The dinosaurs were very busy the other afternoon. Once again they requested muffins and they pitched in to make them.

Though there was some conflict over who got to stir.

Rumors of muffins attracted other dinosaurs

And there was some more conflict over control of the bowl

The winners circle the bowl in a victory dance

But they shouldn't celebrate too soon, because over on the kitchen table trouble is brewing.

I'm told they are just getting ready to cut the muffins into equal parts so everyone has a share.

but I'm dubious.

    I enjoy them as much as I did as a child, but I would look a little silly making these up on my own. At least you have an excuse...

    Cute - my boys have dinos like those, and I almost didn't buy them. I thought "how dumb, they're just plastic pieces of crap". But WOW - they get played with here ALL THE TIME! I'm happy to spend $.88/ea on them!

    Cute pics!

I thought I was too late to sign up for it because I was a couple days behind on reading Mel’s blog, but then she contacted me and asked if I could do a post about punctuation. Punctuation? Yes. Punctuation. or perhaps I mean: Yes…punctuation. The first response is clear cut. Yes. It is about punctuation. The second is slightly less certain.  Yeeessss. I suppose it is about punctuation, of all things. It’s kinda rambly & disjointed but still, you must admit punctuation is the focus.

A month or so ago I cleaned out my freezer . Yesterday I cleaned my refrigerator. This is a different thing than just cleaning it out. Cleaning it out mostly involves taking most of the food off of the shelves, sorting it and putting the good stuff back. Maybe wiping up some visible spills. But not getting behind or under things or dealing with the bottles on the door.

Plus the heavy tempered glass shelves are too big to fit in the kitchen sink and have to be washed in the bathtub. Which means I then I have to wash the bathtub. And mop. I never manage to clean the fridge without getting dirty wate
