the walking {sock} monkey (with extra witch-baby action)

 

she's a bit non-plussed

For a little reference, if you are not familiar, this sock monkey is based on the sculpture Walking Man by Alberto Giacometti. Mister was afraid one might think this was a parody of our President but I knew it was Giacometti right away. SWOON!

there's a new {sock} monkey in town

the new sock monkey: walking monkey

christmas sock monkey 2010

After all the gifties were opened, mr. a-go-go said he picked up a mysterious box that was left on our doorstep.  with much mystery and amusement, I joyfully opened said box.

We had no idea where it had come from, but it seemed to have traveled quite far.

It had very explicit instructions. I hoped there were no critters inside.

There was a puzzle that had to be solved first.

and after I had said the words out loud many, many times, I got it, and I knew. I knew!

Did you?
