Kids tell the truth- (most of the time)

I have been thinking about what i was going to blog about all day today, So many ideas have popped into my head but the best thing I think to get out there (story wise) this year is my frog story!

Any mother of a boy can all tell you the same thing, they are NASTY!!! And (like Men) tend to be great story tellers! Asher is a very literal child with a very vivid imagination! He (so Far) is the one with such an amazing imagination! I come home from work and all he can talk about is this giant frog that is in our pool!! He stretches out his little arms as far as they will go. MOM I'm telling you it was THIS BIG! I'm not telling a lie mom, you know Jesus does not like it when I lie. (thank you to the christian mother's day out!) LOL so I walk over to the pool with him that is about 1 foot deep. (we have not cleaned it out this year yet I might add) its really hard to see the bottom because of all the leaves, so I'm convinced that it was a big toad or something and the story has been stretched.....maybe a little! 

 Next day again after work he is going on and on and on about this Goliath sized super frog and again we walk to the pool side stared at the empty water  for a few minutes and....... nothing.
.....

 As we are getting in the car after Jeremy gets home, to go to eat or something, he IS STILL going on and on about it, Jeremy and I start poking fun and laughing about how big our special guys imagination can be, well all be darn it if as we are walking by the gate where the pool is, he shouts at us, "see look there on the pool ladder, I TOLD  YOU I WAS NOT LIEING"  Low and behold there is a GIANT BULL FROG on the dang ladder edge. The pool got so low so fast who knows how long it had been stuck in there just getting bigger and bigger and bigger!!!!!! So Jeremy and him rush to try and get it while its on the ladder..... no luck the giant jumps into the water and hides in the muck!Jeremy is thinking umm Did you see the size of those frog legs!!! LOL (We are red necks i know) But you can guess from that day for like the next week we were out there with our head lamps and net's trying to catch that sucker.... with no luck!! BUT one faithful afternoon when i got off of work i see my mom coming down the pool steps with a net that you can tell is really weighed down! After putting the pool drainer hose in and the water got down to about 2 inches, she was next to it re arranging stones and she kept hearing,THUMP, THUMP THUMP on the pool wall, She said she almost had a heart attack when she looked over the pool side edge!!! And of coarse my son booked it across our property and immediately went into a very frantic search for just the right bucket to put his new pet in!! I truly believe Asher will be the next Crocodile Dundee!! Or bear Grills! he is such a BOY!!!

Unfortunately, the bull frog got left out side in the Cheetos bucket that was filled with water and jumped out? He was only left alone for maybe 10-20 minutes and then bam gone! (lucky frog) seriously not many of Asher's um "pets" don't get to go see Jesus. Sad but true he is not a gentle creature. LOL

Moral of the story, sometimes and I STRESS sometimes your kids wild stories have some truth to them.  But that does not mean I have to believe the story of a big gorilla in his closet!! He told me one night exact words with his arms up "Mom, SERIOUSLY  I can't sleep in my own room, I mean think about it mom I'm laying there trying to get my sleep on  and then BAM a gorilla jumps out of my closet, i mean what am i supposed to do then?" I swear what a character!!LOL
