Holy Toads

Not only do we have turtles in Texas but we also have toads. Jay found the first ones over 2 months ago. That day it took Jay about 30 minutes to get Bubba to even touch the toad. Now he can't keep his hands off of them.
We see them outside the apartment complex almost nightly. We made a deal with the kids that once they catch one they can keep it until the following night. One night the kids caught 8!! Since then we have had to limit it to one toad a piece. On another occasion we were walking on the grass and I stepped in something squishy. We looked to see what I stepped on and the kids realized it was a toad. What a gross feeling.
To date the boys have caught a couple dozen. We have never seen so many toads. The boys sure are going to miss them as we don't have any in ID.
