A Day in the Life

Last week, Chris and I visited Build-a-Bear. If you've never been there, I recommend a visit. Now, you're probably thinking, "Isn't that for kids?" Yes. And no. I can't tell you how much fun we both had picking out our own critters, filling them up just the way we wanted, giving them a heart, fluffing them in the fluff tub and picking out their clothes. Well, I picked out clothes. Chris's bear is au naturel.

So, I birthed a monkey named Max. Maxwell Porkchop, to be exact. And Chris created Rufus.

I've decided to try my hand at some photojournalism, and give you...

A Day in the Life of Max


Max chillin' in his crib (He made me write that.)


Max and his "naked friend," Rufus. They share the same birthday, but not the same "suit."


How does he know where to stop?




I just wish he'd clean out the drain afterwards!


Checking his morning email.


After work, Max gets busy doing what monkeys do.


Max jammin' with the skins. (I swear he makes me write this stuff.)


Max enjoys a good book in the afternoon. In this case, he's learning how to get along with a his two feline roommates.




Max wasn't happy about this shot at all. But he forgave me.


A monkey's gotta grab some rays once a while.


After a full day of monkey business, Max is off to dream land.
