I called out to him and asked what he was doing. I was partly worried about him standing in the street and partly scared he was going to torture the frog. Are you going to hurt that frog? He was just trying to get it out of the street. So I told him I'd be right down.
I ran across the street and saw how really big that bull frog was and was all hang on- I gotta get my camera! And proceeded to call everyone else out of the house to come see.
Monster Frog:

I took a video of it after we got him to hop on the grass. You can hear Ivy's and Carter's infectious giggles. And my "extra kid" imitating the frog's whiny croak grumble he'd make with every hop. If you listen closely enough, you'll actually hear the frog. He made us late for a birthday party. But it was worth it.

Love it! I was such a tomboy growing up and loved playing with frogs. I would have been in froggy wonderland.
ReplyDeleteThat is one huge ass frog! The video is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThis totally made my morning! Giggles AND frogs, who could ask for more?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little thing for you guys! As a girl I loved frogs..so this would have been really exciting for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
That's a big frog! When we lived in TX we found one like that.
ReplyDeleteOH MY! I have a very big fear of frogs and that one was HUGE! If I had been in the video everyone would have been laughing.. at ME!! I would have been the one hoppin up and down and making noises! LOL
ReplyDeleteWow, Steph! That is one big frog. I showed my kids the video and they loved it. They were very disappointed that they weren't living in that area anymore so they could see that big frog. What a cool experience for your kids.
ReplyDeletewow, that was one big frog! what fun!! love the giggles :)
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the "hoppy toads" in Gram's window wells? If you don't, I'll bet your dad does.
ReplyDeleteThat made my morning :) Thanks for sharing the frog adventure!
ReplyDeleteEach frog does have the "prince" capability... so it's always good to be nice to one!! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge frog! I bet they get really loud at night. Carter and Ivy's giggles are truly infectious. Made my day to hear those happy sounds.
ReplyDeletethat think is quite large. i can not believe you go that close to it. then again, you ARE the mom of mostly boys. ;)
ReplyDeleteby the way - you just remind me of my family...because everyone flocked to my house for my mom's homemade popsicles. we were the "community" house because there were eight of us (7 boys and me). makes total sense that you have "extra" kids and one day, you'll be called, "mrs. p" and that's adorable.
what's up with my typing? "thing" and "got".
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things about this that I love! From the giggles, to the "touch his bum", to the "do we have all the kids?". I LOL'ed through the whole thing! So much fun on a Saturday afternoon!!
ReplyDeleteHow funny..love this so much. I could not believe the size. The giggles were precious. Hooray for Steph, saving the frog.
ReplyDeleteWe currently have a large (probably equal in size to yours...) bullfrog in an aquarium for the weekend...JUST so we can take it to the school to show the classrooms. It is then returning to the yard where it conveniently eats ALL of our mosquitos! :) That little buddy is HUGE!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE frogs!! And I don't think I've ever seen one that big in real life. Can you ship him to me, please???
ReplyDeleteGreat video!
I loved the line "Wait, do we have all the kids?" Hehe!! Cute video!! :)
ReplyDeleteHow funny. We loved this. Those laughs are great. Is Jeff your extra kid? :) He's making lots of funny noises at the beginning.

ReplyDeleteI love that your house is the "popular" house. It must be a fun and warm and welcoming place to be.
This may be intensely personal question and, if so, please disregard. But...do you want to have any more kids?
I'm glad I'm not the only one that says... do we have all the kids? lol best line ever. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a big frog!
