Skeat -- your sock monkey is sew cute!! But where is that boy's pants??? :roll: :roll:

Mousie 05-24-2009 10:23 AM

oh Sarg, what a long tail you have...and arms and legs, lol...your very cute. How do you sit up so straight like that?
I have a monkey...no name yet, don't think my monkey can sit up though. Are monkeys like dogs? can't teach an old monkey, new tricks?
Maybe if I make him some pants, with a board in the butt, he'll have a good sit down place to keep him upright.
Yeah, but next thing ya know, he'll be holding his banana and fall over.
hmmm, got to think on this one, maybe you have velcro on your butt?
ouch! :wink:

k3n 05-24-2009 11:59 AM

Skeat he is really cute! Mine has a shocking pink bum BTW - does yours have a red bum? Tee hee!

Skeat 05-24-2009 04:06 PM

Who thought this guy needed britches?!!:)He has a sleepy hat to sleep in and to hide his cauliflower ears...and, red bum.....yep...it's his bum tag!LOL And he is sitting up straight...for he is stuffed full!LOL He is not a bendy monkey...LOL
quilt'n crazy.....we want to see your monkey! Skeat

Mousie 05-24-2009 07:50 PM

OMGoodness, Patti,...you got me crying...lolololololo!
was trying to figure out, how Sarg was sitting up, without falling over...didn't want him to get top heavy...no,...that's full busted...front heavy...oh, you know what I mean, lol...didn't want him to have a face full of his banana! lol! :lol: :lol: :lol:
(Patti, me thinks, one of us, might have a dirty mind :roll:)

Skeat! I said my monkey can't come out to play, nekkid!
How come yours and K's, can sit up without help? mine was a gift of sorts...came in a bunch of sewing stuff I was given.
Maybe that's why y'all's has pink and red bums, (bc they are sitting on them.)
Think mine is white. not sure. haven't looked at his bum in a while. something to look forward to.

Marcia 05-24-2009 08:42 PM

Belated Happy Birthday wishes to Hans.

What a great family outing you had. Great photos of your family monkeying around with the lemurs. Love them all--thanks so much for sharing.

k3n 05-24-2009 11:40 PM

My monkey sits up because, like Skeat's he's well stuffed! LOL

Could be why they have red bums:)Could be he's 'chicken bust'n'...which is rodeo ride on the chickens:) Just his size too...and, since he's so full of fluff and stuff...it don't hurt and he won't fall off...Get some clothes on that monkey...we want pictures! Even if he looks like Adam....good enough to be in the monkey bum club!LoL How's that song....'we are fammiillyy...' And, you can fix that bum to make it flushed....lipstick, koolaid, etc....:)Go for purple!LOL Skeat who wished all those monkeys would come out of the closets all over the world!LOL

Mousie 05-25-2009 05:41 AM

...wished all those monkeys would come out of the closet, LOL!!!

My hubby is so nutty! was trying to tell him, last night, about this post, and he busted out laughing, when I kept saying the word 'monkey'...so much, that he got me to laughing, and could hardly keep talking...is that a 'code' word, or something? you know me, lived such a sheltered life and all...K, don't believe it, lol...paint my monkeys, bum...hmmm, don't want a baboon, lol...he might need a little more stuffin though...ain't fed him in a while...gotta learn how to use camera, before he can do the big cheese ( :mrgreen: ). I just don't have the time or patience to read the book. Gonna see if my daughter will help me with it, wednesday. She's like her daddy, they just look something over, and go to it. Me? gotta read, but don't like to, read instructions, at all.
I'm weird. Straight A's in reading comprehension, english, spelling, science, home ec...ok, ok...sounds like bragging now...no, not bragging, reminiscing...have forgotten it all! lol! anywhoooo, point is...ironic, that I could do so well, in reading comprehension, 'back then', and now, hate detailed instructions! go figger! think it's the mental effect of the fibro!
(gotta blame it on somefin! :mrgreen: )

awww...my gbabies love rabbits!
These are so cute. One has her eye on my blue bunny, but Nana is afraid to give him to her, for fear of hurting others, so she may have to make a few, sometime.
Anna, has a bunny, from her 'auntie' Alana in Texas.
She has had 'Bun', for four years, now...and nana has had to sew his ear back before he lost it completely.
After I explained to her, how he almost became one-eared, she has not swung him by the ears, since.
well, if we is gonna be squirrells, lol...I got everybody here, beat...
I been, "Squirrelly", since i was 18 years old...
and not nuts, thank you very much :wink:
Tell hubby, he has nothing to worry about...
until we show up with the goodies for the coffee/cinnamon bun brunch!!! I'm bringing some carrots too...will lure them, lol...nice bunnies...here's a carrot for you, come to auntie Squirrelly. Your gonna love Florida :wink:

Ninnie 05-25-2009 05:21 PM

They are adorable sandpat, and Mortimer would love them, he thinks all stuffed animals belong to him.

k3n 05-25-2009 11:28 PM

Oh Patti they are really cute! But I need a closer look at how they're made so I can make some for the kids, so if you could just mail them to me, I'll take really good care of them and send them back, I promise! LOL

Skeat 05-26-2009 03:45 AM

sandpat..those are too cute!! But, I must admit...I know what they really are!!! They are monkeys incognito!! See, I am not easily fooled....:)
But, to be really, really sure, you need to tell dh to box them up and get them off in the mail to me....I'd have to check up close:)So cute! And so glad you showed them off to us!! And, I really had to laugh over dh worrying about where you were mailing them to.....(he-he-he)SKeat

Skeat 05-26-2009 03:47 AM

One has her eye on my blue bunny, but Nana is afraid to give him to her, for fear of hurting others}} Give her that bunny granny! Tell all the others that it is on a 'loan' for a bit:)That is it!!LOL You are little only once...:)Skeat

sandpat 05-26-2009 04:08 AM

:lol: :lol: DH doesn't have a really imaginative naming process and he said they are Fuzzy and Buzzy and NO...he WILL NOT mail them off for any kind of inspections! :lol: :lol: :lol: See....he has been watching me do 2 round robin groups and 3 different block swaps, so he thinks that I send off everything I do!...being a man and not understanding the process really well :roll: :shock:

k3n 05-26-2009 05:03 AM

OK which is Fuzzy and which is Buzzy? I'm guessing the one on the right is a girl.
(Should be called Fussy - like your DH - did no one ever tell him he should SHARE his toys! LOL)

sandpat 05-26-2009 09:50 AM
