12/31 - Muckie takes a note

Lil' Gal gave me Muckie today "so he can help you type the letters on the computer," which is what she likes to do with Mama.  So here is Muckie, doing my 2010 self-review.  (Kidding!)

jsdafiuasdkjklja asdffafffaaaaaooooeeeehhh

Happy new year!!  May 2011 have more fun and less meetings!

12/30 - Muckie is a lucky ducky

I finally broke down and used an ice scraper today on my frosty windshield.  (I had long sworn that I would not own one in CA.)  Muckie was a good helper.

My new boss took us to lunch at a fancy restaurant today.  I had beet and goat cheese ravioli and a nice salad. Also a really yummy dessert that I gobbled up before Muckie could get a photo with it.  NOM NOM NOM!!

12/29 - Go, Bitsy, Go!

Bitsy is driving her Lego convertible away from meetings as fast as she can.  Pedal to the metal, Bitsy!

12/28 - Dad and Bitsy have tall friends

Mr. "Dad" Pteranodon and I found this little dog in the train station.  She was lost, so we brought her with us to work. She says her name is Bitsy, and she can't wait to meet you guys when we get home.  (You'll have to share her, OK?)

We all had lunch with Ashley, and then we found a big nutcracker!  (He was nice.)

12/27 - Little Z thinks cleanliness smells like red velvet cupcakes

Wonderful Wanda left me some holiday goodies that included this hand sanitizer gel.  It really does smell like red cupcakes!  (I think -- my nose is still stuffed up!)

This is the alley on the way to/from the Japanese restaurant.  We're having vegetable donburi and seaweed salad for lunch.

12/24 - Cookies for Santa

Today, I made cookies and decorated them with the kids.  Lil' Gal was intent on putting every sprinkle available to her on her cookies.  Lil' Guy was intent on eating as much of the sprinkles as possible.

And then, we almost forgot to leave them out for Santa!  Whoopsie!
Happily, Lil' Gal remembered and Xmas was saved.

12/23 - Red Froggie goes last-minute shopping

No work for me today!  Yippee!  I did get to visit 2 grocery stores to get all the ingredients for our Xmas feast, however.  Here's Red Froggie at Trader Joe's.

Here we are at Safeway.

12/22 - Duplo Guy likes working in the shed

I'm working in the loft of our Mega Shed today, while cleaning ladies make our house gleam.  Once I found an extension cord for the space heater, it turned out to be a pretty good workplace.

I forgot to bring a toy up here with me, but Duplo Guy was in the giveaway pile.  I'm guessing once the twins see him, he'll be invited back into the house.

Ha!  Mama didn't show them the photo!

12/21 - Eggplant and the "Meeting Pirates"

Eggplant and I found this comic on our desk. Wouldn't meetings be much more fun with pirates in them?  YARRRRRR!!!

We saw this nice Xmas tree (and David) when we went out for lunch. David and Joanne sent you some presents!  We can open them when it's Christmas!

Mommy's work PC is not happy today.  Happily, Eggplant always is.

12/20 - Princess P. says "achoo!"

Pretty Princess P. is so polite with her blue hanky.  Today, she is wearing a fire safety lanyard as a vest.  (I'm sure she needs all the help she can get with this cold.)

Bad news:  Mama's "cold" that she's had since Thanksgiving is now officially bronchitis.  This doesn't bode well for me...
