My three circus monkeys
My hubbie, the entertainer in the family, has turned our three children into his own sci-fi circus monkeys. He’s managed to turn our sons, Tyler (6) and Trent (3), into his own Jedi fighters. Trent goes around the house flashing his light saber humming to the theme song of Star Wars, this is the kid who can’t even recite the alphabets yet.
As for our 19 month-old Sophia? She has learned the best trick (from the biggest circus monkey of all…her Dad) that her mother, a grown woman, cannot do no matter how hard she’s tried. And Sophia knows that too because she taunts me folks. She goes around the house doing this (nice runny nose too).
Here she is again, my circus monkey, trying to show us that she can touch her head to the floor without her hands. How’s that for talent?! And the smile is just so infectious, isn’t it?!
“Do you want me to get that coconut off of that palm tree? It’s going to take a while though.” Asked Trent.
Call Cirque du Soleil folks, this is our ticket out to the “golden handcuffs”, aka working for “the man”.
Well, there you have it. We’re available for kids’ birthdays, Bar Mitzvah, or cotillions. Who needs magicians and clowns anyway? Do you have your own “circus monkeys” in your house? And that’s including your hubbie. No offense hubbies.

betty: Your kids are way cute!! Love the photos!!
I think you are onto something here. All you need are costumes, some bad music, and three rings.
You’ll never have to buy a stepladder with those great climbers around!
Great picts!
You should get your husband an accordian and give the kids tin cups.
Better circus monkeys than sloths;)
But a little noisier!
CUTE! Your kids are so dang cute I can’t stand it. Connor, my 5-year-old, likes to try and call the wall in the hallway just like “Spiderman”. OY. I am trying to convince him that dirty footprints all the way up the wall is a very bad idea but he just won’t believe me. *sigh*
Ha ha!!! Your kiddos are too funny.
I could never figure out how to do that tongue thingy either. You have some talented kids there, lol!!
My nephew climbs the wall, too. How do they do that? It’s like they’re Spiderman or something! Sophia is a cutie!
As I read your blog I was serenaded by strains the of the Empirial March banging out on the piano downstairs. The Force is everywhere.
I love the pics! They are adorable! I remember climbing the walls like that when I was a kid. Prob gave my mom heart failure.
Oh, now that’s TOO cute!
Such talented little ones you have there! Let me know what your hourly rate is for birthday parties……….ha ha
That’s cute! I’m sure my lil boy will be doing just the same.
Wow. great climbers. I remember climbing the hall in my parents’ apartment in NY. But we had to use 2 walls. The 1 wall climbing is truely magnificent.
I think the tongue-curling thing is genetic. You can either do that, or roll your Rs. I can roll my Rs…can you???
Oh, and although you already know this, your kids are adorable.
I can’t roll my tougue but my huband and daughter can. However I can touch my nose with my tongue and they can’t!
I think it is definitly genetic!
I can do that too.. But my son can actually roll his tongue around.. Quite freakish!
I love all the photos!! They are all too cute! I was cracking up at your boys climbing the wall!! That’s too funny!
What adorable monkeys–er, children!!!
As far as circus talents go, Karate Kid can belly dance (make his stomach roll over and over) and Drama Queen can flip her tongue over (just like her Daddy).
Your kids are so cute– I have my own circus monkeys too. My oldest daughter used to have a four post bed — until we had to take th post down because they were swinging from them. She used to have a bunkbed– until we had to take it apart because they were practicing their gymnastics on it. We used to have a big exercise ball– until she practiced walking on it and doing all sorts on unheard of kid things.
As for my husband—— I don’t have enough therapy sessions to go into his circus routine– let’s just say he has a lot of scars on his hands and should never be allowed in the kitchen.
They are amazing!!
What talent! Sophia is too cute!!!! You know that’s genetics, some people just can’t do that trick. You’re not kidding Trent and Tyler are monkeys, how do they do that?
That’s funny, and I had just uploaded a picture of Olivia hanging upside down on the monkey bars. She’s a real little monkey too. Wish you lived next door and they could “monkey” around together! Sophia reminds me of Olivia, she goes around the house making raspberries! TTTHHHHH!
Your kids are amazing !! They are soooo cute ! Nice pictures !
