Wordless Wednesday ~ Toad

Summer isn't complete until one catches a toad. This little fella patiently let us snap some photos, then the girls took him down to the duck pond where we thought he'd be happier to spend his days.

Have you caught any toads this summer?

  1. Yes. We have these little ones that we find in our yard all the time. My boys like to catch them and slide them down the slide on our swingset lol.

    2. Look at you, mother hen. Nagging about the hand washing. I certainly did not. I immediately made myself a sandwich with toad germs all over it ;) Just kidding. Washed and sanitized first thing after releasing him :)

    1. As a mama of boys, I didn't think you'd be so hesitant to hold a toad. Surely they've brought you worse things :)

  12. No I haven't caught any toads, frogs or anything else for that matter--and neither has my cat-Of course she is an indoor kitty so she blames me that she hasn't caught anything.

  17. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww snap faint ew

    My daughter picks them up, and if she's feeling particularly rascally she'll tell me to come have a look (which she knows ain't happenin'). All of you gals (my girl included) are far braver than I.

  21. I'm not much for frogs, some years ago we were living by the lake and I couldn't sleep all night long for months until I got used to their noise. But they're cute though :)

  27. I haven't caught any toads in a real long time but I remember how much fun we had doing so as a child. We had a ton of toads and frogs out in the country where I grew up.

  28. I'm not sure I've ever caught a toad before! I bet it was lots of fun for your girls.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I don't think that I have ever been that close to a toad. I would be fascinated to be able to hold one like this.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I couldn't agree more! I know my kids found a ton of toads in just the past few weeks. They were ecstatic! LOL

    ReplyDelete

  32. I love him! We catch at least one a day. I have 5 frogs living in my garden pond right now. They don't even jump away when we walk up anymore. It's like they know we won't hurt them.

  33. I would die before touching a toad or frog. Ewwwww. I am deathly afraid of creepy crawly creatures

  34. My youngest son loves catching toads. That's a cute picture above. I'm sure the little guy felt safe near his long lost cousin. lol! I don't like how toads pee on their handlers, so I leave that part to the kids.

    1. Thankfully this little guy didn't pee on me. My girls thought he might, so they put on gloves lol.

  35. Eek! Toads don't normally freak me out but I won't necessarily hold one. They're fine on the ground.
