Randa Rooskie Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Fellow Nerd Parents! When I saw this I immediately fell in love with the idea: DINOVEMBER! Ever day in the month of November you set up plastic dinosaurs in a scene of chaos as though they came to life in the middle of the night! This is just what I need to get some creative juices going and really enjoy something fun and silly with my kids! I'm getting my dinosaurs ready tonight! 1 Quote 1 Tim 4:7-8 "...train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."

Randa Rooskie Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 When my son saw the black belt dinos he immediately named them after his karate instructors and had them leading "class" right here at home. 2 Quote 1 Tim 4:7-8 "...train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."

Randa Rooskie Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I saw this before, and it's such an awesome idea! I hope that when my children grow up they'll be setting up Dinosaurs in ridiculous poses for their children. There is something extremely fun, creative, and joyful about the whole process. And I love seeing my boys laugh when they find what the Dinos have done today! 1 Quote 1 Tim 4:7-8 "...train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."

Randa Rooskie Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Oh my gosh. I don't have kids but seeing these photos is AMAZING!!! How fun and creative, please keep posting them!! Haha, thanks! I wasn't sure if I'd be annoying people with a new picture of dino toys every day... but I'll keep them coming! This is a much better idea than Elf on a Shelf, which I loathe. Agreed. There is something a little creepy about the whole elf thing... I hope my brother does this with his kid(s) (first child still in womb). I saw this on Facebook last year and think it's such a great idea. I'd worry that I'd run out of ideas before the month is up! Maybe you could get some dinosaurs for said-womb-bound child to spur the parents on to action when he/she gets older! I was worried about running out of ideas too... until I saw that the awesome people who did it first put a picture up for every day of the month of what they did. I'm shamelessly copying their ideas... with a few twists here and there... and without the photography skills they have!!

Randa Rooskie Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I did the circus in half an hour last night while listening to the "Unbroken" audio book. Hooray for multi-tasking! A lot of the others only took a few minutes... stick a dino into the gold fish and spill some on the floor - check. 1 Quote 1 Tim 4:7-8 "...train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."
