Hi Jen!!

News update from MBC (Monkee Broadcasting.....yea, you got it, genius!):

Jen sounds busy at work, so we thought we would send her a quick self portrait or two to cheer her up!

Man, this little camera is hard to work with these big minkee paws!

Oh well, these suck.

Hi Jen!

We are ready!

As most of you know, we are HUGE Food Network fans.  One of the things we like to do to get ready to watch some of our favorite shows is dig in the kitchen gadget drawer and play around for a while to set the mood.

Guillermo is playing with the ducky scrubber, Bernardo is donning a cheese grater.  But the true question is what are on their ears?  Take a guess.  I bet you won't get it.  The answer will be revealed on Friday during Candid Carrie's fx4 post.  See you then.  Or on tomorrows post.

We're Alive!!!!

Well, as alive as two knit monkeys can be!

We are actually quite lucky!  If you read about our antics yesterday, you would understand why we were in so much trouble.  Check it out Part 1; Part 2.  We kinda deserved Jen's anger, we did take the headboard apart.  Luckily we came through unharmed.  The worst part was that we weren't allowed to watch our favorite show, DDD, and Guillermo couldn't put any "Sauce on it".  We also now have rules that we have to follow for the next two days.  It really sucks, but like we said we deserved it (is that enough times saying it?  Sorry.  We are just curious little minkees)

Here are the rules:

1. No Hats :(
2. No Food Network (so we can't put any sauce anywhere)
3. No executive suites.  I guess we did destroy them.
4. No playing in the laundry
5. No playing with anything from the tool box EVER AGAIN
6. And we have to be beer monkeys for the next two days.  One of them wants a brew, we have to go and get it.

It is going to be a rough couple of days, but we can manage.  I think we got off a little easily for what we did.  We learned our lesson.  Now, lets watch some T.V.

AAAAAWWWWW, Jen left us the wrong remote.  D*MN IT, now we have to crawl to the t.v.  Maybe Brian will hook us up before he goes to work.

Abort Mission, I repeat abort mission!

Oh, Sh*t!  Jen is going to be home any minute from the volleyball game.  We left the executive suites a mess!  Abort mission, repeat abort mission!!! I am going to hide!  When she sees the mess we made today, there is going to be hell to pay!  I hope she doesn't find me!

I am going to try for the cute angle!  She can't be mad at me, look how adorable I am in her shirt.  One look at me and she is going to say mess, smess!  We'll be fine!
Jen here!  OMG boyz what did you do to the bedroom?!?  Why is the headboard taken apart?!?  How did you get those tools!  Do I have to start locking the cupboard?!?  You get in there and clean up that mess before I unmake you!  That's right, I have a seam ripper and I am not afraid to use it!

Um..... ladies and gentlemen......  We will be back for tomorrows post (hopefully.  Love you Jen)  We have some serious cleaning up to do and we may be busy for quite some time.  See you tomorrow.  (that way, we have witnesses in case we don't show up again)

Macho, macho, minkees

Macho, macho, minkees.... We want to be some macho minkees.....

Macho, macho, minkess.  We have to be a macho....

Sorry, we were channelling the Village Minkees

B-man and G-mo here.  While Jen is away at work today we are going to do some construction around the house.  We were thinking of making some cosmetic additions to our executive suites.  We may live a plush life, but as all spoiled celebrities, we feel that we need some useless additions just to make us feel more important.  We were thinking of maybe putting together some bunk beds (G-mo does NOT get the top bunk by the way).  I hope she doesn't mind.  I am sure she won't.  Let's get to work.

"f"ing minkees!

Every time I get up from my comfy chair and leave the room, this happens.  

It was cute at first, look at a close up of their little mugs.  However, now I find it a wee bit annoying.
What amazes me the most is how quickly my husband can get these guys into this position.  He must have hypersonic speed and stealth powers.  I am amazed that I can walk to the kitchen to get a beverage and turn around and there they are.  I never actually technically leave the sight of the chair.  Oh, well.  I signed on for this once I started blogging about their adventures.  I encouraged him.  At least he uses his powers for good.

Friday Foto Finish 9.12

It's time again my faithful friends to talk of many things.  Of sealing wax.....  Wait, I just entered Wonderland for a moment.  What I wanted to do was enter Candid Carrie's Friday Foto Finish Fiesta. Make sure you scroll all the way down.  I owned up to the missing section on my post from last week......  I wonder what you'll see.....

I have been meaning to post a lovely photo of my minkees and I wearing matching hats.  There's have White Stripes (not the band), mine is just black and brown.  There's came from the sock drawer, mine came from India.  It is surprisingly warm!

If you've ever been here before, you know how much my husband likes to leave the minkees in funny positions for me to find.  Here is the front view.

And here they are from the back.  You can see their little minkee butts contoured by the awesomely warm hat.

