Monkey Diaries-Wednesday and Thursday

It's been a while since we have had the Monkey Diaries. I was waiting until I got something worthy of blogging about. The first one, from yesterday, is a picture of my chair in the living room, with a note stating that Art was taking the monkey to "take your gorilla to work day". So, we were minus the monkey for the day, but I can't say I missed him greatly. The second picture is from today. Apparently the monkey wanted to help water the garden today. He sadly wasn't very much help, and was sent back in the house to dry off.

Butterflies in the garden

I have two Monarch butterflies that have been frequenting my garden. I snapped this picture of one of them visiting my zinnias.

Friday Monkey Diaries

Ok, I haven't been blogging about the monkey adventures every day. They have to pass the funny test for me to put it on. These last two fit in to that category. The first one is the monkey sitting outside and with a book and a drink, like Art loves to do. The second one is the monkey hiding in the china cabinet because we had a bat land on our screen door last night. Art has a huge aversion to bats, and was fairly upset at the spot this bat picked to rest. He of course re-directed his fear onto the monkey.

A new challange

Casey tried his hand at a new toy when he was at our house on Monday. I got him a Mr. Potato Head over the weekend. Here is a picture of him working intently to place all the parts in the right place. A classic toy is still fun.

Wendesday Monkey diaries

Apparently the monkey was having sympathy illness. He wasn't feeling well today because Casey was under the weather yesterday. He was much better when I got up and went back to his place on the couch.

Tuesday Monkey diaries

I guess the monkey wanted to go with me when I went shopping today. He was too small for the shopping cart though, so he had to stay home. So sorry monkey.

Family Day with Matt's unit

We spent a couple of hours at a park in Kentucky on Saturday with Matt and his unit. It was a cooler day, but still fun. Casey had a great time swinging and sliding at the playground. He had a ride on his dad and grandpa as well, and played with everyone. Morgan was happy just to sit on laps and play with her toys.
