2/25 - Pidove is ready to fly the coop

The people on this part of my floor have moved to different desks while the renovation project is taking place.  Pidove and I went to check it out. We saw deskless desks, flocks of office chairs, and all kinds of moving things with wheels.

Pidove wanted to have hand-truck races, but I wanted to nap in the big boxes.

Instead, we went back to work.

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!!

2/25 - Green Piggie finds an angry computer

Or maybe it was me that was green with a case of the Mondays…  One of these days, I really should call the help desk.

Here, Green Piggie curls up in Buddha's lap.  Sounds like one of the best nap spots on heaven or earth… (I didn’t realize that Buddha had a man parrot on his shoulder!)

11/12 - Ham and grits

On Monday, we had breakfast at the Trolley Diner, which may well be my new favorite diner.

The kid menu is on View Finders!

And then, it was time to fly back.  I slept (whee whee whee!) all the way home.

10/12 - Nap time for Woodstock's Tree

I found myself needing a stapler, so Woodstock's Tree and I looked through my old work boxes in the shed.  We were happy to find a stapler.  And not only any stapler, but Fish Stapler!!  We will be stapling with style now.

I am still a bit sick, so after being on hold to resolve a bill, I decided to hop back in the sack.  (Look at all those spelling words!!)  Doesn't Woodstock's Tree look cute all snuggled up?  (His elbows are a bit pointy, though!)

Meanwhile, the twins participated in their school's walkathon.  They walked 8 laps, got their faces painted, ate hot dogs, and entered some raffles.  That sounds like much more fun!

9/20 - Littlest Monkey dreams of sweet berries

It was warm in the sunshine, so Littlest Monkey curled up in the branches of a nearby bush for a nap. He was dreaming of something sweet to eat, and then when he woke up, he realized he was surrounded by berries.  Sweet.

This sidewalk elevator is very wise indeed.  Can you read what its sign says?

7/29 - Weekend fun: Kite edition

This was a busy summer weekend.  We didn't have derby practice on Friday because a lot of people were at RollerCon.  #jealous  Saturday was Erika's birthday, so we joined her for a lovely party in the park.  How happy were we that the park had a pool?  (Answer:  Very.)

 Happy birthday, Erika!

 I love a blue California sky.

On Sunday, we went to the Berkeley Kite Festival with David and saw some amazing kites.

We also played on the kid bouncy structures.

David showed us how to fly our very own Lightning McQueen kite!  Whee!!

And then, we were very tired.  The end.

12/27 - Mario Dog says, "Who turned out the lights?"

I guess even BART stations need new light bulbs once in a while.

Mario Dog has his head in the clouds... he’s napping while I edit big documents.  Seems he’s dreaming of a white rabbit.  I wonder what that means?

10/24 - Sally takes an easy nap (while the twins take a field trip)

This napkin holder said “Easy Nap,” so Sally laid down and started sleeping, right there at the salad bar.  Whoopsie.

While Sally and I were chasing meetings that were on-again/off-again, Mama went with the twins on their class field trip to the pumpkin patch.

10/18 - Cornay helps me through a sick day

Lil' Gal's favorite sleeping friend is Cornay, a flying horse she picked out when she was two instead of the doll we intended to get her.  Cornay, in her mind these days, is a male dog who is very brave and handsome... and the hero of all her bedtime stories.

This morning, Lil' Gal told me that Cornay could keep me company today and make me feel better on my sick day.  Awwww.  Here we are catching up on our magazines.

Here we catch up on our computer stuff.  (Not pictured:  the 6-hour nap from heaven.)

8/15 - Pilot Jack watches over you while you sleep

Pilot Jack wanted to chomp on bananas at lunchtime, but we opted for a veggie Vietnamese sandwich instead (not pictured).

Mama sent me this picture of you guys sleeping in the van.  Pilot Jack and I say, “Awwwwww.  So cute!”  Hope you had sweet dreams!
