Going to sound pedantic, but on the ladder board (http://www.cachinggames.com/leapfrog/ladder.php), my name shows up as bubbles_baby123.

that's going to confuse me :(


Also, i made a logsheet (shamelessly stolen off allrounder's one last year, shh), designed for the frogs. if i can figure out how to upload it on here, i'll share it with you all!

Hopefully this works: sample log sheet for Leap Frog

I've got a frog, done a page, got a log sheet, just have to figure out the logsheet container bit.

I need to find something to hold the log, kind of long and tubular. Not so easy, cause I never put out any micros. So never pay much attention to this size of container. :-k 8-[

Pipe from Bunnings? They have loads of different diameters. Take your frog so you know the size to show up its clack. A cork in the end (or a friction cap) to stop the log falling out.

Nice idea thanks but not sure I can take the frog cause that's where I bought it, they may think I'm stealing it. What is a friction cap?

A push on end cap. They hold in place by friction rather than having to use a glue. Looks kind of like a dome.

Bronnie, I have some simple test tubes that might do the trick if you need.

Also - Reject shop at Gungahlin G (nearest to Coles) has over a dozen frogs. (After I bought some!)

Only 101 frogs in the race :-(
http://www.cachinggames.com/leapfrog/ladder.php

We had 235 Gnomes last year and I think this year we can do much better than that.

There's only two weeks to go. The race will start on a Thursday, so you only have two weekends to get your frogs up and hopping.
