5/24 - Nurse Uniqua and Silly Dogs for dinner

Lil' Guy gave me Uniqua to keep me company when they went off to pre-school today.  She pretended she was Nurse Uniqua, and gave me all the tissues I needed.  I told Lil' Guy she sang me a lullaby for my nap.  He looked at me sternly, "Did you sing for her?  Are you telling me the truth?"  (sigh)  I told him he was right.  She only sang in my imagination.  But, oh, what a song it was.

During the day, I saw a link from @FeedOurFamiles to a recipe for Silly Dogs.  It was stunning and super simple.  The kids were intrigued, and Mama surprised us all by making them.  Lil' Gal refused to try them, but Lil' Guy loved them.  And since he's such a skinny lil' guy, we're always happy to find something that he'll gobble up.

Before:

After:*

NOM!

*  Yes, 2 kinds of pasta.  But Lil' Gal was having the bow ties and therefore, Lil' Guy had to have them too.  It's a twin thing.

5/20 - The Backyardigans' hat trick

Lil' Gal must really be sick -- she took a nap today for the first time in years.  (And she's got some funky rash that the doctor says is related to her cold.  Ick.)

While she slept, Lil' Guy staged this photo of his Backyardigans friends (and Widget!) in a sun hat, featuring current favorite Tasha (the yellow hippo).

Then, somehow, they got all "stacked up."  Whoopsie.  I hate it when that happens.

3/15 - Uniqua dines al pesto

She's also dining in the nude...  Apologies!

Here's "Trunk" the elephant (formerly Elephant II), snuffling my phone cam.  (Yes, he's missing tusks.  See: graveyard of broken toys.)

10/14 - Uniqua says, "Halloooooo down there!"

We saw some interesting construction vehicles on the way into work. It looked like the one was cutting up the road and pouring the road bits into a dump truck.

 When we got to my desk, Uniqua jumped onto Bob the Builder's head!  He was very surprised.

Fun with steamrollers...

Here we are, still eating lunch at 3:30pm (started at 1:45).  We did get a free cookie!

Here we are coming home on BART.  What a day.
