did i mention we have a toad? it eats bugs. tonight, after the kids went to bed, i put on my jacket (it's chilly today), and headed for the door.

peter: where are you going?

erin: i have to catch some ants for the toad

peter: you have to catch ants?

erin: well, it has to eat, right?

peter: does it eat them?

erin: i think so. they are not there in the morning, and the toad is still alive...either that or they are escaping.

off i went, got the ants, fed and watered the toad, and put him back in their room.

peter (shaking his head): you are an incredible mother.

smile.
