It is Connor's 1/2 birthday today! He wanted to use some money in his piggy bank for some new prehistoric creatures...a tylosaurus and dunkleostues...and a yummy Cookie Corner cookie too!

We asked Connor if he wanted to go out for a special 1/2 birthday dinner...he said no.  How about going out for ice cream or dessert?  No.  How about a special dinner at home?  No input...food is just not his thing.  He is not motivated by food in any way.  He will even say no to birthday cake at parties.   All he wanted to do was to go to the this pet store that sells all sorts of little plastic animals...all the way at the Windward Mall!  This mall is the farthest mall from our house...closer to the Marine Corps Base.  Since we do live on an island, far is a relative term.  But after living here for a few years, I now complain about going all the way over there just like the locals...when really, it's only about a 35 minute drive without traffic. 
So he bought his dino's...sorry, prehistoric creatures.  Since it was his money that he was spending (minus the $10 reward/bonus we gave him for finding and returning $50 that he found inside our house!)...the least I could do was to transport our little guy to the store to do a little prehistoric shopping!
 I talked him into the cookie because I really wanted one!