And........

Now.........

Drum.......... 

Roll..........

Please.........

We have a sighting!  I repeat, we have a sighting.  Call the paparazzi, we have a Jen/Creator sighting.  Maybe one day you will see my whole face.  Maybe......  I don't know if I can take the stalking.

Spooky Minkees

What is going on here?!?

We were just hanging out in the chair earlier today and this strange thing happened.  We got all kinds of fuzzy and light was bending all around us.  Guillermo thought that we were being abducted by aliens.  We are so cute and cuddly that creatures from another world would want to smuggle a little minkee away on their trans galactic voyages.  Or so that's what Guillermo believes.  I know the truth!  Jen is planning on recreating us with this new yarn we are holding, so our minkee souls were being transferred to the new yarn (in small doses) so that when the conversion is complete we will be the exact same as we were before.  Either that or Guillermo had one of his super duper farts.  It was pretty smelly.  You decide.

Golden Monkey

You asked for it folks, photos of the two of us enjoying adult beverages.  This particular one is a hearty brew called Golden Monkey.  Yes ladies and gents, they named a beer after us!  It is quite tasty, but there is one problem.  It has 11.4% alcohol.  After a few sips we started to feel a little funny.  I think we'll give the rest to Jen and Brian.  We have to be wide awake when our show comes on tonight.  We love us some Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.  Do you know why we love it so much?  It isn't the host (who has really funny hair).  It isn't the restaurants.  It is the fact that periodically throughout the show they "PUT SOME SAUCE ON IT!!!!!!!!"  We really don't get out much, its the little things in life that make us happy.  

As a side note, do you see the ball of yarn by G-mo's butt?  Do you think that would make a nice new scarf for a monkey?  Maybe Santa can make a monkey one for Christmas?  Or, should we keep our same old scarves?  Just putting out the feelers.

I like big butts

After my post on Candid Carries Fx4, she left me another one of her song renditions based on I Like Big Butts. I always love her songs, and this one just takes the cake. Enjoy!

I like minkee butts and I can not lie

You other bloggers can't deny

That when a minkee walks in with an itty bitty face

And sticks his minkee butt up in your space

You get sprung

Wanna pull up tough

Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed

By Jen, she's the creator

Stuffin' minkees like double baked potaters

Oh, baby I wanna get with ya

And take my picture

Other bloggers tried to warn me

But that minkee butt looks so swarmy

Candid Carrie Out! Word!

And now commence with more monkey butts!

If you would like to see another one of Carrie's song stylings check out the Kung Fo Minkees. I see why she likes Idol so much. She's a natural!

Where did they go?

Jen here.  I was going to let the monkeys blog today, but I couldn't find them anywhere (hee, hee).  I thought I heard utterances of "put some sauce on it" coming from the box on the chair and a foul odor every once in a while would emanate from the same general area, but I just couldn't find them.  But I must say what a nice quiet day I have had today.  Got a lot of work done, did some knitting, read a while.  All in all I had a nice day.

What, I hear something..... "Jeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnn, Iron Chef is almost on.  Can we come out of the box yet?  We have been hiding all day.  It's time to put some sauce on it"

Oh, I guess monkeys.  It is about that time of the night.  Just give us an hour fart free, please.  (I know it isn't going to happen, but I can always hope, right?)

I wonder what is in store tomorrow?

Friday Foto Finish 9.05

This week our entry for Candid Carries Fx4 is this little number.  I took this photo a long time ago.  That's me with the very nice plush pants, Guillermo butt in air (probably floating an air biscuit) Bernardo passed out from the odor and the fruity drink my hubby was a chuggin'.  (a lot of our photos involve alcohol somewhere in the photos with the minkees.  I never know if I should post them.  Makes us look like heavy drinkers.)   I just love this pic and have yet to use it.  Thanks to Carrie, I now have a reason!  If you look closely you can see the piercings G-mo has from an earlier post.

Initially I wanted to do a photo of me and the boyz in matching hats, but I had to settle for this number.  I couldn't find Bernardo's hat to post today, so hopefully it will air next week.  The pic of me is rather funny.  Yes ladies and gents, next week will be a rare glimpse of the one the minkees call creator.  Come back to quell your curiosity.

Hide and Seek

With the extra long weekend, we decided that we needed to have some fun and play a few games.  We played pool for a while in the basement, and switched it up to some ping pong action later in the day.  We also played Jen and Brian in a fantastic game of poker, but I lost all my chips in the first two hands and threw a fit (no poo though, especially after last week)  Lastly, we decided to play hide and seek.  

For a little fun, lets play Eye-spy.  I spy two knit minkees (one of which is stinkee), a giraffe, 7 flying animals, 3 dogs, a skunk, a squirrel and a red nosed ape.  Good luck, they are all actually in there.

