365:Day 286 ~ minus one.

You might remember that Santa brought the girls two frogs for Christmas last year.  We named them Nick and Hollie...to remind us of when we got them.  Well, for a frog, Nick is a bit of a hog.  He's been snatching all the food, and Hollie just got thinner and thinner and tinier and tinier for the last several months.  On Saturday, I noticed that Hollie wasn't looking so hot.  And today after lunch, Bill discovered that she had died sometime last night or this morning.  Carly and Macy are both bummed, but took it pretty well.  Death is just not the funnest thing to talk about with kids.  So the Leonard fam is minus one today.  I sure hope that Hollie was happy for the 10 months she was with us.  Looks like Nick is going to be lonely now...doesn't he seem a little sad in this pic?

RIP Hollie.

Did you get yours at Learning Express? I mean...did Santa? We have 2 (light Froggy and dark Froggy) they full on FIGHT, roll, bite at each other, it's awful. The dark one is so mean & takes all the food too. My sister's frogs did the same yours did. Poor dudes. I see a funeral in our future... :(
