These are so cool. Thanks Muffy for posting them. I am like Texasmom I wish I would have had these a few years back. With all the eat healthy stuff these days I know a lot of schools don't like sweet treats for the kids parties.  One place I worked at didn't even like anything home made to be brought to class. 

You're welcome greeneyes.  I just thought there were sweet!      I know what you mean about healthy stuff these days. I've cut back a lot of sugar and sweets in my diet.   I went to the theater last night and before the performance I had a large chocolate chip cookie with a glass of red wine and between the glass of wine  and all the sugar in the cookie, I find myself floating on air to my seat for the performance.       Wheeee!!    

Floating like a bee?

Swampped at work and haven't been able to get here and check on all the wonderful Monkeys but vi hope each of you have a wonderful Thangsgiving! I give thanks for just waking each day with a happy, healthy family a roof over my head and a good job. It's also nice to know that there really are such kind and caring people as those who gather here to care about so many!

Klaas that is so cute. I wanted to wish all the Monkeys a Happy Thanksgiving with card from my photo Bucket. But for what ever reason I can't get it to do anything in fact it freezes every time I try and get on it. So I am using Klaas' Turkey to Wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. That your day is filled with lots of laughter and Joy. It seems so many monkeys have a hard a very difficult year.

GE - Photobucket recently updated to a new format/software and it could be it's causing you problems.  Not sure what the fix is but I'd bet that's why you couldn't get in.  Looks entirely different now.

I know they have re done them selves again. I think I figured out what's going on. I just have to figure how to fix it. I have no tech skills so maybe when daughter gets here today I will have her go in and re-set my cookie thingy. I think that's what it is. It loads and then a pop up comes up to precede and that's it. It wont do any thing after that. So my security needs adjusting or something. If that makes any sense. Like I have said before I have no tech skills.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to all American Monkeys!!

This Canadian will be partaking in another Turkey dinner today.  Hubby and I have again been invited to share with youngest son's Dutch American inlaws who reside just across the line.  Son and DIL who both teach in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia will be picking us up shortly.  Classes ended a few minutes ago.

How cute Klaas

[crazybabyborg]

Hey Klaas! You're getting some Harry and David's Moose Munch for the little critter, right? YUM!!!    

[crazybabyborg]

Oh, if you're not familiar with this Christmas website and you have any little ones in your family, you have got to watch this! You can make a personalized video from Santa for them! I'll share the one I made for Waylon. You enter name, age, nice, naughty and nice, or naughty, behavior being worked on, and all kinds of things. You can even enter photos. This one is the free video, but I'm thinking about the next level.... Click the link!

Thanks for the link CBB...I really like it.

[crazybabyborg]

You're welcome, labubske! Isn't that neat? Waylon LOVED it, and was talking to Santa the whole time! LOL! When he got to the gift, he got wide-eyed and said, "Is that mine"? You can choose what kind of toy they're looking for (I put "something you build"), and what best describes the child (I put "full of energy") so those things were personalized in the video too. Glad you liked it!

Mine was doing the same.  I even tried going back to the old Photobucket and that did not work.  What finally worked was going to Internet Explorer, for some reason Firefox was not compatible with it.

Good luck!
