When we were in Texas, we went to visit a friend and they had tons of toy dinosaurs. Tucker was in heaven!

dino1.JPGI really never thought to look for or get him dinosaurs before. Well, hubby found some for us and we went to get them yesterday. Tucker picked out one of EACH of the dinosaurs since they were such a good price. Ready? 88 cents each from Wal-Mart! WOOHOO! We have something other than cars to play with now! We stocked up on them!

We already had this amazingly FUN rug at IKEA for only $9.00! And yes, that is Diego on the 4 wheeler chasing after the dinosaurs. What a hero Diego is. LOL!
