7/30 - Army Guy 2 is in the moment

Or, I should say, he is pointing to the moment.  How can you be in the moment if it drives away before you can board?

Or, as David noted:  "I guess the moment passed him by…"  I hate it when that happens.

3/08 - Stormtrooper Piggie tries on some dinosaur legs

They were even faster than he thought they'd be, as they were on the side of a moving bus!  Go, go baggy legs!

This guy is clearly on the angry birds' side...  Watch out, Stormtrooper!  (He's OK.)

3/06 - Alienist gets into a staring contest with a girl on the bus

It wasn’t really a fair contest.  I don’t think he has eyelids!

Alienist thinks this plant is his mom.  I can see a family resemblance…  can you?

12/17 - Red Angry Bird finds a matching nest

Jeanine’s boyfriend is a MUNI bus driver.  Today, Josh's bus broke down, so we went to say hi (he has to stay with the bus).  Caiman was so excited to meet a real bus driver!  Look at that grin.

Um, Red Angry Bird?  That is not a nest.  That is Santa’s cuff!

8/10 - Dalmatian Dog and things with wheels

Dalmatian Dog saw a double decker bus and a green trolley car at lunch, in front of the famous Flatiron Building.

Then he saw a big spool of wire.  Curiously, it had a sign on it that said, “Please recycle this.”  It’s huge!  How do you fit it in the blue bin??

7/31 - Headless Mario is a star!

He loved being in the spotlight and started to do a little dance.  The BART commuters in the station thought he was a little strange.  (It could be the missing head thing….)

Mario -- look out!  You’re about to be hit by a VW bus!  Get out of the road!  Someone get him a seeing eye dog right away...

Speaking of dogs, Rosemary and I saw a big, fluffy, interesting dog at the restaurant.

Then we ate way too much macaroni and cheese... Nom.

7/11 - Funbo finds a sign of the times

This is usually a “Next Bus” computer sign that tells people when the next bus will arrive. I guess it is broken...

At lunch, Funbo went motorcycle counting. How many do you see? Which one is your favorite? Do you recognize any of the parking space numbers on the ground?

I had to sit out today's derby practice (and last night's scrimmage) due to an injury from Monday's practice. Still, I felt bad for the grrrls that had to skate in the 103-degree heat, so I brought orange slices. Here's Mandaryn Crush enjoying her mandarin.

6/28 - How not to throw Luigi under the bus

Luigi was excited to see the same Magic Bus his brother Mario saw when he came to work with Mommy! Now. What to do with a bus full of magic…?

Luigi says, "Itsa pizza!" Here he is, hunkered down with Suzanne, over a delicious pizza. “Molto bene!” he said.

6/14 - BART has a meltdown and Sneep tries to catch the bus

Between my safety alert lists and my wonderful friends, I became aware this morning that BART was not running.  It was the twins' last day of school and our morning routine does not have minutes to spare, so we kept calm and carried on and got them out the door.  I'd just missed the last morning bus into the city, but there was a chance I could overrun it...  Mama and I hopped in the van and gave it our best, but we did not succeed.

Silver lining?  I got to go to the twins' kindergarten graduation.  Thank you, universe!

6/07 - Mario and the super skinny building

This is the famous Flatiron Building.  Isn’t it cute?

We saw a really groovy bus on the way to lunch.  The driver said it was a Magic Bus.  Dude.

3/29 - Littlest Rabbit and the field of greens

Littlest Rabbit wanted a nice bowl of salad for lunch.

And then she wanted to eat it in the countryside.  So we pretended we were going on a field trip – literally!

2/06 - Simon's city adventures: from sweet to snarly

Simon saw a bowl of sugar as big as a lake (to him) and wanted to dive in.

We had an after work meeting.  Simon found a "new wave" bus stop, which meant something else entirely to me.  (Ahem. #old)

Here, Simon left his heart in San Francisco -- at City Hall.

He was too polite to howl at then (almost) full moon, but I thought "Someone needs to keep the city crazy."

I was about to howl, but then we saw a big dragon, and we crept quietly to the BART station.

1/12 - Waiter! There's a pink penguin in my soup!

We saw Toy Story characters on the bus and Pinkie Penguin wanted to go for a ride with them.  But we went to work instead.  Sorry, Pinkie!

Pinkie and I went to a team lunch today, and she hopped onto the waiter’s tray for a ride.  Penguins are silly!

11/25 - Baby Giraffe thinks the parking lot is a savannah

The BART parking lot was empty enough today for at least 4 roller derby teams to practice. Wouldn’t that be much more fun than proof-reading a 144-page document?

We like this building.  It reminds us of the one in the Monty Python insurance pirates short film.

Baby Giraffe found some colorful friends.  Aren’t they cute?  They were taking the bus somewhere.

8/24 - Tigger/Stickie bears witness to the Great Greek Salad

Stickie (today also called Tigger) spied a cable car.  He really liked seeing it and the electric poles on the bus (moving too fast for me to take a picture of it).  Good luck at the doctor today!!

I do love me a big salad… How did it go at the doctor’s?

2/07 - Gleep is gleeful

Gleep and I saw some interesting things on the way in to work:  A bus with Mickey Mouse and the Toy Story guys!

And a worker fixing a street light.

Who knew there were so many kinds of mushrooms?  Gleep glorp beep!

12/04 - Piggy's big adventure

Today, I picked out my own toy, as everyone was sleeping when I left for an early meeting.  :(   I picked the pig that I always like to play with and the twins rarely do.

OINK! OINK!! 
It's cold outside today!













At lunch, I had to drop off my camera for repair.  Piggy and I took a bus and saw skyscrapers and a historical fountain whose significance escapes me at this time.

At the end of our crazy work day, Piggy and I went back to pick up the camera (it only needed a cleaning! yay!), and headed out for Mommy's haircut. 

Mommy's "beauty operator" Ally is silly and likes to play.  (Hi, Ally!)

Well, that was quite a day.  Don't you think?
