My parents got us a stroller for our birthdays! Bamberina’s first birthday was last month and the Man o’ the House’s birthday is on Sunday and mine is next Sunday. My parents combined them all together and added a little extra and got us an AWESOME jogging stroller! We walk (almost) every day for several miles and our poor little Graco Metrolite (which I loved btw) was really getting trashed. This new stroller just kills the mud and the grass and every other surface we walk on. It’s great. Thanks Mom and Dad!

We also got a new fridge yesterday! We ordered it last Friday night and have been waiting excitedly for the past four days. It’s a little bit nicer version of what we have and it’s got 20% more space which is going to be wonderful for once a month cooking! I’m in love already!

And yes, pictures of both are forthcoming!

I was feeding the hungry monkey when the man of the house woke up this morning. “Let’s go for a walk!” says he. “Okay!” says me and off we went.

Okay, so it wasn’t quite that simple. First I had to change the hungry monkey’s diaper and then I had to get dressed. Then we went down to the car and got the little monkey’s stroller and fleece suit. Finally we were ready to leave. The man of the house was happy because we got out the door before 6. Yes, as in AM. LOL.

It was a beautiful morning! We got a lot of rain late last week and this weekend so the air was so fresh and clean and refreshing. It was chilly, but not insanely freezing. Not that it ever freezes where I live…

We took our usual route (although we haven’t walked for several days due to the rain and the little Monkey being up a lot at nights) and we wished we had brought our camera. The man of the house had his iPhone and we got a few pictures with that. Maybe I should ask him really nicely to e-mail them to me.

As we were heading home, the Man of the House says that we should stop at the Coffee Shop on the way home. Why asks me, we are having bacon and eggs at home. “Oh” says he, “I want you to come walking again so I’ll engage in bribery.” Sweet thinks me, this week is getting off to a great start! I chose the Cream Cheese Crumble Danish. I would take a picture of that too, but it’s already being digested by stomach acid.

We continued on our walk, while stuffing our faces with our respective treats when the man of the house suggests that we should stop and get some of my favorite juice! Sweeeeeeeeet. I’m definitely in for walking tomorrow.

Oh, the joys of being spoiled rotten.
