Dino Eggs

One of my favorite things to do is to spend a Saturday afternoon with our friends Tami and Erick...Sometimes we'll go to lunch and then split off and the guys plus half of the kids go one way and me and Tami go shopping with the other half of the kids...{our kids now total 7} So a few weeks ago we did just that...Josh wanted a new LCD TV for the playroom so we drove out to Roseville and went to Claim Jumpers and then the guys went one way to Fry's and Tami and I went to Lakeshore {teacher store}...While we were there Dalen really really wanted to buy something so he was on a major mission to find something I would say yes to...He finally found this Dinosaur egg that you can dig away at to reveal a tiny dinosaur...It was $6.95, but I thought okay that sounds like fun so I said yes. Then I thought Lexi and Deveon would really enjoy that too so I bought them one as well.
The next day they opened them up and started digging...The quiet but messy project didn't last as long as I had anticipated but they really loved their little dinosaurs until...

...while playing, Dalen tosses Lexi's dino down the stairs for Lexi to catch but Lexi misses and it breaks on the floor. Lexi in tears, Dalen in trouble so we make him give his dino to her. Then...

...later on our way to the park Noah is holding Deveon's dino, drops it, and his little neck breaks off...Then...

...the next day, Dalen has Lexi's dino {Dalen's original dino} decides to slide it across the kitchen floor for fun? and it hits the under side of the cabinets and the legs break off.
So all in all,
All Dino's have been extinct.
They are now in my 'to be fixed' drawer waiting there turn to be put back together by mommy's glue gun ;)
