12/08 - Spider in the Umbrella Garden

My coworkers are drying out their umbrellas in the Pirate Annex across the way from me.  Spider thought it looked like a garden of umbrellas.

Later, I thought Spider looked like the Kraken, as he climbed aboard my pirate snow globe.  (Spider has a history of looking like a scary sea creature, you may recall.)

12/07 - Fido must be hungry

Fido tried to gnaw on the bony hand of his new pirate skeleton friend.  No, Fido, no!  Fido, shake!

Fido's most excellent doggie nose sniffed out a bake sale!  Good Fido!

I'm bringing home chocolate cake pops for Mama and the twins. (I'll have my brownie here, as a treat for surviving 7 meetings.)

12/06 - Ian finds penguins in a mini Xmas tree forest

The penguins say "Peek a boo! Happy holidays to you!"  Ian says "Oink."

This year, our office doesn't have a big Xmas tree.  Instead, they've lined the hallway to the elevators with these little trees and poinsettias.

12/03 - Littlest Seahorse is excellent with numbers

Silly Seahorse slid down a triangle block while I had 3 meetings.  Whee!! (Two of the meetings were at the same time -- 8am!)

Littlest Seahorse realized that we have an example of poor QA work on my very calendar...  Can you find the number 12?  Can you find it again?  Whoopsie!  What number should the first 12 have been?
8, 9, ??, 11, 12 

We window-shopped on the way back from lunch. Which was eaten outside of the office!  With a friend!  We got to breathe fresh air!

12/02 - Apatosaurus hits the bottle

Apatosaurus and I saw such a pretty pink sky when we left the house for our early meeting, the first of 8 scheduled for today.

He wanted to get some exercise while I was trapped in meetings.  He's a good climber, all right.

12/01 - Glow-in-the-Dark Penguin gets an owie

Today, we learned that glow-in-the-dark toys may glow extra brightly if you leave them sitting on a lamp, but this is not a best practice.
Bonus:  We got to practice our first aid skills!

12/01 - Tiny Red Dinosaur is in a fog

It's the first of three days of 8am meetings (two of them with conflicting 8am meetings!  WTF?!).  In my weariness last night, I remembered to set the alarm clock for earlier, but my calculations were off.  Instead of getting up 1.5 hours earlier, I only got up 1/2 hour earlier.  That was a fun scramble, especially the part where I sped off to the BART station before the windows defrosted.  Here we are, yelling at singing to the red light to help it change to green.

Tiny Red Dinosaur ate a digger!  OK, he didn't really. We took a quick detour between meetings to see what kind of destruction/construction was going on for the new Transbay Terminal.

11/30 - Please hold, Snakie.

Snakie thinks the cords from my phone and my headset are little snake friends.  Hisssss!

Snakie is a fruit surfer.  Pineapple waves...  Wheee!

11/29 - Olivia thinks it's beginning to look at lot like Xmas

This is the building across the plaza from ours.  What a big tree!

Olivia and Linda found a perfect pink flower at lunch.  Linda says, "Hi!"  Olivia says, "Oink!"

11/26 - Glitter Friday

While the rest of the world hit the stores, we busted out the glitter glue and sequins.  Of course, about as much got on the twins as their papers, but sometimes art is messy.  It is almost always better than meetings.  :)
