11/30 - Beaker and the vicious umbrella

Poor Beaker!  He somehow got caught up in the umbrella when it closed up, like Snoopy and the attack lawn chairs at Thanksgiving.   (I rescued him, don’t worry.)

Then, at home, he was sequestered by sinister elves.  Not sure what they were up to, but Beaker said, "Meep!"

6/19 - Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there!  At our house, we celebrate today as Mommy's Day. (Mama gets Mother's Day.)  It was a great weekend.

Yesterday, David and I had a blast at the NorCal Pirate Festival with the kids.

Then, we jettisoned the small fry and went back to pARRRRty with the grown-up pirates.  Much fun.

 

(This is not David, but a fellow pirate who also had a shoulder bird.)

Today, I got to sleep in, and woke up to flowers, homemade cards, and a latte.  After I pulled myself together, we went to a local diner for a nice brunch.  And then I did not fall down (!) at roller derby practice.

I really wish Lil' Guy would stop putting toys in the potty.  Poor Beaker!

4/08 - Warthog/Dartdog's lunch adventure

Not only did we see contruction stuff, we also got to have lunch with Linda and Katelyn!  Yay!!

Later, we met up with Mama and Beaker to celebrate Vanessa's birthday.

Happy birthday, V!

3/26 - Beaker's night out

We scored tickets to the SF LGBT Center's Soiree 9 "La Dolce Vita."  Lil' Guy saw Mama's outfit and exclaimed, "I know who you look like!" and ran off to get Beaker.  He begged us to take Beaker to the grown-up party, so we did.

Here's Beaker with Raja from RuPaul's Drag Race, season 3.

Here are Mama and Mommy with a giant sparkly bunny, who rested his drink on Mama's head.

And here is Beaker, worn out from all the excitement, swooning in a pile of flower petals.

9/03 - Beaker is on fire!

When I put Beaker in my jacket pocket this morning, he started squeaking.  "Meep!  Meep!  Meep!"  Pooh Bear was still in my pocket from the other day!  Poor Pooh!  Now they are both with me at work, enjoying non-stop meetings.  Bother.

Here's a fun poster we saw on the way into work.  I'm calling it "BART ART."

Later, Beaker was on fire.  No, actually it was my mouth that was on fire...  I thought I was lucky when a meeting got cancelled so I could get lunch before 2:30pm today, but then they made my noodles spicy. I did not ask for spicy!  Youch!

2/04 - Beaker in a beaker

Poor Beaker!  First, I put him in a beaker full of spiders!
(Yes, I have one at my desk.  Don't you?)

Then, a light fixture wanted to beam him up!

Then, since I was afraid the kids wouldn't lend me any toys if Beaker kept having a rotten time, I took him to the farmers' market.  See?  Mommy is nice.

Today was brought to you by the letter B.
