Octopi are good at camouflage

Can't even see Octopus in this one, can you? (Shhh. Don't tell her.)

3/28 - Jewel makes Patrick blush *and* the twins steal the show

Turns out Patrick is easily embarrassed by photos and flirty chicks.

We went to see the twins in their school musical and they rocked it.  We were so proud of them!!

3/27 - Rainbow Dash finds a rainbow field

She tiptoed through the tulips quite happily.

3/12 - Darth Maul is a social climber

He saw Sheldor climbing around the crabitat, and thought he'd say hello.  Sheldor thought Darth Maul's shell was the best decorated shell ever.

Then, Darth Maul was feeling pretty as he admired the fragrant blooms of the nectarine tree.  Spring will do that to you.

2/21 - Pivey the Baseball dreams of spring

He thought this quote was pretty far afield.

But then he's a fruity kinda guy.  Perhaps even a little bananas.

Orange you glad I'm stopping now?

11/22 - Dino finds some darling clementines

Who would think, after last night's windstorm, that we'd find a brand new rose in the backyard?

Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine.  And Clementine.  And Clementine...

7/19 - Happy Sack and Snowie in the round

We found a fancy ice cream truck.  Snowie (formerly known as Frosty) liked that it had cold treats.  Happy Sack liked that the treats were bright and round.

We also agreed that these flowers were super duper pretty.

7/11 - Mousie is feeling very sleepy...

Didn’t anyone tell Mousie that poppies can make you very sleepy?  (So can long meetings!)
WAKE UP, MOUSIE!!

6/17 - Super Samurai appreciates a nice bouquet

Super Samurai was tempted to use his sword to cut the big pom pom flowers down to size, but we decided to leaf them alone.

5/20 - Space Horse is tied up right now, would you like to leave a message?

Space Horse found some pretty purple flowers and a unicorn!  The unicorn told us he thought space horses only existed in stories.

Jeanine made a spider web out of rubber bands for Suren’s desk.  That’ll teach him to work from home…

5/02 - CowCow thinks life needs more cowbell

All we could find were these cowbell-shaped flowers.

4/22 - Bat Ring says, "Happy Earth Day!"

We took a minute to walk outside (and buy PowerBall tickets) and smell the flowers before heading back to work.

Look!  Crabbies miss you!

3/27 - Miss Kitty and the Very Long Meeting

Miss Kitty found a strange bubble-popping princess on the way to our all-day offsite big meeting thing.  I was hoping we'd find coffee, which we did.  This offsite had excellent food because Jeanine is a rock star.  #thankyou

No wonder I'm sneezing like one of the seven dwarves.  Spring has sprung, yo.

3/20 - Max and Ferdinand wish you a happy spring (and safe driving)

The nectarine tree is starting to bloom.  These blossoms don't smell as lovely as the plum tree's, but they sure are pretty!  If only the squirrels would leave us some nectarines...

Looks like Mr. Frumble is having trouble getting out of the BART parking lot again.  #ouch

3/11 - Army Guy pets a catfish

Or is it a cat with fish whiskers?  A walrus?  A tiger in a Halloween costume?

Here, Army Guy scanned the flower stand.  The way these daisies were arranged in color-coded order pleased him very much.  Army Guy likes it tidy.

And then, we had dinner with Dana!  We haven't seen her since high school!  Doesn't she look good?  She likes to take pictures with her friend Kermit, but forgot to bring him to the restaurant!  Argh!

2/14 - Army Guy wants to know who put flowers in the trenches

He says, “Every time I turn around, there’s another mess to clean up!  What is this, some kind of holiday?”

Army Guy says "Shello?"  Not sure what kind of creature is on the other end of the line…

1/23 - Dino likes the new arrangement

There are new flowers in the lobby and Dino wanted to eat sniff them.

Remember when we went to see the monarch butterflies?  And they explained how a caterpillar changes into a butterfly by shedding its skin to turn into a chrysalis.  Inside there, it turns into caterpillar goo, completely dissolving and somehow reforming into a beautiful butterfly, with all its caterpillar memories intact.  (Um, wow.)

Who remembers the word for that process?  Go ahead…  Raise your hand if you know it… Metamorphosis!

Not sure what this drab painting has to do with a transformational miracle, other than having the same name, but Dino liked it.  Good enough for me.

1/15 - Creature Power Disk and Ghostie like it organized

Creature Power Ghostie found a basket full of flowers.  A bike basket, that is.  How pretty! Best basket case I’ve seen in a while.

We found someone’s to-do list at lunch time.  The first item should have been “don’t lose to-do list…”

1/08 - Danger does not pose with pretty pink flowers

His name’s Danger!  He’s a really tough dude!  He’s…  posing with pretty pink flowers.  Whoopsie.

11/16 - Dalmatian Dog and the red rainberries

We were looking at this car and then realized it was looking back at us!  Dalmatian Dog said, "Mobile eyes."  (He's clever like that.)

These berries and the vase matched Dalmatian Dog’s nice red collar and reminded him of fire engines.
