PLEEPLEUS!!!!!

OMG, a real celebrity came over to our Two Knit Monkey site! He is the well known host of Three Sheets co-hosted by Zane Lamprey. What an honor it is to have him in our neck of the woods!

We had to have a welcoming shot taken before the festivities begin. We are going to show him the drinking traditions in the Gray household.
First off we introduced him to what is known as 'domestic beer'. Normally a better caliber of brew is in the house but when Pleepleus shows up you gotta give him the goods on hand!

After a few of the 'domestics' we introduced him to the tradition of socks on the heads. While playing a functional role of keeping our heads warm they look totally awesome. Please don't let him know he was wearing a baby sock. He oddly got VERY defensive by this so we convinced him Jen (our creator) shrunk the sock in the dryer....... (sorry Jen)
Then we lost Pleepleus for a while in the liquor cabinet. He came back smelling like tequilla but he was in a fantastic mood. To finish off the evening he helped Brian finish off his Juicy adult beverage.
We all had a great night. Pleepleus is currently sleeping it off in the executive suites. I wonder if he will ever get up again!

Jen's in the kitchen

When Jen came home from going out to lunch with grand-crator (aka, Jen's mom) she went straight to the kitchen. How strange she was in there after just going out to eat! She quickly came out and gave us all of these stickers to play with. AWESOME!!!!!

Then she let us out on the sunporch to play. What is going on with her today? But who are we to complain. Guillermo decided to hang around upside down for a while.
I was chilling out and tending to the new plants. I like to talk to the plants and encourage them to grow. Hopefully all of the plants will be strong and healthy. I ....... wait a second..........
We have been out here playing for quite a while.......

Jen is nowhere is sight......

I wonder what she is up to, lets go check it out!

OMG MANGO/PASSION FRUIT SANGRIA!!!!!!!!!!

Monkey Approved!!!!! Just don't tell her we tried it out.....

For making up the recipe it was delish! I hope she makes it again!

Oh My.......God of War III

Today a mysterious package arrived on our doorstep. At first we thought it was the Twilight graphic novel we order but to our surprise it was the latest God of War game!!!!! Holy monkey butts Guillermo, we got a kick *ss game in the mail!

Here's to an evening filled with Kratos, cyclops', gods, minions, harpies, and tons of fun!!!!

Crap, its rated M for mature. I guess we will have to watch Jen and Brian play........

Important Birthdays week and A Special Visiter

This week is full of very important birthdays. Jen's brother turned 40 and her niece turned 6. We wish them both very happy birthdays!

On Tuesday March 2nd it also happened to be Read Across America Day & Dr. Seuss' birthday. We were very surprised when one of our favorite Seuss characters stopped by. It was none other than The Lorax!!!!!

He was great to spend time with. He told us how he speaks for the trees and animals that have no voice of their own. When he told us about the Truffula trees being turned into thneeds, Guillermo initially wanted one! Once he explained what happened to the trees because of the thneeds he quickly changed his mind!

He taught us about the brown barbalutes and how they played in their brown barbalute suits!

The Lorax taught us all about greed, capitalism, and how important it is to preserve out environment. We had a lot to say about that since when we lived in the jungle as young-ins we relied on the trees for many things.

Before he left he made us honorary tree ambassadors and we took an oath to protect the trees and our environment. He also gave us two special seeds! We think they may grow into truffula trees!
