Fast forward to Christmas Eve at the bank. Laura's head teller, Deb, brought in a gigantic wrapped present for her, and guess what was inside? It's the same sock monkey that Laura had found for Michelle on ebay! Apparently he was at our local Walmart as well. How Laura missed this at Walmart we'll never know. She normally has a very good radar for sock monkeys. Laura was giddy over having a third four foot sock monkey to add to her couch collection. She brought him home and proudly showed Mark, who didn't have much of a reaction. Hmm...
The reason why he didn't share in her excitement was because he also got her the same monkey at Walmart. He rode his "hog" (recumbent tricycle) all the way to the store to buy it for her. What a sight that must have been with the giant sock monkey in his storage basket! Laura said she is keeping them both because they are twins and can't be separated. The first twin "born" on Christmas Eve is Jarvis, and the second twin "born" on Christmas Day is Simon. His full name is Simon Key... SiMON KEY... get it? Mark said the other twin should have a mon name too, but the only thing Laura could think of was Damon which isn't a good monkey name in her opinion.
The day after Christmas, Michelle's ebay monkey arrived. Here he is before I liberated him from the plastic bag.
The twins have now become triplets! All of them are exactly one day apart. Here's the happy threesome posing on the couch.
Here are the silly boys mimicking the See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Speak No Evil monkeys.
The brothers meet Gunther.
How many giant sock monkeys does it take to fill up a couch? The answer is five. From left to right: Scarlet, Jarvis, Simon, Michelle's monk (name to be determined) and Gunther.

Hi, Big Monkey!
Wow! We are so impressed at all the really big monkeys at your house! I told Mom we should get some of those giant economy size ones here, but she says if we did, we would have no place to sit.
Guess I will just have to enjoy watching what these big guys do on your blog...
Love, Noah
Hi Noah,
Our couches are gradually being taken over by sock monkeys. Soon the humans won't have anywhere to sit...LOL! The twins have been relocated to a bedroom upstairs for the time being. We're going to need an addition to our house for all the new family members.
I love those big sock monkey's... I recently obtain one myself.. my aunt and uncle gave me one. He is in the pictures I am going to post.
Dear SoCk mONkEy QuEeN,
They are awesome monks, for sure! I'll check your blog for updates.
Do you happen to have any of the TAGS from the sock monkeys from WalMart? I saw one, and didn't pick it up .. when I went back, it was gone (and his 20 brothers! UGH!)
I've been searching and searching.... think the tag said MAXX.
Dear JVC Scout Mom,
Yes, I do have the tag, and you are correct. His name is Maxx. There's a web site listed www.maxxthesockmonkey.com, but it's under construction. I tried to google Maxx, but I didn't find any giant sock monkeys for sale. There are some smaller Maxx monkeys available though. Good luck with your search!
were you get the giant sock monkeys because i been looking for months
These boys came from Walmart, but I haven't seen them since the holidays. You might want to try ebay because I see them occasionally up for bid.
