Look what we found 2.0

Sequence of events.....  We went looking through the fridge for something interesting to try and boy did we find a doosey!  Jen loves this stuff, so it can't be that bad, right?!?  She puts it on sandwiches, pizza, veggie corn dogs, etc...  Although, I don't understand veggie corn dogs anyway!  

Rock, paper, scissors later, I lose and have to give it a try.  I put the fork in, give a big whiff and go for it....

So, that happened....  It knocked my socks of, literally!  I had no idea it was fermented and chock full of tangy goodness.  Only problem.... I JUST WOKE UP!!!

This noxiously delightful creation put the G-man out of action for over a day!  Apparently, every time I came to, I had nasty farts that knocked me out all over again.  I just woke up on the sun porch ready to go for the evening....  I am rested and up for anything....  I wonder where Bernardo is?

Look what we found!!!!

It is amazing what you can find with a little diggin through the cupboards. B-man had the great idea of putting these on our heads. He says he feels like king tut in his hat. Well that just cracked me up because tut sounds like 'toot' which is one of the things minkeys love to do (especially this minkey)!!! After a while, I decided I would try to do a headstand with my cool new hat on. It was tricky getting up there. Bernardo sat back and watched, he was too chicken to try... BAWK, BAWK Bernardo, BAWK, BAWK!!! Now, here is where the problem lies. With this thing on my head, I couldn't get back down from my headstand and I had to do A LOT of apologizing to get some help from you know who. After much pleading and tooting in fear, Bernardo helped me down and we continued to play. I took off my hat and turned it into a megaphone and jumpped up on B-man's hat and had some fun. I was shouting orders to Jen, like "keep on dusting", "that mirror isn't going to clean itself" and "you missed a spot". She looked a bit irritated with me, but she just left us alone. I think she said something under her breath about some new dust rag she could use, and was wondering how yarn could help pick up dust. I don't know what she was talking about?!? Unfortunatley, I had an accidental toot (or five) on Bernardo's head and the fun and games were over. Oh, well... I am sure we can find something else to play with.... I wonder what's in the fridge?

It's good to be a minkey!

A beautiful Friday! What else to do but play, play, play (though Brian did mention something about helping with the yardwork, but he can't be serious!?). We played Hide and Seek (if you look closely, you might find us in the second picture). Then we climbed on some minkey-bars. Yeah, we know: they don't LOOK like minkey-bars, but minkey+climbing=minkey-bars, got it! Glad we have that settled. Then we took a leisurely nap in the sun.

All in all, a good day to be a minkey, but then again, isn't every day?!

PS. Gee-Unit says to remind everyone to send in their photo captions (see last post).

Bernardo, over and out.

Take a Memo!

Bernardo here...  Wow, Jen has been soooo busy this week with work, she hasn't had enough time to play with us :()  So, we are reaching out to give her a hand and are starting a 'Caption This' segment to the blog.  We need your help in creating our adventures.  Unfortunately, Jen made us with tiny knit hands and we are unable to type for ourselves.  We are taking suggestions for this photo until May 21st at midnight (however we will still be a bloging from time to time as well).  The winner will have their caption on this post and we may even include an autographed, yes I repeat autographed photo of these two handsome fellas.  So start the creative juices flowing... No, not you Guillermo.... Man, he farted.....:(  Stinky Minkey!

A Little Help Please, Again!

O.K.  Jen was almost two hours late coming home from work, she 'claims' she was helping work on a big PowerPoint for work.   Whatever, we needed to get down to minkey business and start playing!  So, we got into the hair tie basket in the bathroom and started fighting over them.  Well, that just lead to more fighting and now we are stuck!!! And yes, that is my tail wrapped in there too.  This is very uncomfortable.  She came in the house and you know what she did?!? She looked at us, walked past and left us sitting on the couch bound together.  What a butt head!!!  I can't believe she just left us there!!!  Now we have to wait for Brian to come home and help us out.  I hope he gets here soon.....

