I finally got a chance to take a couple of pics-- and, as luck would have
it, they're of the two *not* pictured by Rob.  (They are the large images in

The boy pal has a clear circle in one hand but not the other.

The girl pal is holding regulation size pen and pencil (with the aid of those
circles) so you can get a better idea of her size.

refugee posters:

BTW my own kids couldn't keep their hands off of them-- they thought they were
