Our Own Wildlife Refuge

-
 It has been a fun spring for wildlife discoveries in our yard this year.  I thought it would be fun to share a few of the discoveries we have made around the house this month.  :)

 
Can you find our front yard turtle friend?  We think he came from the bayou.
Spot the Frog!  I'll give you a hint, he's green.
A pair of finches found an empty hanging basket in our garage and decided it was a cozy place to build a nest.  I have to agree and can't wait to watch these tiny little eggs hatch into tiny little hungry chicks.  

This little frog found refuge in our garage during a heavy downpour of rain.  We had fun talking to him for a few minutes and then releasing him back into the yard. 

We've also enjoyed watching the little green lizards watching us through our back windows as they sun on the rubber tree plant leaves, as well as catching plenty of love bugs whenever we play outside. 

Oh, what a fun time of year to meet a few of our animal neighbors.

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
