Returning to the swing of things

Lately, I feel like I have been trying to get out of the super-busy-and-not-enough-hours-in-the-day-routine... School for Little Man started up again this week, so things seem to be getting a little more on track. We had a great Winter break from school which consisted of multiple days art the Zoo, Wild Animal Park visits, a snowy getaway, parties of all sorts, family time, and lots and lots of board games. To put the icing on the cake,   I was even able to take a few days off of work!
With the return of school this week, we had to return a pair of little buddies  that Little Man grew to love at home. I signed Little Man up to take care of the class frogs, Hip and Hop, during the break, and it actually was a really fun experience. I think Little Man felt like he went deep into the jungles of the Amazon and caught the frogs to keep as his pets, knowing his dream would be to be Go Diego Go's right hand man.
I learned more about frogs during these past two weeks, than I have in my whole life. I would literally find myself watching the frogs for minutes upon end. My favorite was to watch them hunt down the crickets, they should really be called the Masters of Patience.

Here are a few photos of Hip and Hop...

                                                 

I think he has it backwards, isn't the princess supposed to kiss the frog?

I would encourage all who have the opportunity to bring the class pet home, to experience it... you get to enjoy them for a little, then return them!
