Here is my addition for Candid Carries weekly Friday Foto Finish Fiesta. This picture makes me think of middle school boys. I am sure they would find this as hilarious! (Don't forget ladies and gentlemen I spend a bulk of my day with middle school kids and I know how there little minds work.) Those are the legs and arm of a future monkey in the making. It was taken back in December, I forgot I had it on my camera. Too funny not to share!
It's in the Sauce (SITS) is a fun new blog to go to. It features a blogger a day and sends traffic your way! (nice rhyme, I know) Whenever you see the SITS logo: Comment, Comment, Comment. You can always say: "I saw the SITS logo and"..... If you are lucky you'll be featured. Anyway you look at it though, you've got plenty of good reading! Check it out!
Tomorrow is the last day of school for Jen's students and she thought it only appropriate that the monkeys & Oreo spend one more night together. Tomorrow, Quinten and Oreo are going in the prize basket for the game (appropriately titled) SKUNK. It is pretty fun math game using dice that the students enjoy. Besides more than two monkeys/animals in the house are too much for Jen to take care of this summer. Quinten and Oreo aren't trained as well, and it will take too much time and effort to get them refined to the level of Guillermo of all monkeys. (Not to mention a couple of the girls in the class have been eyeballing them asking if they can take care of them over the summer.) I am sure they will be treated well. However, I am sure they will be missed. Next year, knitting club will have to have a special unit on knit animals.
It was waaaay too hot today to wear the full Minkee Fu gear! When taking the top off, we noticed that the pants are multi-purpose! The makers even made an opening in the back for our tails to hang out! It is pretty awesome. G-Man decided to play 'flying nun' today and wore his pants on his head. He can be pretty creative at times!
B-Man and G-Unit are no more! We are now: Bernardo-Iron Fist and Guillermo-Kamakazi (Japanese for "Divine Wind"...go figure) . (Jen found an awesome kung fu name generator and have been playing with it ever since.)
We have been practicing our Minkee Fu for the last two days. Punching, kicking and hooting our little hearts out! We have done a lot of sparring too. B-man, I mean Iron Fist, won most of the matches because I would kick too hard and accidentally fart. This lead to laughing, followed by more farting. At one point B-man took cover because my butt "sounded like a machine gun" as he put it. It has been a lot of fun. Not to mention our new duds! Don't we look awesome! Be careful, we are now lethally trained. Beware our wrath!
PS Just to let people know, Jen did NOT make these for us, she found them for a dollar at Ben Franklin (she DOES have a life!).
We are free, monkees in our purist form. We have been running around up here, hooting and playing like were back in the jungle! Right now, we are looking for Kate and the others from Lost... (They don't seem to be in this jungle anymore, I wonder where they went?)
This is by far one on my favorite fotos of these two little guys... You just look at them and picture giggles and rooting through sock drawers....
We decided we needed to settle down a bit before Lost starts, so we practiced part of the Ashtanga Primary Series. Bernardo is doing Upavistha Konasana or wide angled seated forward bend. That is one of Jen's all time favorites. Brian just rolls his eyes jealously when she plops down the the floor with ease. Her butt sticks up just like Bernardos too!! I am doing hanumanasana or monkey pose! They named a pose after monkeys!!! OMG that is awesome!!! Brain has been practicing this one for a while and just two days ago made it on both sides. It was pretty freaking awesome!!!! Now, we are just waiting for Lost to start and find out how our cutie pie Kate is doing.... We still hope to run across her in the jungle and cuddle attack her. She won't know what hit her!!! Well, we are off to make popcorn and watch the show. More posts tomorrow... Monkeys out!
It was a nice, warm, Midwestern day so we decided to be helpful little monkeys and volunteered to help hang the laundry outside. It was very hard trying to hold onto the sheets, climb up the pole, scale along the wire, and then finally use these multipurpose clothes pins! It took a while to get the sheets done, but we did it all by ourselves. I hope it doesn't matter that we accidentally dropped them a few times (once in a mud puddle)! We love to help out around the house! When we were done, there were some clothes pins left, so of course we have to play with them. The only problem is, once we got these on, we couldn't manage to get them off! I think it would be helpful to have opposable thumbs. Jen, get on that and when we need replacement parts, maybe then we will then be able to grip things! Although, if it effects our cuteness quotient our answer is "NO..... NO..."
Yesterday, it was 82 degrees outside. Today, 59!!! What is going on with the weather?!? Did a meteorite hit Earth? Are we entering the next ice age??? Is Guillermo's vow to quit farting effecting global warming? What is going on??? What's worse, Jen's been gone for over 10 hours so she can't answer our questions!!! Too many long hours for her lately! She needs some good quality minkey time! (Only ten more days of work for her this school year. Then she is ours for the summer!) Since we had the whole day to ourselves, we turned on the Weather Channel and saw that a cold front came through. Good thing, we thought the worst was coming our way!
Hey all! In case you didn't know, Brian has a niece and nephew spending the summer in India! Some tourism + yoga training. They got a LOT of shots before they left, but apparently were takin' down by some JACKFRUIT. Major bummer, but we think they'll be on their feet in no time. We decided to try some jackfruit as a tribute...all we could find was canned, but that's OK.
Bernardo decided to give it a go (smelled good to ME!) and he enjoyed it, but was felled only an hour or so later by some cramps. Poor guy! But he was back on his feet fairly quickly, and minkee shananagins were on once again. More power to Evan and Kelly!
What better way to spend a three day weekend than hanging out and enjoying the weather. At least until the big storm hit last night. What a doosey! However, this weekend was all about having fun and relaxing. We channeled our inner minkee and swung around the sun porch and the apartment. We hooted like minkees and scared the next door neighbors dog! (which is a good thing, she never stops barking when she's outside.) We also laid out so I can work on becoming even more mocha brown. There was even a few rounds of our favorite minkee games like Scrabble, Twister, Zombies and the all time best game ever; Barrel of Monkeys! All in all a pretty good weekend. I wonder what Jen and Brian did?
Jen explained that the thing in the basket was a prototype for the two of us. She apparently tried out a number of sizes before she came up with the perfect minkey size. Which is good, we are so cute and cuddly this size I can't imagine being THAT BIG! She apologized several times, she forgot that she hadn't gotten rid of it. I took it upon myself to destroy it. So, I farted on it for good measure, then Bernardo and I tried to rip it to shreds. However, NO opposable thumbs made that pretty hard, so Jen took the scissors to it and it is now destroyed. Whew! Glad that is over. I was a scared little minkee for a while. By the way, sorry I farted on your pillows Jen. You might want to throw the cases in the wash along with your favorite comfy pants. Sorry, its what minkees do when they are upset. Love you.....
Must be some strange kind of hybrid. Whatever, Bernardo and I are very pleased with the results. Bernardo said I must have a "Brown Thumb". Awesome (altho I always thought it was "GREEN thumb"....). Brian must be very proud of us, as he has been smiling and giggling since we showed him our plant.
Now, time to enjoy the fruits of our labor, minkee-style.
Keepin' it real...Guillermo, out.
We just want our faithful readers to know that we do take our minkee hygiene very seriously! No filthy minkees in this household. Lots of suds and bubbles followed by careful grooming. We also do our grooming in the other room away from Brian and Jen. It is our minkee private time when we make ourselves clean and presentable to the public. After suds and bubbles tonight, we are going to watch some t.v. and then adjourn to our luxury accommodations for the night. Minkees out!
Things were going great until I decided to play a little prank on G-Unit. He didn't take it well.
But I suggested we get right down to some minkey antics, and he got over it quickly! Which is good, I hate it when he gets pouty!
