2/18 - Stormtrooper Piggie goes boxing

He made quite a fortress with the moving boxes on my floor.  I hope it won’t annoy my coworkers when they fall down!

1/29 - Bullseye takes art class with Frog and Toad

They told him art takes a steady hand.  (Bulleye does not have hands!)
They told him art takes a clear head.  (Bulleye can do this!)
They told him art sometimes requires sweat and tears.  (This will make Bullseye rusty!)

Bullseye decided he would rather look at art instead.  Smart Bullseye.

     * Spelling words in bold.

[fun note for grownups -- the original photo had Frog (or Toad?) male-enhanced by some nice tagger in the BART station.  I have since made the photo suitable for younger viewers.]

Then we had dinner with Jeanine, who caught me up on all the news from my old job, and took Bullseye's name a bit literally...

1/28 - Bullseye thinks it rings a bell

Bullseye thought he would entertain my coworkers by ringing this bell.

It made a horrendous sound!  It was not at all the melodious, carefree moment he thought it would be.
Oops.

       *robust vocabulary words in bold!

5/15 - Plate of Carrots strikes gold!

POC found some miners panning for gold.  Usually carrots shy away from pans, but POC wanted to learn how it was done.

And look!  Plate of Carrots ended up being the golden treasure.  How on earth did that happen?

5/14 - Plate of Carrots is in disguise

Holy cow!  What on earth have we found?  A carrotsaurus?

And look past that table – do you see something round?

5/08 - Tinkerbell waits

Tinkerbell tried with all her might to follow the rule and wait, but it was no use.  She was hungry!!

She liked these balloons because one was the same color as the band in her hair.

4/10 - Witchy Poo goes for a spin

She liked this all white bike and thought she’d take it for a 7 mile ride across the city.

Then she tried to dance with the beautiful ballerina, but didn’t want to get too near, for fear she’d be kicked in the ear.

2/13 - Army Guy sweeps the blue sector

He had a handle on this project, sweeping every single little blue square by hand.  Good job, Army Guy!

Army Guy gets out once in a blue moon.  OK, this wasn’t really a moon.  It’s a blue circle on the floor in the stairwell to help with fire drills.  Don’t wig out.

1/24 - Dino peeps at some peepers

I bet you guys can read this sign! (But can you tell me what it is selling?  I have no idea…)

Parking meters must run on batteries – this one was lying on the ground far from its base, no wires to be seen.  We watched it flash “Expired Expired Expired.”  Very appropriate.

12/18 - Caiman and Red Angry Bird play doctor

I think I have Lil' Gal's stuffy nose...  I woke up this morning and felt really sick, so I called out from work. These guys are taking good care of me, so I thank them much.

11/06 - SpoonyHead is a good citizen

We should all vote today.  It does not take much work, and the country will thank us for it.

SpoonyHead called a tall trolley. He wanted to take it to the top of the hill, but we had to get back to work.

10/25 - Cloud Guy and the old salt

He wanted to put a lot of salt on my lunch instead of the hot sauce I wanted.  I told him I got to pick, since it was my lunch!

Cloud Guy has a happy heart full of wisdom. No, really!  He does!  Look!

10/24 - Cloud Guy says, "I am not a baseball!"

We saw a lot of clouds in the sky this morning and were happy that it was not raining. We thought this cloud’s light was very impressive and kept looking back at it.  Cloud Guy wanted to learn this trick -- I can't blame him.

People in the city have baseball on the brain this week.  Oh, yes.  There were a lot of vendors selling Giants things.  Cloud Guy and I did not get anything and went back to work, where people were wearing orange ties or whatnot, a style I call "Giants casual."

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!

10/ 09 - Yellow Jack says, "Soup's on!"

(This week's spelling words are in bold font!)

I am still feeling sick today, so Yellow Jack and I stayed in.  Here, we packed up tissues and the phone so we could call in to a big meeting.

I picked up a double batch of soup from the Thai restaurant last night so I'd have some to eat for my sick day.  Yellow Jack thought it smelled yummy.  (It was.)
