frog

Yes, there was a frog in the living room. My bubby and our middle child went to pick up the oldest from school on a day that it was raining (hard). Me and the little one were sitting on the couch and our of the corner of my eye, I saw something move. I didn't see anything afterwards - so we went back to whatever it was we were doing. Then, I saw something move again. Now, as most of you know, my floors stay crowded with toys; however, this was not the case as we were anticipating company and had recently cleaned. So, I decided to see if I was really imagining things. After a few minutes had passed, and I felt silly for staring at my floor, it moved again. A frog, about 2" tall sitting down, with legs that went on forever. I almost let out a little scream because it startled me. I did not. I did, however, compose myself and pointed it out to the littlest one and we continued to watch this little frog hop around the living room. The poor little thing jumped into the wall a couple of times, and felt bad for laughing at it. Shortly after my knight in shining armor showed up brandishing a fearless hand (easily twice the size of our unsuspecting visitor) and snatched him up. With one threat to let him jump on me... haha... he allowed the kiddos to look and pet it before he stored it in a container as we determined what would be the next step. After a few short minutes, my hero dressed in his rain garb and braved the freezing, pouring rain in order to relocate our guest to our "pond". I suppose it liked it's new digs since we haven't seen him since!
