What to do for Halloween......

It is time again for our favorite holiday of the year where presents are not involved. HALLOWEEN!!!!! We are unsure of what we want to go as this year for 'trick or drinking' so we thought we should bring back some classic outfits over the last year and a half.

First off we have our 'Beauty Shop' photo shoot. It was pretty hard to get some good pics since we are minkees and have little fur on the tops of our heads. We rocked it though!

Mardi Gras Minkees. Don't ask how we earned those beads.....

Captain Underpants and Sock Head.

Cheese heads care of Candid Carrie. She's just awesome!

These minkees are heading to a Rave. I hear some whistles in the background, don't you?

Are those turtles? I don't know?????

Spulunky Monkeys.

Swinging Minkees in Galena, IL

Happy Halloween all.

We are definitely planning on dressing up for Halloween 'Trick or Drinking' but what should we go as?????

Bernardo, what the hell?!?!?!?

This is awesome!!! Jen got a Chi and it came wrapped up in this fantastic bubble wrap. I am one lucky minkee!

I wonder what Bernardo is doing. I haven't seen him in a while. I'd better go check on him....
Beranrdo!!!!! What the hell!
JEN!!! Bernado has something to play with, I want to play with it too!!!
Well, I guess I'll have to take care of this myself!
Hey man, Watch the doodle! Why do you have to be such a ponce and take everything I play with?!?!?
Ahhh, this is the life!!!!!

Guillermo you can be such a jerk sometimes!

I guess I will have to go find something else to play with!

Bernardo Out.

Lazy Daze

Ahhhhh, this is the life!

We get be lazy around the apartment all day, sunning ourselves on the porch and hooting it up.  Then we head in around 4, take a nap and get ready for the evening festivities.  We have some dinner, maybe a nip or two of beer, watch some shows and play some wii.  Man, it is good to be a monkey!

Next week however we may plan an adventure or two.  If you have any ideas, send them our way.  We are always looking for something new to try!

Minkees Out!

Hello there fella

While we were camera-less this past week Bernardo and I went on some travels and met this fine young fellow. He comes to us from the land of Morocco where our favorite Peace Corps volunteer is currently residing. N was not home when we stopped by, and we couldn't just leave him by the door. We decided to bring him home and put him in the mail. He should be in Morocco soon.

However before we let him leave we gave him quite the sendoff! He told us that the fez is the official hat of Morocco so we put Jen to work for us. She was nice enough (thanks Jen) to make us our own fez's so we could give him a proper sendoff. Good times were had by all. He will be missed.

On a side note, the new camera arrived today and it is sweet! We may have to have a fashion show later this week......

Minkees out!

Those were the days my friend... And Random thoughts

Back when Jen was in High School she was in a play called Life on the Bowery. In it she played a traveling minstrel who sang the introduction to both acts of the play. The song she sang was Those Were The Days and it has been going through her head all day. Being our creator we have this weird osmosis thing going on and it is also in our heads. So today we wanted to reminisce on this past summer when we could play on the sunporch......


Those were the days, my friend; We thought they'd never end; We'd sing and dance forever and a day; We'd live the life we'd choose; We'd fight and never lose; Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.....
So here we sit, two knit monkeys looking out into the cold weather and realize how good we really have it. It may be cold out there, but it is warm in our hearts and we have our memories to help us make it through the cold. Plus, it gives us time to plan some fun adventures. It is that time of year you know. And Guillermo has Calvin's blueprints for his transmogrifier..... I wonder if Hobbs or I can talk some sense into them before something goes terribly wrong.....

A trip to the doctors office.....

Ever sit in the doctors office wondering what to do? Well, Jen scheduled 2 appointments in one day and took us along for the ride. The first one was to the 'lady' doctor and she wouldn't take us in... I guess its 'cause we are boys and wouldn't understand all the 'stuff' that goes on. (she should have taken us, she would have had something to do while sitting there.)

We did get to go to her other appointment. We lounged around on this big comfy pillow, but we tend to get bored easily, and.....

Well, what did you expect? Two monkeys in a doctor's office with a blood pressure cuff. You are lucky the doctor came in right away, we were headed towards the tongue depressors and the giant jar of Q-tips. We didn't have nearly enough time to play. Next time we will have to get some better photos!!!

One Last Hurah

With the cold weather coming in we decided we better make the most of the day and spend it out on the sunporch. Its going to be too cold any day now and we won't want to go outside, even to play. Plus, the plants are going to have to come in soon and we aren't allowed to play on them inside. (We get too much dirt on the floor.....)For a while we played Tarzan and swung from plant to plant, hooting it up! We got some funny looks from the neighbors when we were hooting and I think we upset their dog too. He kept barking at us all day long. No, wait he does that every day.....
After our Tarzan games we played hide and go seek. It was alot of fun. The only problem is that when we play in the plants we get dirt all over us. We had to do some serious grooming of each other before we came inside. We were still a little dirty so we had to have an early suds and bubbles this week. Bubble time was AWESOME, we got to use some of Jen's Pumpkin Spice bubble bath and now we smell delicious! She can be so nice to us sometimes! She's a good creator.

