Another Installment of Random Findings, for your viewing pleasure.

I'm impressed with me! I really thought that my inaugural Random Findings post would be the only one, but I guess I was wrong. How silly of me to try to predict the things that happen around here! Don't worry, I've learned my lesson. Won't ever happen again.

On my porch, I have a rectangular planter. It usually holds my annuals that I plant, well, annually. I have since dug up the old stuff, and left the pot feeling quite empty and void and haven't gotten around to planting the new flowers yet because, well, I haven't gotten around to planting the new flowers. So, the barren soil is screaming out to my kids every time they pass by to play with it, dig in it, bury things in it, take handfuls of it and transplant it somewhere else, like in the mailbox.

But now, I think I may have another solution for my planter than to use it for its intended purpose. I mean, who the heck plants PLANTS in a planter? I am presenting a much better solution to your planter needs...


Dinosaurs. Planting dinosaurs is like re-generating the Earth. Bringing the Earth back to its original roots. Going "green," if you will.


I'll have my own Jurassic Park in no time. I can sell tickets and make a fortune. And if I'm unlucky, I'll get eaten by a velociraptor.

Soooooo can relate.

Mommy24cs said...

haha I find funny stuff like that all the time too. In fact just this morning Spongebob attempted to trip me down the stairs. He's a sneaky one, that Spongebob!

Jen said...

That is too funny. Oh the stories I could tell of all the random things that I find. Maybe I should tell them too.

Aubrey said...

Do I see a Mr. Linky in the future???

Nicole said...

I havent found anything out of place lately, just my sons behavior! If he eats you can you send him my way. It's me or the kid. We had ANOTHER incident!

Sara said...

Every time the kids are playing with those stupid dart guns I think of you and when you shot them all on the window up high. Now I have another reason, cause my planters look like this too.

Cheryl Lage said...

That is the BEST! But I fear if I participate, all our pics will be in the bathroom....

Cecily R said...

I love LOVE the idea...and the whole regenerating the earth thing is a pretty decent one too. :)

So, if you add water does it balloon up to lifesize like those spongy capsules? Or, is it just hanging there handy in case brother A needs it to whack brother B for some reason?
love,
mom

Grand Pooba said...

LOL! Oh I love kids! See what great ideas they have?

When you get a full garden of dinos let me know cuz i'd def buy tickets!
