The weather the last few days has been dreadful. It rained, then it froze and turned the roads into an ice rink. Today is a downpour of snow. Inside, imaginations in full swing, it's back to the dinosaurs, our tried and true preschool pastime.

This is our T-Rex family. From Luke: "T-Rex's are meat eaters. It hunts other dinosaurs. It eats carrion. A T-Rex has two fingers and three-toe feet."
