Carrot and I had a LONG train ride this morning. For me, commute delays = more nap. :)
During a conference call, Theodore the Tugboat and Carrot had fun hanging out.
You can "draw" a moustache or beard on Pirate Pete with a magnetic pencil -- or Carrot! Carrot ended up looking like an earring.
Every day, my 12th grade twins give me a toy to bring to work. I send home pictures of how the toy is "helping" me, and then save them to this blog. (OK, obviously, we are not really doing this anymore. Teenagers, amiright?) It definitely makes work more fun. For me -- I can't speak for the poor toy. Please do not use any of my images or writing without contacting me for permission.

3/29 - Roley smooths it out
(Took a personal day on Friday. Sorry if I left you in the lurch.)
Roley and I got to take a field trip this morning! On a bus!!
Then it was back to work and a bunch of meetings. Roley made himself useful by smoothing out all the Thinking Putty ("muddy").
Later, we learned all about steampunk, and he made friends with this steam-powered tractor. Or rather, gazed at it longingly like I do.

3/25 - Howler Monkey speaks up
Howler Monkey did not want to go to meetings. He tried to hide in a tree.
Later, he was hanging out with That Silly Doug.
Left ear, taken or not taken?
Howler Monkey made some friends at Mommy's hair appointment. (Hi, Ally!)

3/24 - Zebra stripes are everywhere
Zebra was so happy I didn't forget him this morning! We saw a striped trash can on the way into work, with up and down stripes.
Adelina was wearing her zebra dress today! What luck!
At the food court, we found stripey trees, if you please!

3/23 - My mini robot helper
Another work from home day, so I could attend a mid-day doctor's appointment. I picked this strange robot to be my WFH helper. Lil' Gal tells me his name is TorTay (Torte?).

3/22 - Go, Cheese Car, go!
Cheese Car thought the escalator handrail looked like a racetrack. Vroomity vroom!
At lunch, he thought the checkered floor at the food court looked like a racing flag.
When Ernie stopped by, Cheese Car was thinking such fast thoughts, he was a blur in the photo. Vroom!!

3/19 - Mommy forgot the toy!
Somehow, Zebra did not make it into Mommy's pocket this morning! Mommy is sorry.
[Not for kids: Mommy also almost got hit by 2 cars on the way into work and then decided to have cookies for breakfast.]
Mommy saw a nice palm tree at lunch. The weather was so nice, she did not want to go back to work. Or stop talking about herself in the third person like a weird reality show person.

3/18 - Baby Giraffe and the space alien
Baby Giraffe found some tender leaves to eat for breakfast at the flower stand by the BAR station. NOM!
At lunch, we saw a Space Alien! on the side of a van. (Mama told the kids he was holding a tool of some kind.)

3/17 - Frosty Car finds danger
I got to bring in the Frosty Car because he had green for St. Patrick's Day. (Close enough.)
We saw a zillion orange signs and caution tape galore at the BART station by my work and wondered what the heck was going on. Seems they're installing new turnstiles. Who knew it was so dangerous? Or that it required a sheltering tent?
We had a nice team lunch with That Silly Doug, Katelyn, and Dana. Frosty Car admired the quality salt and pepper shakers. I admired the mac and cheese and brussel sprouts.

3/16 - Jimmie and the sickly
Jimmie was very good at the doctor's -- stood right where the sign told him to. (He did time the wait with his stopwatch.)
At work, there was much concern about the zebra plant that swooned in my absence. And my coworkers decorated my cube/pirates with masks. They are so silly!
