This weekly blog meme called "Silly Monkey Stories" takes place on Tuesdays. I came up with this as a way for bloggers to celebrate the children in their lives. It is a great way to give your readers a glimpse into your life and to meet new bloggers from all around the world (plus it gives you something to blog about). My post containing Mr. Linky will auto post at 12:01am EST every Tuesday.
Definition of "A Silly Monkey Story":
a) Your post can be about any child in your life, not just your own (i.e. a grandchild, a niece/nephew, a neighbor, a student, etc . . . )
b) Your post can be a photo with a caption or blurb, a photo with a story, or simply a story without a photo.
c) Your post should be about something this child (age 0-17) did that made you smile, laugh, shake your head, or roll your eyes. You get the idea, right? It can be about something recent or something that happened in the past.
How to Play:
1) Make a "Silly Monkey Story" post on your blog on Tuesday, include one of the graphics below in your blog (and one on your sidebar if you wish), and link back to this page in your blog post.
2) Leave a comment on my "Silly Monkey Story" post.
3) Sign in on Mr. Linky with the URL to your "Silly Monkey Story" post (not the URL to your main blog page).
4) Go visit the participants' blogs. Read and comment about all their silly little monkeys.

i'm TOTALLY in on this one. i already had something set up for tuesday that ties right in!
i'll be here to sign mr. linky ...
I will think about it.
You are SO clever! I love this idea :) I will try and remember to post on Tuesday...I just need to make sure my brain doesn't turn to mush. Which it does, often :(
This sounds like a fun meme. If my ancient grandma brain can just remember the things these kids get up to. We're always laughing or shaking our heads at them.
thanks for ur invite. at the moment i have no idea, let see in next tuesday.... I will come to here, ok. have a nice weekend
I've already got the graphic up so I guess that means I'm doing it!!
Make sure to check out the new Thursday one I'm doing! (Hopefully starting this week... but we'll see!)
Sounds like a fun weekly meme!
How do you make the picture clickable? is there a code for it?
Liza: I will add an html code for both buttons today. Hopefully I'll be able to do it when I sit down to eat lunch.
Thanks for the suggestion!!
I've been trying to do this lately anyway -- it's just a matter of remember to save my stories for Tuesday!
Can it be more than one cute story, and does it matter if the photo is not directly related to the story (just a photo of the child)?
Michelle: The photo can just be a portrait of the child. It is great to have a face to go with the story. And you most certainly can post more than one story.
Thanks for the invite. I will think about it. I don't have any children but I do have several in my life but not all the time so it maybe difficult to contribute every week. Unless I play with my doggies :)
thanks! this is interesting, i'll try to join ;)
I would surely love to join this tuesday meme!!!! Thanks for inviting me!! Have a nice weekend!
Hmmm... I'm not sure I can come up with something EVERY Tuesday... but I'll play when I can!
Thanks! I'll def try to remember.
Thank you for the invitation.I will try to do the meme on Tuesday and hope that I won't forget it...
Take care!
I will write something during my lunch break, I promise!
May have to do this, but they each have their own... will that be a problem??
my blog is all about the silliness of my kids ... so, i'd definitely join this ... oohhh can't wait for tuesday now ...
