There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place. ~Washington Irving

Good Golly Miss Molly

Today the boys made a new friend. We found her (it could be a he, but don't tell Maddox that) hiding in a hole beneath an extra piece of cement edging. She was the biggest frog I've ever seen. And her name? Maddox first suggested "Frog," but after a few seconds of pondering, he decided on "Good Golly Miss Molly." It's a perfect fit. Tomorrow we will have to check on her (I can sense this will be the new outside morning ritual) and I'll try (again) to keep Jude from smooshing her.

Jude and Maddox have this system going... When Maddox spots a bug (fly, ant, unidentified creepy crawly) he alerts Jude, who immediately attempts to kill it. That's why I have to look out for Good Golly Miss Molly.

  1. I love the name Maddox picked out for "HER" I loved seeing him sing that song. Then he'd do his head & say I sure like your bones! Such precious little children!!! I Love them so MUCH!
