Frogs!

We are now a family of 10. Mom, Dad, Quinn, Keely, Callie, Rudy...and 4 frogs! The kids each got a FrogOSphere for Christmas but they were out of the frogs in store. So we had to mail order the frogs which I waited until after our trip to Florida to do. They arrived in two installments over this past week. They live in sets of two in a tiny aquarium that seems pretty low maintenance. They only get fed once per week too so that's easy enough. The other animals in the house have not noticed the additions...oh, except for when Callie almost ate one. Yes when we were transferring them to the aquarium, one got loose and began hopping on the kitchen floor. Callie was instantly thinking snack time! She has grown accustomed to things that taste good falling off the counter :) We were quick to react though and she was sent out in the backyard while Quinn scooped up the loose frog and deposited him into the tank. Phew! Close call. So when the second set of frogs arrived, we let Callie out ahead of time. But still one was jumpy and got loose, hopping into Quinn's closet. Again, Quinn to the rescue and he was able to scoop it up and into it's tank where it belongs. So without further adieu, I present the latest additions to the family.

Quinn's frogs, Flipper and Flopper. They are placed on his bookcase with all the dinosaurs. I think he thought they'd feel more at home with other animals peering in :) Keely's frogs, Gabriella and Tiny. Gabriella of High School Musical fame and Tiny for obvious reasons but not really because one is smaller than the other. I doubt either child could identify the frogs with the names consistently each time :)
And a close up of Keely's. One was literally suspended on one leg. They don't move around much, I guess to conserve energy since they only eat 2 small pellets of food per week.
So there they are. Not sure how long they will last but for now, the kids are enjoying have their own pets in their rooms!
