Jesse’s cousin’s wife, Danielle, was up from Mississippi when Melanie was born. She had a present for Melanie and had to get presents for Mallory & Maxwell too. She got them bug catchers. I tell you what – that was the best present ever!!!
We were at Jesse’s parents when they received them and they just so happen to have a yard full of tiny baby frogs. I really mean a yard full! Think back into Bible days and the plagues! The tiny baby frogs were everywhere! Which was so fun for the kids and their bug catchers. They filled their bug catchers and then brought them home!
So now we have frogs! And the kids love catching them still!
I think it would even be safe to say that they are catching something every day and put it in their bug catchers…. or frog catchers.
Mallory is a bit afraid of bugs… and these have really helped her with her fear. She is sometimes really funny about it. She’ll set her catcher with the door open next to something she wants and wait for it to hop, walk, crawl in. She will not touch it. She does catch frogs now though.
They catch their find and play with it for a bit. Make it a home in the catcher. Then let it go. Keeps them entertained for hours!
