and there was an old bath tub set up as a home for two toads. 
i couldn't believe how much avery loved those things.  she was holding 'em two at a time, as if they weren't slimy and dirty and hopping and alive.  i was watching her and she was asking me to hold one and i just couldn't do it.

libby lou would have been proud of these two.
ashton was a little more reserved when it came to this frog holding business.