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Since Brian and Jen don't have any kids yet, and technically Jen did create us, we thought it would be nice and write Jen a poem or two for mother's day.  We can be so mischievous and time consuming we also decide to be good little minkeys and give her the day off.  (But not Brian!!!  We may sneak attack him again today!)  Anyway, here is our first poem:

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

Jen's Super Awesome

She taught us not to fling poo!

We will try to write another one today, but we are going to take a break to play for a while.  By the way, check out our hats!  We stole them from Brian's sock drawer!!! Minkeys out!

Field Trip 2.0

Well, Brian is a fuddy duddy!  He wouldn't let us come to yoga with him and he said I can't work on my Iron Man outfit because I might damage myself with the scissors!!  So instead we thought we would give you some more pics from our fun filled field trip to Jen's school. (nice alliteration, huh!)  This is B-man and I playing on the pencil sharpener.  He tried to convince me to put my tail in there and he would sharpen it for me, but I said "No...No...".  He would have unraveled me!!! Does he want to be a solo minkey?!?

Next, we played hide and seek and I found the best hiding place.  B-man didn't find me for almost an hour.  It was a good thing he found me when he did, it was getting pretty stinky in there.... I wonder why.....

Lastly, we decided to put the libraries copy machine to good use.  It made our butts nice and toasty warm.  Unfortunately, Jen found us and threw away the copy before we could post it.  She didn't think people would really be interested in looking at monkey butts on the internet.  I know I would find it interesting!

Spa Day

Sorry loyal readers that we didn't get a chance to post yesterday.  Jen had some appointments and went to the mother of all book sales so she dropped us off at the local spa for the day for some serious minkey pampering.  We got ear massages, tickles and hugs from the cute little massage therapists.  Then came the the minkey pedicure.  We were so relaxed that we loosened our scarves and Bernardo put on the grass skirt from Cinco de Mayo party we had.  After we were picked up, Jen and Brian went to go see Iron Man.  They tried to leave us at home, but we hid in Jen's purse and got to see the whole thing.  That movie was AWESOME!  I think  I may have to make myself an Iron Man outfit so I can be just like Tony Stark!

Meet Foster

Foster, Cara's dog, came to skool today for a field trip too. When we first met, we didn't know what to think. He looks a little different from us, and he didn't smell farty so we weren't sure if he was o.k......

Guillermo had the brilliant idea to do what dogs do and sniff his butt to make sure he was on the up and up. Apparently, he has recently had his suds and bubbles because he didn't smell at all!

As the saying goes, I'll show you mine if you show my yours. Well, he had to sniff us as well to make sure we are good natured minkeys. There was a problems though.....

He was a little upset with the foul stench that emanates from G-man's fanny region and wasn't sure he wanted to be friends. I think it also offended Foster that Guillermo tried to ride him like a pony! I assured him that we are good little minkeys but all the same I don't think he was too comfortable with the stinkyest of the minkeys. We had fun though.....

Field Trip!!!

We had so much fun at school today. We hung out in the library with Mary for  a while and read a good book about Walt Disney.  Mary was very patient with us.  Do you see how many books we pulled down off the shelves to find that one!

Then we decided to hide in some shelves and scare some of the students when they went to find a book.  The only problem was, they could hear us giggling and knew we were there before they saw us.

We have a lot more pictures that we took while at skool that we will share them with you later.  Right now, it is off to nap time.  Who knew playing all day could be such hard work.  Our little minky butts are tired.    

Skool!!!

Tomorrow it is take your knit animals to work day (at least for Jen and Cara it is!)  We are looking forward to some scholarly adventures and I hear there may be a field trip in the works....  What can two knit monkeys and a dog do on a field trip?  Let's see where tomorrow's festivities take us!!!  It is going to be awesome!!!

By the way, we just recently graduated from minkey charm school, so we will be on our best minkey behaviors.  I hope Foster the dog doesn't turn us to the dark side and get us in trouble!

Study break...

Brian has been working on his final project for school and was looking a little frazzled, so Bernardo came up with a plan to sneak up on him and attack! We can be pretty ferocious when we want to be...nothing like two stuffed, dangly 12-inch minkeys to scare the #@* out of ya! Brian seemed genuinely scared, but we assured him we were just playing, and he seemed grateful for the break.

