IKEA

 Hannah had her last arm appointment yesterday, she has healed well and is good to do everything except hang from the monkey bars!  Yay!  Anyway, her appointment was up in Palo Alto, and since I was up there I decided to kill two birds with one stone and also go to Ikea.  Speaking of BIRDS...  Another little guy came to visit us.  This time it was bigger than last time.

  It was blue and it was trying to fly out the window and we were freaking out.  Every time it started flapping it's wings and flying into the window we (the parents) started running away.  Needless to say, the kids were freaking out.  As Mike was dealing with it (I watched), I heard Joel in the other room crying, "Mama!  Come!"  I go to be with him only to find him hiding underneath the table.  Meanwhile, I could hear Hannah telling Mike to stop feeding Ava's puffs to the bird and to call the plumber.  Haha!  She thought the bird was going to kill Mike.  Yes, we are ridiculous.  However, Calvin was cool as a cucumber watching Mike, it even flew toward him and he didn't run.

  Back to IKEA.

  The storage we bought for the kids toys and craft stuff has some open shelving that I tried my best to keep looking nice, but I just can't do it any longer.  I needed doors to cover the mess up and as much as I didn't want to go there alone, it is better than going on a weekend.

  So, with some clear expectations laid out for the rambunctious children of mine, we journeyed into the maze of all mazes.  We held the line up a bit as we didn't know the system so well, this agitated the IKEA café regulars a bit I could tell, but the kids were not screaming or fighting so all was well.  And while it was not the lunch of champions for the kids, it did the job.  I must say that the veggie wrap that I got was not half bad, I would totally eat it again!

 

 

Have a great weekend!