Now, lets hope Jen and Brian find us soon so we can play with them next.  Plus one of our favorite shows is on tonight, and we need to put some sauuuuuuccccceeeeee on it!!!!!

Laundry Day Awesomeness!!!

Guess what day yesterday was.  LAUNDRY DAY!!!!!

It was awesome.  Jen let us jump right in and play away.  We were there for what felt like hours.  I think she felt guilty because she didn't find us right away yesterday when we were playing hide and go seek.  Either way, we had a great time, especially since we jumped right in while everything was nice and warm.  Jen really rocks sometimes!  (Brian does too, but that was Jen's laundry so we had to give her props)

On a side note, we are looking for some new ideas for adventures.  It could be a place to visit or a random adventure to go on, or fun outfit you would like to see us in.  Whatever.  Drop us  a comment (or e-mail) and give us your ideas.  We aim to please.  Plus, we would like to venture outside of the apartment some time soon.  We love it here, but it can be boring at times.

Friday Foto Finish 8.29

Is it Friday already?!? I guess it means its time for Candid Carries Friday Foto Finish Fiesta. Here is my entry for the week.

I have been back to school for two full weeks now. So far, this is the best one my husband has come up with for the boyz to hang out in.

Bernardo is sitting in a bowl of beads, which look like little minkee turds when I took him out. Guillrmo was sitting in a bowl of cut outs I have to make magnets this weekend. A couple of them stuck to his butt, which cracked me up when I took him out of the bowl.

Thanks for visiting, come back soon. Be sure to vote on the poll on the upper left sidebar.

So, that happened

Jen and Brian were a.o.k. with the grooming aspect of our history lesson as well as how we determined the dominate male (which somehow turned out to be Bernardo?!?  Weird).  But there was quite the issue with the poop flinging.

You see...  Bernardo and I had an argument, and decided to try to resolve our issues with some poo flinging.  It just landed us in the corner thinking about 'our actions'.  Jen actually made us sit in the corner for 10 minutes.  Do you know how much time that is for a tiny minkee like me?!?!  It was torture!  We have learned our lesson.  No more poo flinging from us.  I guess we should leave some of our Simian heritage behind us.

When Jen is away

Now that Jen is gone all day, and Brian is taking online classes it is up to us to make our own fun.

Today, we decided to study our minkee heritage.  We got out a few books on Simian Behavior and tonight we plan on giving a presentation about all of the minkee characteristics we learned about.  We now have a good grasp on the proper ways of grooming, how to determine the dominate male, what 'our kind' does when we become angry, etc.  I hope Jen and Brian are prepared for the show!  We think it is going to be a hit.  Check back tomorrow to see how it went.

Iron Chef Marathon!!!!

OMG!!!!! Last night we watched a 4 episodes of Iron Chef. It was awesome. In order to watch appropriately, Bernardo and I dressed up the part. I was the saucier, do you like my ladle and chef hat?

Bernardo played the role of the sous chef. He wore the measuring cup on his head for quick measure and was ready on hand with the whisk.

What we really wanted to do was act as the Iron Chefs themselves, but we are too young (and tiny) to use the knives. Plus, we didn't want to cut ourselves and have to be repaired. We wouldn't be able to document our adventures in the meantime, which would suck!

It was an awesome night, and would like to leave you with this, our favorite phrase, "PUT SOME SAUCE ON IT!!!!!"

Ooohhh, Comfy!

If you didn't get to check out the photo of Jen's classroom comfy classroom library from Friday's Foto Fiesta on Aren't you glad your not me, here it is.  There were a lot of great comments that people left about the reading area in the classroom.

What you didn't know is the we broke the pillows in.  Guillermo seasoned one with his bodacious butt bombs, while I just spent the day chillin' like a villin.  We are a bit too scared to go to school this year, so we will have to hang at the apartment while Jen is at work.  We don't want one of the students to walk off with us.

We initially wanted to invite some lady minkees to come and join us on the comfy pillows, but Jen said that minkees like us are only male.  Jen also explained that minkees like us have to be knit and she only has patterns for boys.  Oh well, we like hanging out together.  We're best minkee buds.  Plus we do not, I repeat do not, want any cooties!

Friday Foto Finish 8.22

It's that time of the week again dear friends, Candid Carries Friday Foto Fiesta Finish.  I hope you are participating this week as well.

This little number was inspired by a recent trip to the MacDonalds with a group of teachers.  Mmmmm, those golden arches!  One got a Happy Meal so her son could have the little toy surprise inside.  I found the toy creepy and odd.  So, I had to do something with one.  On my way home today I decided to stage this little photo.  

We have Bernardo, I mean Captain Coconaut, here protecting scared little Guillermo from the evil Princess Leah Bobblehead toy.  What a wuss.  I like the legs flailing out to the sides of the box.  And if you haven't tried their apple dippers yet, you should.  Very yummy.
