Ellasaurus


Ella: Mom, I have a very good Idea.
Me: What is it?
Ella: How about if we get rid of everything in our house that isn't Dinosaur?
Me: Even our couches?
Ella: Yep, we could get new dinosaur couches.
Me: But it might be really hard to find dinosaur couches, I've never seen one before.
Ella: We will have to look very hard, and for a very long time to find one.
Me: What about all your toys that are not dinosaurs? Should we get rid of those too?
Ella: Yes, we should get rid of them all! And if Santa brings me toys that aren't dinosaurs, we'll have to get rid of those too.

Wow, she's really serious about this idea. She has been talking about it all day. We are getting rid of extra things since we are getting ready to move, but I don't think we can survive on just our dinosaur things alone.

Later today Ella told me it was my turn to make up a dinosaur game.
In my game, I issued a challenge. The object of the game was go 15 minutes without saying the word, dinosaur, T-rex, Tyranosaurus, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, etc. She actually lasted longer than I thought she would. A whole 3 minutes.

When I pictured my life with children, I imagined girls. However I did not imagine them playing with cars and dinosaurs all day. Lily is almost as silly about it as Ella. I try to give her dolls, but she just wants Ella's cars and dinosaurs.
What happened to cute little pink fairy princess girls? Like the ones in my header? I guess I had better design a new (more accurate) header for my blog.

Xander (kiri's good friend) loves dinosaurs too.

If he grows up to be rich and normal, I'll hook you up!

Can you imagine a dinosaur-themed wedding? That would own.
