My good friend Sharon knows I love sock monkeys. And she recently surprised me with a new little guy! I named him Peabody. He's quite adorable! He even came with a little booklet for recording Important Information.
Peabody enjoyed the Christmas decorations, especially the small village under the tree. I guess the tiny North Pole buildings are a bit more his size. I left him there to explore the village, but when I went back to fetch him...
...I spotted him riding a donkey! Even though Peabody offered to carry some of the Christmas gifts, you can see that Santa was not too pleased to have a rider.
To distract Peabody from any further trouble, I showed him the snow outside the window. He seemed intrigued, so I set him to work counting snowflakes and went on about my business.
But when I went back to check on him, I found him swinging from the lamp! He did NOT want to come down, but I finally coaxed him with a bit of chocolate. (The truth is that I had to eat several chocolates from the box before I found one that he liked! Turns out that Peabody is a very picky eater!)Now that Peabody is in the house, I'm glad the Christmas decorations have been put away. Clearly, I'm going to have to provide him with a bit closer supervision!
LOL So sorry you had to suffer through all those chocolates to find one he liked. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell he's just the life of the party, isn't he?!?!? I thought for sure you had gotten another cat, and was wondering how Lily & Tinsel were going to take it!
ReplyDeleteI can see that Peabody likes his new home. That's too bad that you had to eat several pieces of chocolate to find one that he liked. I look forward to more Peabody Adventures in the future.
ReplyDeleteDid you introduce him to the sock monkey ornament you got last year before you put all the Christmas decorations away?
ReplyDeleteI love Sock Monkeys too! He's cute!