But he has to get back to work, so B-man and I are going to play Superheroes! I am going to be Stink-Lord, Ruler of Stench, and Bernardo said he is going to be Itchy Pants, Creator of Uncomfortable Wool Trousers. I don't know about that minkey sometimes...his humor is just so "out there". He thinks it's hilarious though, and has been running around giggling and threatening everyone with "chafing" and "rashes". As long as he's happy, I guess. But now I must flee...adventure calls!

Dutch Oven

OMG!  When reading the May publication for the Radish, one of our free local healthy living magazines, they were advertising A DUTCH OVEN COOK OFF!!!!!  I didn't know you could cook via Dutch Oven!!!  Now I have an excuse to fart in bed even more!!! I wonder what I can cook under there! My day is getting better and better.

By the way, check out our cuteness!!!  Jen left out a shirt and we turned it into fun and games.  Brian is always telling her to put her things away (she is a bit messy!) so we thought we would teach her a lesson about why she should pick up after herself.  I have been practicing that Dutch Oven thing in here all day.  She isn't going to get this minky stink out of this shirt for four washes!!!  I think I better stop soon, Bernardo looks a little green!  Guillermo out!

Late Night Antics...

Cinco De Mayo was so much fun!  Bernardo and I split one of Jen's world famous margaritas and went into party mode.  Jen and Brian went off to bed, and Bernardo played the maracas all night, as I danced like I was at Burning Man.  The grass skirt got a little hot, so I took it off and, put it on my head, and turned into what Jen called "Cindy Lauper".  I don't know what that is, but I had a great time.  I'm going to go and sleep it off in the sock drawer for a while.  I think Bernardo is already in there, he said he was going to bed about a half hour ago.  More antics later.....

We're Ready To PARTY!!

When are those two going to get home?!?  We are ready to celebrate Cinco De Mayo!!!  I hope Jen makes some of her famous Margaritas!  By the way, check out Bernardo's maracas, aren't they cool!  Jen and Brian brought them back from their honeymoon to Mexico a few years back.  I made my grass skirt and coconut bra myself.  What do you think?  

Arts and Crafts

In preparation for Cinco De Mayo, we spent the day making outfits for tomorrows festivities.  I believe we have outdone ourselves this time.  Bernardo is being a putz and won't wear the outfit, but maybe I can convince him by tomorrow night.  I can't wait, it is going to be so much fun.  This time, I am not going to drink and 99 Bananas.  I was so sick after St. Patrick's Day I spent the next day in Jen's sock drawer trying to feel better.  She wasn't sympathetic though, I think she was feeling a bit under the weather herself.  Tomorrow Night is going to be SUPER AWESOME!!!!!

Teabagasana

For those of you non-sanskrit speakers 'teabagasana' translates to tea bag pose.  We invented it this morning by stealing, I mean 'barrowing' the tea bags Jen was using to make some Ice-T.   When she saw us, she must have been very impressed because she was speechless!!!  However she did come back a few minutes later and took them off our heads because they could stain our precious monkey yarn!!!  She later said that when Brian gets home from yoga, he can explain to us what tea-bagging is and why we shouldn't put theses on our heads again.  She can be such a fuddy-duddy sometimes!

And We're Spent...

Guess what happened.  After my little incident playing with bloons,  I was stuck floating around up by the ceiling for over 24 hours.  Jen and Brian finally found me when they heard Bernardo laughing at me flying around the ceiling.  I must say, I had a great time.  I would fart and then fly across the room in the other direction.  It was a lot of fun for a while, but when your naturally farty it gets old pretty quick.  Anyway, they helped me down and gave us more bloons to play with.  We are tired out.  We played a game where we would put a bloon on the floor and jump down on them from the futon and then fly across the room.  It was a lot of fun, but we are tired.  Good thing it is about time for bed.

OMG...Bloons!

Technorati Profile

This is a hold up.......

Give us all of your bananas or the mocha monkey will fart.  And believe me, he's a stinky one!  You'll reek for a week!
