, Bye)...priceless!

That is such a cute story. I love the little things you did about your kids. It is fun to remember how they were when they are little. We had fun visiting with you guys a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully you guys will be down to visit sometime.

What a cute story! It's the best when kids sat "you were right"...ahhh, love it. :) She truly is a little princess.
Love, love the last posts. Too cute. Your kids are just so fun. I loved learning little tidbits about them. They are special little people.
Oh that's so sweet, and sad! What a brave little girl! That's just adorable that she is happy b/c the frog will live again. Ezra said that about the dinosaurs the other day and it was all I could do to keep a straight face.
