In answer to my unasked question, that I'm sure he could read on my face (you know the "Why aren't you in doing school?? Why are you out here playing? and WHAT is that in your shirt??!!)Jeffrey, in classic Jeffrey style, said "I'm sorry mom, but it's not everyday that you get to see and hold a 'horny toad'!" True. Gross. But true. This one had already dropped its tail twice trying to elude capture, according to Jonathan, but the boys still held on! Even while I was out trying to get some photos, it jumped out of the boys hands, and I jumped around really quickly!!, but they recovered it. And then after they were done looking at it, they set it free back where they found it. Some horned toad has a big story to tell to his cronies today!
The "reptile hunters"
Josiah was thrilled about catching Mr. HT after the 2nd get away attempt.

You were born to be a mother of boys!!! I can't believe you stood around long enough to take pictures. That's pretty cool to have science in action! Did Jeffrey get his school done anyway??
Seems to be HTs were on the endangered list for a time due to DDT. Glad to know they are still around. I can remember playing with them when I was little.
All I have to say is YUCK. Good thing I have girls...
WOW! That is amazing they cought Mr.HT. That would be crazy that Jeffrey would hide in his shirt.
Like my mom said did Jeffrey get his school work done?
Lots of fun, BUT:
I don't have any warts on my hands because when I was growing up I was told NOT to play with HTs.
If I were you guys, I would check your hands (all the way up to your elbows)in about a week to see if warts are growing. Beware!!
