frogs and fighters


Another Saturday helping get the neighborhood pool ready to open yielded a few surprises.  Three frogs were found when the deep end was finally drained.  Harrison was in frog heaven.
Two of the frogs were released and one came home with Harrison.  Grace thought about kissing it for a half second to see if he would turn into a prince.  This is as close as she came before deciding it wasn't a good idea.
This frog kept trying to escape and finally succeeded.  Harrison enjoyed having him as a "pet" for three days.  Ironically, that's the same amount of time Leo had his little frog before it escaped.
On the same day as the great frog find, Leo prepared to go to his first ever live professional wrestling match.  This was his birthday present from Aunt Becky.  She painted his face to look like the headliner, Jeff Hardy, one of his favorites.
He had to stop by the pool so Jeff could see how awesome he looked.
I believe this was kind of a farewell tour so it was at a high school, which meant that they got to sit super close and high five the wrestlers when they entered the gym.
They also got to high five them on the way out.  Jeff Hardy actually stopped to tell Leo that he looked "so cool".  He was the only kid there with his face painted.  It was the thrill of a lifetime for Leo!
The side-by-side of the face paint shows what a great job my sister did.  We didn't have any pink paint but I think the red looks better.
