Kissing Frogs...Literally!

My last post got a comment about a certain frog...I thought it was only fair to share the frog story with everyone.

Let me start by saying this... my mother hates frogs, she is scared of them, grossed out by them and just generally thinks they have no place in this world. Consequently, everyone she knows gives her frogs in many forms, fake ones of course, but it is fun. We torture her...and now, her favorite grandchild has jumped in on the froggy fun.

Lately, every time we wander into Walmart, she heads for the dollar aisle and loves to pick out a "squishy" bug or snake or turtle...and the other day, she found a frog. She just fell in love with it and all its green squishness. She especially wanted to get it because "MeMa doesn't like frogs and won't it be fun to show her!" Those were her exact words...she loves her MeMa - truly she does, but she loves a good scare and joke as well. And she has tortured my mother with that frog to no end. She carries him with her everywhere...and yes, last week, she "introduced" him to my friends, even letting one of my friends hold him for a bit while she (Hannah) played in the playroom at Chick-fil-a. It was a moment of extreme trust...she doesn't let just anyone play with her frog! I believe my friend has passed the Hannah test!

Tonight she asked me to take some pictures of her frog and his new friend. Yes, we have a new frog to add to the collection... he (she??) is blue...and according to Hannah they are married. Thank goodness, we wouldn't want any unwed frogs in our midst...mainly because they were kissing each other a minute ago and we frown on that behavior from frogs that are not married, or at the very least engaged!!

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw my friend's comment about the frog since I was in the midst of taking wedding pictures of the frogs at that moment. So, here are the pictures. I hope you all enjoy them, that is everyone but my mother.

As the ceremony begins...

Their first kiss...

I don't know if the worm is the reception food or the flowers they were carrying....

The happy mother of the bride and groom!!!



Yes, this is how we spend our evenings...somebody come rescue me!!! :-)
