Meet The Guys

The Guys were founded in early 2003 by Blueberry Bear, Ooh-Aah-Aah the chimp and Blanky. They are Jake's best stuffed friends. They accompany him to bed each and every night, and Jake enjoys conversing with them.

The Guys went through a period of strong growth about a year ago. Every stuffed animal Jake received was a new Guy. Even cheesy beanbag animals from birthday party gift bags became Guys (sorry, Kitten and Jaguar). When the posse peaked at about 11 Guys, and it was too difficult to locate all of them before bed ("Where the **** is Scamp?!), we announced to Jake that he needed to initiate cutbacks. Hence, many Guys were laid off...in fact we are back to cofounders Blueberry, O.A.A. and Blanky.

Jake loves his Guys. One morning he woke up and groggily asked me, "Mom, is it okay if I go on the computer? I told Blueberry I would show him the Batman game." So he set Blueberry on the chair and proceeded to teach him about baterangs. There are many nights when I hear Jake whispering to the guys about what they will do the following day. Grace has been touched by The Guys as well. In fact, she now asks for Guys when she goes to bed. She then throws them on their heads, but I'm sure she will come around.


Blanky is dressed as Spiderman, Blueberry as a pirate, Ooh-Aah-Aah as a cowboy. I have no idea who that strange fellow is.

P.S. This picture was way too cute not to include...Grace from the pool today:

How can you resist that face?

Ha! I love kids imaginations. That's hilarious that he calls them "the guys." He seems like such a cute kid. Robyn tells me he is so polite, and is such a good little boy. I want to see Grace again. She looks so cute. I bet she has the funniest personality. I only saw her once when Sarah, or Robyn were babysitting that one time and we all hung-out. She was a lot younger. I think I was pregnant then. Next time I come up to R.S.M. we'll have to all go to the pool or something.

Thanks for all the good clothes. She seriously wears them all the time, if you haven't noticed yet. I'll try and remind myself to take pictures of her when she is wearing them. I think she is wearing some of your clothes in a few of the pictures on my blog. I'm excited for the new Fall wardrobe. Thanks!!!! You have saved me soooo much money. Sorry, really long post.

Christie, I didn't say anything to Melinda about a Fall wardrobe! No pressure! Ha!!! Grace looks so beautiful in that picture. She looks so grown up and pretty. She should be a swimsuit model. Watch out Heidi-I'm pregnant with a sea mammal's baby-Klum.

Also, who made up these names? Oh oh ahah was it? I was also wondering what those four asteriks were. Did your hand slip when you were typing? Mmmmm.... Who is talking in that phrase? I think I know who. Mwahhaha(is that how you spell it?)

Robyn said...

Christie, I just left a pretty comical response on Melinda's blog. I would like you to read it. It is about one of my favorite movies. I don't need to tell you the title. You already know. And if you don't, then shame on you.

Melinda said...

Robyn,

Christie mentioned it to me on my blog, I didnt' just assume she was giving me clothes. I won't ever just expect clothes Christie, I hope you know that.

Christie said...

I know that! Wait til you see the Levi's! Cute! And the houndstooth dress! And the black Mary Janes! Yippee!

I love this post! I remember having "some guys", and I seem to remember that you did too! The picture of Jake is a riot, and the one of Grace is really cute (who would think that behind that cute face lurks "Queen Demando and Destructo"!).

After speaking with you, it has become clear that since Robyn can't seem to get her blog together, we will just have to do it for her. Give me a call and I will bring bottles of wine and we will go through all photos that you may have of her (EVEN THE BLACKMAIL SORT). After the first bottle of wine is gone and we pop the cork on the second, we will then begin to blog in her name - just let me know the date and time!

Oh my gosh-you are hysterical Melinda K.! I will get around to starting a blog one of these days. I told Christie I wanted to remain a mystery to people, but she reminded me that leaving full page comments on other people's blogs isn't very mysterious. Ha! Also, I don't think Christie has many blackmail photos of me unless Sarah comes forth with some from high school of me and "Steven" or something. Long story....Christie can fill you in on his true identity. I'll let you know as soon as I start one. Oh, "Hi Christie!"

Robyn said...

Oh my gosh, if I see that picture of Jake with the glasses and "The Guyz" one more time, I think I am going to scream....out of joy! But will you please update your blog?
