9/09 - Weekend fun: Fall Festival Edition

The bathroom renovation continued this weekend (and is finally finished!), but at least we got a good box to play in out of the deal.

We also got some new pajamas from eBay that seemed a lot like race car driver uniforms to us.

Then, we enjoyed running into friends at the Fall Festival.

And hanging out in a police car!  Book 'em, Danno.

8/09 - Space Suit screams for ice cream

The police officer was looking for bad guys and wondered why a space suit would be wandering around by itself…

I love this building. Today they offered us free ice cream and a harp player up on the rooftop. What’s not to lick? I mean, like?

Damien and I took Space Suit to get ice cream. Damien and I had cookies and cream. Space Suit got whipped cream everywhere…

7/23 - Red says, "Dude, where's my car?"

Somebody took my car from its spot right in front of the house last night! This very nice police officer is trying to find it.

These BART doors did not work, and had big yellow stickers on them saying that they were not going to open. I can’t tell you how many people stood there, staring at the stickers, waiting for the doors to open… Here is one of them. Red thinks he needs a seeing eye dog.

Elizabeth and Divya and I went for boba tea. Mine is green apple flavor with little tapioca gummy balls at the bottom. The straw is just big enough for me to sip them up along with the tea. Yum!

Hey! The very nice police officer DID find my car! Same day service!! It was a few blocks away from the house and would not turn off, but otherwise it was in good shape. Nothing was taken, and it still had a full tank of gas. (So much for the flaming Bonnie & Clydie blowout I hoped it was having.) Hopefully, the mechanic will have a nice cheap fix for it tomorrow.

6/18 - Baby giraffe finds fog and a tall triangle

This BART Police officer was much taller than Baby Giraffe, even when he stretched his neck waaaaay up.

He stretched his neck again, but he still wasn’t as tall as the Transamerica Building. Sweet little Baby Giraffe and his stretch goals…

6/08 - Police Car does the math

Usually, the police make the bad guys line up.  Today, Police Car got in the line-up with the fire engines.  That’s a good line-up!

The sign said “5 Star Parking,” but Police Car only has 3 stars on him.  How many stars does he need to park in that lot?

They threw these monkeys a tea party to celebrate the queen’s jubilee.   I guess going crazy for cupcakes is a universal (multiversal?) thing.

6/06 - Miss Kitty wants to wave to President Obama

Look who “Miss Kitty” saw on BART today – herself on a shopping bag!  Miss Kitty says hello, big smile.

There were crowds gathered in the street as we walked back from lunch, waiting to see President Obama drive by on his way to lunch.  We would have stayed to watch too, but we had a meeting.

1/20 - Yellow Yoshi yearns for hula hoops

Yes, I said hula hoops.  We saw a stack (?) of them on BART today.  Yoshi wanted to try one out, but the aisles were too small.

Poor little Yoshi looked sad standing on my desk.  (I think he misses Lil' Gal.)  So we went for a walk to get some more cold medicine to cheer him up.  All we found was a bunch of rain.  Bleah.

 Note for grown-ups:  We also found a slew of protesters and a MUNI bus with destination “SPECIAL,” filled with SFPD in riot gear heading to the Occupy protests.  Funsies.

Birthday Update:  The twins' super 6th Mario birthday party is tomorrow.  I have a zillion things to do and am tempted to put on my skates to see if I can get them done faster.  Wish me luck!

1/18 - Mario says "Hide!" to Bob-omb

We saw the big black SF Bomb Squad truck on the way into work. Good thing I didn’t bring “Bomb the Bomb” with me today!

Mario said, "It's Mario Time! Let's race!" But once again, the motorbike owner has not left us the keys…
So Mario challenged me to a running race instead.  He won, and said, “Oh yeah!  Uh huh!”

Mario and I took a quick walk to Chinatown, where everyone’s getting ready for Chinese New Year.

On the way back, the police were clearing the streets – somebody important was coming through!  The Vice President of our country was having a big lunch meeting at a building near my work. There was a small parade of police officers on motorcycles, cars filled with people in Very Important Uniforms, vans filled with soldiers, and other cars filled with diplomat/suit types.  Somewhere in all of that was our Vice President – we think we saw him!  (Mario waved.)

What an exciting walk!

Birthday Update:  I cannot believe that tomorrow morning, my wee little twins will be six (6) years old.  My goodness.  (I also cannot believe that another classmate is insisting on bringing in cupcakes tomorrow, when we called it a week ago!)

10/12 - Lady Alien likes a blue uniform

There were lots of police officers, police motorcycles, and police cars in my work neighborhood today. Lady Alien was happy to see them keeping everyone safe.

My favorite lunchtime park was locked up today, so Lady A. and I had to gaze at it from behind bars. She said, "Free the trees!"  Sadly, nobody heard her tiny alien voice but me.

Look what Michael sent: a picture of a real Warthog -- like our toy one!  Hakuna Matata!
