Coming soon!

Maybe the dinosaurs felt bad about making a mess in the kitchen, because it looks like last night they wanted to help us out. The clock still doesn't work today, but at least they tried!

Well, they have made themselves comfortable, that's for sure! Last night we must have forgotten to leave the dinosaurs a treat, and they took it upon themselves to find something. We're so glad to see them exploring that we can't even be mad about the mess.

We've been giving our new guests their space, but continuing to leave some treats out just in case. It looks like our efforts were appreciated! We did have to move the nests this morning for the safety of the the eggs, but we made sure to leave the dinosaurs a note to explain. Hopefully they won't mind and they'll be more careful about leaving things in the open. We can't wait to see what is coming next!

Well. The dinosaurs have stayed out of sight during the days, and it looks like they were quiet last night, but today we found these pictures on our camera. We have no idea what they were up to, but we're glad one of them thought to take some snapshots for us! Too bad none of them cleaned up after their little escapade. Hopefully we'll know what was going on soon!

We set up a camera to keep an eye on our mysterious delivery last night, and came in today to find these pictures on it. Looks like we've got an invasion on our hands! They seem to have set things up nicely after their breakout, which implies that they intend to stay. So we made sure they and their box home (how do they even all fit in there?!), are in a safe space, and I guess welcome to the Galesburg Charleston Memorial District library little dinosaurs! We set out some water and a few extra snacks for them to see what happens, and we'll keep checking in with them. We'll post anything interesting we learn on our social media pages, so stay tuned for more!

Hmm. We got to work to find this INSIDE our back door. That's not how deliveries normally work. It doesn't take a close inspection to wonder if those are airholes, but do we also see claw marks? And what's with the signs? That can't be a real shipping label, right? We decided to tuck the box away for safe keeping for now while we figure out what to do with it, and we swear while we were moving it something growled. Or cheered. It was hard to tell. Anyway, this all seems very mysterious. We'll try to keep posting updates, so make sure you check regularly for more information!

Thanks to an anonymous and generous donor, our carpets were cleaned today. The team from Hadaway Cleaning & Restoration did an amazing job on the original, 35-year-old carpet. Many of the stains are practically invisible, the carpet is brighter, and it smells much better!
