4/28 - Madagascar Penguin catches up on some light reading

Wonder what I've been doing while I've been out sick for eons?  Updating my family photo site, researching stuff online, catching up on reading, etc.  Here's Madagascar Penguin (formerly Tacky)  next to my "to read" pile.

4/27 - One of many "pet snails"

Lil' Gal is crazy about bugs and creepy crawlies.  She adopts worms and carefully relocates them to spots in the garden she thinks is more suitable for them, and begs us daily to go out front so she can "pick some snails." Lucky for her, rain makes them come out in droves and even peek from the doorway into the house.  (shudder)

4/26 - Goblin Stick (and still sick. Ick.)!

The kids came in from outside, all excited to show me the "goblin stick" they'd found.  Seems that this ordinary stick was used by a tiny goblin as a walking stick.  OK.

Guest photog David sent these pretty flowers he saw over the weekend.

4/23 - My three Doras

Today was another sick day, where I sat around wheezing and trying not to do anything useful around the house.  Lil' Gal lined up her three Doras to keep me company at the computer.

4/22 - Big digger, little digger

Today's big/little photo comes from guest Minion photog David.  Aren't they cute?

4/21 - Fireplug in drag

From guest Minion photog David:  a Very Shiny fire hydrant.  
(Yes, I'm still sick.  Feh.)




History lesson: 
It's been painted gold because it saved San Francisco from the Great Fire 100 years ago.

4/20 - Everyone loves a digger

Thanks to David for being today's guest Minion photog.  He sent the twins this lovely digger.

4/19 - Sick is ick

No working today, so no helpers.  Sorry.  :(

4/15 - Puff the Magic Mommy

The ideal of getting rest while working at home was not what happened Thursday.  What happened instead were meetings from 9:30am - 4:30pm, and whatever breaks there were between were filled with buckets of workity work.

Here's my breakfast of champions.  NOM.  suck suck suck.

I did not even get to call the doctor until 4:30.  At that point, it was too late to get me in for a breathing treatment at the office, so they had me go to the emergency room.  I was there for about 6 hours, getting 2 rounds of chest x-rays and 2 breathing treatments.  I officially have pneumonia and laryngitis.

Cab driver home was funny:  "How's your night going?  Good?"
Me: "Sure!  Everyone loves a good visit to the E.R."
(quiet ride home)

4/14 - Say, say! What does this say?

More working from home with god-awful sickness, me and the spouse.  Here's a nice long word one (or both?) or the kids did on the washer.  I like how it piles up at the top, kinda like the laundry baskets.
