This morning we woke up after our first full night's sleep in our new location. It was a bit chilly - it's only 28'F outside the camper, and while it was 62'F inside when we first awoke, it dropped down to 58'F due to the fact that we can't run the heater and the coffee pot at the same time. We will have to resolve this issue!
Life in our Little House in the Big World has thus far been rather lovely. We rolled in here at about 3pm on St. Patrick's Day, and the first thing Munchie did when she stepped outside was bolt around giggling and exploring the various leaves and twigs and dirt clods. We pulled out her umbrella stroller and got the dogs on their leashes, and we went for a family walk. Munchie spent half the time just giggling at the two waddle-butts waggling in front of her (if I was at that height, I'd probably laugh at dog butts, too).
After our walk, Munchie and I ran to do some quick shopping for Wilderheart, which included a celebratory 4-pack of Guinness, since after all the chaos of getting here, we wouldn't be able to go out and celebrate. I bought some groceries and some Baby Chow and we went back to the camper.
Munchie and her Papa cooked chicken together on our mini-grill outside:
...while I quickly vacuumed inside and cooked some Mexican rice. Then we all sat down together for our meal. Okay, W.H. and I sat down - Munchie squirmed and wriggled and wandered. We need to get her portable booster high-chair back so we can keep working on those table manners!
Munchie asking for "more"
And our favorite - her turtle face:
Then I told W.H. to take the night off - he'd been running so hard for the past few days that I thought he deserved a rest. Munchie went to bed around 8pm (I think the fresh air really helped!) and W.H. and I sat at the table and watched two episodes of Battlestar Galactica before turning in for the night.
Certainly not the most wild St. Patrick's Day we've ever shared, but definitely one of the best!