Well, we better get going. House is on and this week is all about that cute little number 13! Meow! A monkey could cuddle the heck out of her!

Monkey Out!

Atlanta Adventure Pt. 2

While we were abandoned in the house last weekend, when everyone else went to the aquarium, we had to find ways to entertain ourselves in a foreign house.  We went around and did some exploring.....

One of the first things we found was a cool pair of clogs from Holland.  We decided to play in them for a while.  It was weird, they were made out of wood, but we made the most of it.

We then found this cool little puppy to take us for a ride.  We tried to get him to fly like in the Never Ending Story, but I guess he couldn't fly, so we just wandered around the sunroom for a while.

We played in the bedroom and became honorary members of the red hat society.  We aren't allowed to speak of our adventures with that, but they are a fun bunch of ladies!

We then found this cool sumo ring.  I kicked Bernardo's butt!  I knocked his ass out.  Well.... I farted in his face and he passed out.  That still counts, right?

After he regained consciousness, we decided to put on a play.  We did our usual rendition of Romeo and Juliet, like always.  We read what we have at home and have memorized the complete works of Shakespeare.... Thanks Jen.  Why don't you go out and get some new books!

Just as we were getting into the play, they came back and we had to go back to our room and play.  We aren't allowed out in public (yet). 

We did have a great time.  Hopefully we can go back soon and have more adventures.

Speaking of adventures, check out Candid Carrie to see what everyone has been up to this week.

Monkey out.

Adventures in Atlanta!

This past weekend we took a trip down to Atlanta, Georgia to visit Brian's brother. It was an awesome trip. We were well behaved so hopefully we will get to go again sometime soon!

It was kinda boring waiting in the airport at first, there was nothing to do. Then Jen suggested that we people watch, which made for a much better time. We saw all kinds of people, most of which gave us funny looks. It was like they had never seen a knit monkey before. How weird is that?

The coolest part of the trip was definitely the plane ride. What an adrenaline rush it is when that plane takes off! We didn't have our own seats, but we got to ride in Jen's carry on, so it wasn't too bad.

Once on the plane we made sure to read the safety information and locate the exits just in case there was an emergency. We listened patiently when the stewardess came over the loud speaker overhead. We asked questions about how to use the floatation devices and everything. (Guillermo also tried to get one of the oxygen masks from the stewardess, but she wouldn't let us play with one.) She was really nice and brought us our own bags of pretzels. I don't know why she didn't bring any for Brian and Jen though. Weird!

Later during the flight, the pretzels didn't agree with Guillermo so much and he had to use a sick bag. I don't think that he really knew what it was for, but apparently he really had to go....

Why he look in the bag to see what it looked like..... well, who knows the answer to that one!

It was really neat to watch the ground as we flew overhead. The world below was filled with tiny little cars and tractors and these little ants all over the place. Jen told us they were people, I don't know they were really small.

Check back later to see more of our Atlanta adventures.

Friday Foto Finish 10.10.08

This is a hostile takeover!  Froggy McGee here.  I have taken over the minkee blog, I repeat I have taken over the minkee blog.  

It seems our faithful friends did get into that suitcase yesterday and have now left town.  There landed in Atlanta last night and are going to be gone until Sunday.  That means I get to take over the house and do whatever I wish!  I decided that I would find some of the more embarrassing photos of our dynamic duo that they will probably don't want published......

During the early days of minkeedom, look what these two had to wear!

Embarrassing, simply embarrassing!  Guillermo had to wear PULLUPS for two months until he figured out how to go without making a mess.
Bernardo was a little quicker on the potty training, but man did he whine when he had to wear these.  What a wussy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, Ok..... So, I made it all up.  They didn't have to wear them.  They liked to wear them!  They pretended to be Homer Simpson lounging on the couch watching TV all day.  I'm really just jealous that there isn't a pair of unders that fit me.....  Maybe that's why I'm a cranky frog.....

I think I will go hang out in the sock drawer and see what all that business is about.

Froggy McGee out!

Make sure you visit Candid Carrie Fx4.  Fun will be had by all!

Big Mistake!

Check out our super new doodles!

Don't mess with them or it will be a big mistake! 

We found these fun little erasers in Jen's things when she came home from the store today.  They really are erasers!  

The weird thing though is she had all kinds of little things too.  She had tiny shampoos, contact solution, toothpaste and stuff like that.  There is suitcase that looks like it is about to be packed too.  Bernardo and I are going to go and hide in there and see what will happen next!  I hope this adventure won't be our last!

Wish us luck!
