Old Things are New Again

So Monkey1 and Monkey2 are actually ages 4 and 3 (and actually Isabella and Eloisa). They have intense love affairs that burn bright and hot, then die out all to quickly.



A recent love of theirs, tossed to the side in favor of newer shinier things - was Dinosaurs.

Jumbled in the corner, collecting dust, I heard the Dino's cry of loneliness. Gathering all of my god given mommy abilities, I decided to try enticing the Monkeys into a renewed interest of the Jurassic. And the Triassic and Cretaceous.

Or in the very least - get them to play with the darn things!



So the other night, I stayed up gathering playthings from all over the house and put together a ...

uhm... a ... (**pulling name out my rear**) a Play-A-Rama !









The only thing 'new' in this picture was the Dino Eggs (which I got real cheap from here thanks to a heads-up from Jami) - everything else are things that the girls have just overlooked.
Well - It worked! I set this up Friday night, and they were still playing with it today.
So far a frog has gotton eaten by the orcas, Indiana Jones has been eaten by a baby T-rex, and a Stegosaurus partnered with a Triceratops to open a Crown store.

Which maybe the only store in our general area to specialize in Crowns and be owned by 2 extinct behemoths.
