A Morning in the Life of the Monkies...

1- BabyMonkey tried to clean the toilet and filled it full of Kleenexes.

2- Ellie picked and started watching a movie she wasn't supposed to.

3- All monkies had a tea party.....the tea party ended with BabyMonkey's angry high pitched screaming. Big brother had poured the teapot full of water on her head....for reasons that still havn't been discovered.

4-The Gabester then has to write lines as he chose to lie about pouring water on her head.
When he's done, he comes to me, holds up his hand, makes it go limp, points to it and says with much drama:" Ooooooohhhhhhh Mommy.....my hand is burned out from writing sooooooooooo many lines!!!!!" 8 lines people......remember when life was that simple?!?!?! I would like to write lines too, they will say: "Dear PapaMonkey, I've taken a vacation to a warm exotic beach. No idea when I shall return. Enjoy your time with our beautiful, amazing, smart, talented, energtic and fun children! Love, MamaMonkey

5- Ellie tries to cut and chop up an almond roll.....along with the countertop..... with a very very very sharp knife.

6- BabyMonkey thinks it's funny to stand right outside the bathroom door when Big Brother does his business and pretends like she's a puppy. She barks and barks and barks and barks and barks.......interrupting the Gabester's important business and making him mad. No, we really don't need a yappy dog at our house...we already have 3 monkies who are so talented that make it seem as though we already one.

7- BabyMonkey tries to give her stuffed kitty a bath with 2 big cups of water on the rocking chair.....yes...the rocking chair that was just cleaned professionaly.

8- The Gabester argues with me that the picture of the PRUNE is actually a CLAM.......because people, come on: when you see the word PRUNE....if you sound it out, it says CLAM!!!!! right??

9- Ellie flies thru all her schoolwork, does 10 extra pages, and yells: "I'm on a roll!!!!!!!" Gabe....the child who hates schoolwork and is still on page 1 of his work.....stomps his foot, pouts and says, "Why can't I be on a roll too???" Good question kiddo....good question.....

10- BabyMonkey who has been put on a strict diet with no dairy, wheat, or gluten.....while I'm upstairs doing laundry.... she sneaks in fridge and grabs herself a bowl of cottage cheese and scarfs it down before I can get there. :(  I think she's on a mission......{how many gray hairs can I give MamaMonkey before she turns 30?? }

11- I now have positions open for a monkey nanny for each child. Supermom on vacation today.....The pay will be fantastical as well as amazing benefits!!!
