Taunting

Xander thinks that he can get away with anything because of his crazy pants. He thinks they distract others from what he's doing. But we're SO onto him.
Here, he is seen petting our kitty, Nantucket. He had intentions of strapping a saddle on her and tearing around the house at top speed. Luckily his efforts were thwarted by Adam after he caught Xander on film stroking Nanny. We refuse to tolerate shenanigans, darn it!

Wailings from Below

We're watching TV last night when we hear this, "Weeeeer, wah wah, vvvvvvv!"
Adam and I look at each other and got up to investigate. The noise was obviously coming from our basement. So we cautiously descended the stairs, not knowing what we would find. We rounded the corner to see this:Johnny was practicing the guitar. And doing a fine job, we might say. We did have to scold him, though, for not warning us. Plus, he had littered the basement floor with Cheerwine cans and Ho Ho wrappers. Kids.

Thin Ice

First Mr. Peebles and now this. The monkeys are really pushing their limits these days. As you can see from my expression, I was very displeased when the monkeys snatched the new camera yet again and photographed me sewing a dress together. After snapping this photo, there was a great deal of giggling and the pitter-patter of little monkey paws clambering out the door and back to their lair. In my fury after being caught unawares, I shouted after them, "I know where you live!" and shook my fist in ire. It was an empty threat, I admit. But a girl's got to keep some control over her unruly sock monkeys!

Bold Moves

After completing her shift as night watch-monkey, Summer ventured out in the room to do a little exploring. She discovered a lovely closet which she noted would make an excellent hiding space for the next game of Monkey-Hide-n-Seek. For now, though, she is using it to hold secret tea parties, which are actually meetings. WHAT the monkeys meet about is beyond me, but perhaps their secrets will be revealed someday...

Home Sweet Monkey Home

Thanks to recent adoptions (thank YOU all!), the monkeys were able to afford a new digital camera. Their old one was, oh, about 10 years old - one of the first digi-cameras to exist. We called it dino-cam. Anyway, they decided to test out their new gadget and show you their happy and humble abode (when not traveling the world, as sock monkeys are apt to do). Here you see their residence. It is comfortable, although rather densely populated. Monkeys need homes, people! Summer is perched atop as night watch-woman. They keep some pretty tight security up there - Adam and I have been requested to show ID more times than we'd like to mention. Good thing we went to City Hall yesterday to acquire our shiny new MO Drivers' Licenses. The monkeys were very suspicious of our soon-to-expire Illinois licenses. Picky, picky!
