Dinovember Day 30: 11 months to digest! See you next November!

Poor Dinos!

Only after gorging themselves on oranges and grapefruit 

did they remember that they evolved in a time with few fruits or flowers.

It looks like it will take them a full 11 months to digest. . .

until next November!!!

They'll be back next year!!!

Dinovember Day 29

When the dinos tried to create their own "Face"-book, 

they discovered that tape really was designed for those with opposable thumbs!

Dinovember Day 28: Llama cake!

When trying to create his own "llama cake," 

Dinny realized that some dinos are more help than others.

Dinovember Day 27: Toothfairy

Greeny was particularly excited to get to cover for the tooth fairy!

Dinovember Day 26: Nutcracker rehearsal

During rehearsal for Waltz of the Flowers, Dinny and Greeny broke out into an argument as to whether or not the ducks were qualified to dance the part of the mouse army. 

Diniovember Day 25: Eye-ing Around

The swans weren't quite sure how to react when the Dinos answered their question with 

"the better to see you with, my dear!"

Dinovember Day 24: Sewing Day!

Greeny got himself into a pickle. . .

Dinovember Day 23: Happy Thanksgiving!

After hunting down and capturing all the other thanksgiving feast ingredients, 

the dinos tried to sneak up on the turkeys.

Pretty nice turkey by Madeline with her new 3D printing pen--her 3rd creation!

Dinovember Day 22: Better Mud Pits

All were in agreement: 

chocolate ganache pits are way better than mud pits!

Dinovember Day 21: Roasting Marshmallows!

When the dinos couldn't find a regular candle, they opted for the pear-scented one for their campfire. Turns out that pear-infused toasted marshmallows aren't that bad!

Dinovember Day 20: Trapped!

The Dinos' spirits lifted when they realized Dinny hadn't been trapped by the laundry basket too.  However, their relief may have been premature: T-rex biceps. . .

Dinovember Day 19: Llama distraction

The dinos convinced Tina to act as a distraction while they hauled off loot from the dragon's lair. . .lucky for her, Toothless preferred chocolate over llama.  

(I'm not sure theses dinos are really Tina's friends!)

Hope the dinos leave some chocolate coins for Tina's sake!

Dinovember Day 18: Llama infiltration?

As the dinos gorged themselves on Chex mix (turns out even dinos don't like wheat Chex!), the little llama pondered how he could convince the dinos to accept him as one of their own. . .

Dinovember Day 17: The Bagel King shall be de-throwned!

For once in his life, Greeny had good luck and was dubbed "The Bagel God," 

. . .but, 

whenever there is a monarchy, there is a rebellion.  

Dinny's sister was leading the charge!

Dinovember Day 16: Hide-and-Seek!

". . .18. . .19. . .20!"  The blindfold had seemed like such a great idea for dealing with the T-rex issue with "covering your eyes," however, now Dinny was unsure how to proceed with the "seeking."

Dinovember Day 15: Grocery List Additions

The carnivores were a bit miffed the humans threw out their turkey after the 22 hour power outage (as reptiles, salmonella just isn't a problem). . .so while the herbivores were feasting on a discarded bag of carrots, the carnivores took it upon themselves to add to the human's shopping list.  Greeny insisted that 5 turkeys just wasn't enough! 

Dinovember Day 14: Power Outage!

Telling ghost stories during the extended power outage seemed like a good idea. . .until the brontosaurus sisters decided to grab a kitchen towel and capitalize on the opportunity!

It looks like it is going to be 22+ hours before power is restored. . .

looks like the Thanksgiving turkey in the fridge is a loss L.
(but we did make sure the ice cream wasn't--yum for breakfast!)

Dinovember Day 13: Good winds for flying?

With all the talk about "wind storm advisories" and "potentially damaging squalls" going around, 

the Dinos decided it was the perfect time to get out their paper planes and balloons: 

perhaps this time the wind will be strong enough to hold them up!

Greeny got a little adventurous on his balloon!

Dinovember Day 12: Bedtime Stories

As the brontosaurus sisters read the dinos a bedtime story, 

Dinny tried to keep it cool and not give away how much he could relate to Greg--

curse his wimpy t-rex arms!

Dinovember Day 11: Dino Raffle

Greeny roared in excitement when Dinny called out his number for the raffle grand prize: 

BACON!!!

Dinovember Day 10: Oh Great Lemon!!

ALL HAIL THE LEMON GOD!!!
When the gobstoppers in their garden failed to sprout
the dinos decided to try supplicating the round produce.

Turns out Dinny wasn't into the fruit-worship-mumbo-jumbo;

he found a better use for the lemon. . .

Dinovember Day 9: Seeds?!

When the dinos were putting seeds (Gobstoppers!?) into the pit, 

Greeny thought he'd try one pre-grown--Dinny tried to steal it off his spoon.

Checkmarks prove the dinos are making progress!!!

Dinovember Day 8: Dino Gardening Begins

When Dinny was helping his little sister dig a pit to begin their garden, 

Greeny gasped as Blacky-Raptor jumped in the dirt.  

Dinovember Day 7: Gardening Mischief Plans!

Dinny wanted to add a little bit of greenery to the house,

so he detailed his gardening mischief plans to the other dinos.

Greeny was definitely enthusiastic!

Dinovember Day 6: No Tea Today!

The dinos were disappointed to discover that Lego-made faucets 

aren't hooked up to the waterline.  Unfortunately, they tried the Lego toilet next. . .

Dinvember Day 5: Dino-BattleBots!

Greeny panicked when Dinny realized he forgot 

a semi-colon in the code for their robot's "attack" program. . .

right as the the first round in the Dino-BattleBots tournament began!

Dinovember Day 4: "What you currently have IN YOUR MOUTH.... IS ART!!!"

As they were installing the visiting Candy Sculpture exhibit, 

the Dinos all gasped in horror when Greeny opened his mouth 

to take a bite.  

Dinovember Day 3: Construction Catastrophe!

Everything was going fine at the construction site for the new Candy Museum until 

Blacky thought he could carry a large beam by himself:  

Greeny's tail will never be the same!

Dinovember 2017 Day 2: Caught in Candy!

The dinos got caught in Sophia's candy!

She dumped candy all over them.

Greeny gasped in horror

as he saw that Dinny had the 100 Grand in his jaws!

(Thanks Sophia!)

Blacky took advantage of the hubbub and snuck a few treats for himself. . .

Dinovember 2017, Day 1!

While pilfering the kids' Halloween loot, 

Greeny was ecstatic to find a 100 Grand--

now if only he can keep it away from Dinny!
