5/30 - Blue Yoshi meets lots of new friends

Unfortunately, my phone is still refusing to send or receive information today, so I’ll have to show you the pictures at home again.  Grrr.  Blue Yoshi met these new friends today:

Suzanne F and her two little doggies, Yogi and the other one whose name I can't remember.

My friend Meredith from college, who looks exactly the same as she did then.  (How does she do it?!)

Some kind of Curious George guy.

Meanwhile, at home, Lil' Gal lost tooth #6.  She is now ahead of Lil' Guy!  Woooo!

 Popsicle break!

5/28 - Weekend fun - Wheels edition

Lil' Gal decorated the nectarine tree for Memorial Day.

We made a Tinkertoy robot bird and found Goomba in the Tinkertoy bin.

We made grilled cheese sandwiches.

We learned to ride our bikes without training wheels!  And I got to chase the kids on my new skate wheels.

Also, we had an impromptu barbecue and Lil' Gal has more "wobbly teeth."  Hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend, too!

5/06 - Weekend fun: loose tooth edition

This weekend, we went to the Clayton Art & Wine Festival to see our friend's band play.  I consumed no art or wine, but the twins enjoyed the bouncy house options and festival food.  Here they are with Erika, as we watched Eric and the Relyks play.

Lil' Gal's wiggly tooth was getting looser and looser, and she promised it would come out that night...  and it did!  We are up to 5 teeth out per twin!

Here is Hippo Grabber's friend Flamingo with a new addition to the garden.

And here is the Angry Birds drawing Lil' Gal did on the back of her homework.  Not bad, eh?

4/25 - Field Trip!

I am sorry to say that today's post does not include any toys in quasi-adult situations.  What we have here is one adult (me) in a child situation -- with animals!  They count, right?  I volunteered to be a chaperone for the kindergarten field trip to the local nature center.  Here are Lil' Gal and Lil' Guy and their posse.

Here is Ashley, the blind possum.  (Did you know that a possum's "pocket" is vertical, not horizontal?)

We got to pet a nice gopher snake.

And meet the tiniest grown-up screech owl.

And then Lil' Guy lost a tooth to a taffy lollipop.  (Lil' Gal's wiggly tooth is still attached -- she is NOT happy.)

1/13 - Eddie and Freddie are on the go

We moved desks at work again this morning.  Freddie offered to hop my pens from one desk to the other, but I was worried he’d get stepped on.

On our way to lunch with Ashley, we saw a cute red car.

Here is Ashley, in front of some crazy statue.

The twins were playing with Play Doh when I got home.  They made me a cake to cheer me up.  How sweet is that?!

Tooth Update:  Last night, Lil' Gal lost her other top front tooth!!  She wanted Mama to see it today, so we hid it from the Tooth Fairy.   Lil' Gal named the tooth "Sam."  Tonight, we're all systems go for the Tooth Fairy!

2/15 - Waiting for the Tooth Fairy

We've hit a milestone, folks!  A few weeks ago, we noticed that Lil' Gal's bottom front grown-up teeth had come in -- behind the baby teeth!  The internet told us they were called "shark teeth" and the dentist told us there was nothing to worry about.  The teeth got wigglier and wigglier and then, this morning, one came out!  (Lil' Guy is so jealous!)
