Magic Marker Monday: Spike-a-saurus

Bearhug and Cuddlebug were invited to a birthday party on Saturday for a friend from school (whose mom also happens to be one of Bitty's former therapists - small world!). It was an art party where everyone got to paint their own dinosaur. I loved how the instructor asked everyone what colors dinosaurs are, and of course the kids (being much smarter than I am) answered correctly - we don't know! Makes sense, of course we don't know since all we have are bones, no actual pictures of what they looked like, I just never really thought about it before. Anyway, so then she turned the kids loose to use whatever colors their imaginations desired for their dinosaurs :).

I enjoyed watching as Cuddlebug and Bearhug worked on their paintings:




They worked independently, but also seemed to seamlessly pull ideas from what the other was working on and they ended up with coordinating dinosaurs.

Let me introduce you to the two forms of Spike-a-saurus (so named for its many spikes):

Original form
height: 400 ft, 3 inches
weight: 5200 pounds
description: it traps its prey with its wings then it pulls in the spikes which contain poison

Nightmare form
Facts
wt: 5001
ht: 984
how many: 100
I'm told it can give you nightmares for 100 years (so let's hope we never encounter one in real life)

You might wonder how to defeat such powerful-looking dinosaurs covered in spikes. As both of the boys noted, both forms of Spike-a-saurus have one weakness - their tails, which have spikes at the end but are otherwise unprotected by spikes. Good to know...
