Frog Lifecycle...

As I mentioned yesterday, we had some tadpoles hatch in our swimming pool. =) Chlorine, shmorine, although from these pictures you can tell there wasn't much chlorine in there. =) By the time we saw them, they were pretty big, we only came across them probably 2 weeks ago and they're already turning into frogs. So here is the froggy lifecyle, as witnessed by the Dixons. =)

This is how big they were when we found them.



Seriously, it was like some scene out of probably Roz's worst nightmare since she hates frogs. =) There were TONS of them swimming all over the place. Dash thought they were awesome.

I think this was taken early last week, maybe late the week before that. They started sprouting legs...



This is what our pool looks like now, half of these suckers, full frogs but with their tails still out, and the other half are frogs. They climb up the side of the pool and hop to freedom, and every morning we go out there and see how many we have left. This morning we probably had 20 tadpoles left and there were probably 20 frogs on the side of the pool.



And finally...



(Excuse the color, it was dark out and I was just trying to grab a shot before Dash brought him in the house. I might be a tough girlie girl but I'm still a girly girl. I don't think I could handle a frog in my house.

This is from a few days ago, John got two of them in his hand...



You would think with all those frogs we would have a ton of them in the yard but either we don't or they're hiding. We even have a pond, and I don't see any in there. Of course the pond is covered with hyacinths and a lily pad, so they have plenty of places to hide.

I'm going to miss these little guys when they're gone for good, we've had a good time watching them. =)
