It's Official!!!

Thursday night was our first official night in the MoHo.
Ice cream floats and games till 2am.

Playing Phase 10

Tia worrying that she was gonna get her butt kicked in Phase 10.
Let me put your minds at ease, she didn't get her butt kicked... I did. It was something like 80 to 275.
Depressing, I know.

Rummikub
Skip-Bo

If one was eavesdropping outside of the MoHo Thursday night they would have heard the saying "You're fowlin' me up!" a time or two. 
You see, we got to talking about our Grandpa Fowers. He loved to play games, especially Rummikub and Skip-Bo. We'd play for HOURS when Grandma and Grandpa would drive their trailer down to Arizona to visit us. Whenever your move messed up Grandpa's next move he'd say "You're fowlin' me up!"
He got so frustrated if you left the table and didn't get back before your next turn or if you weren't paying attention. Tia and I laughed about the things he would have said if we'd had cell phones back then... because we would've undoubtedly been texting or playing on Facebook, like we were at the time, and he would have had a fit!!

We decided to call it a night around 2am. I slept on the couch and Tia slept on the table that converts to a bed since we hadn't bought the padding for the bunk yet.
Lets just say we bought padding Friday morning because our hips hurt.... yeah, our hips hurt. Like old folks. So now we have memory foam in the bunk and yes, both of us sleep up there. It's pretty spacious, alright?
Apparently we picked one of the colder nights in a while to move into the  MoHo and everyone kept telling us we would freeeeeze. But have no fear, Space Heater is here!!!


The space heater kept us nice and toasty while we played games and we even turned it off before retiring to our uncomfy beds and still stayed warm.

In retrospect, an ice cream float probably wasn't our best choice... we should have gone with something like hot cocoa, but who turns down an ice cream float? I mean really. 

All in all it was a perfect first night in the MoHo and I couldn't have imagined us spending it any other way.
