Tadpoles











I must be totally insane but we are now raising tadpoles!! I was cleaning our the kids pool and found A LOT of little tadpoles swimming around. So instead of just tossing them out I decided to do a good deed and let them finish growing!! Aunt Becky so kind to supply us with a fish bowl for Abby's birthday. which I never bought a fish for, so that is their new home. Well I have to be honest we did not save ALL of them, the girls don't know that though ☻ So I rushed in the house and of course googled how to raise tadpoles and it looks very "easy" but only time will tell. It did mention that tadpoles love lettuve, which I think is very odd but I threw some in the bowl and they are all huddled around it ☻ Learn something new everyday. So we are going to take care of our Poles, as Emma calls them, and see if we can get a frog or two out of about 50 tadpoles..... This should be very interesting

  1. Good thing you didn't buy the fish! We bought two last night and they are already DEAD!!! YES DEAD!!! I think a refund is called for!
    I hope you have better luck with the poles!

  2. Some mothers are just good sports. . .that's a really sweet thing you're doing for the kids. A science project to help them discover God's great creative ability to design.
