ikea!

hello, sweet ikea!

so, we finally made it to ikea. it was a spur of the moment decision to just bite the bullet on sunday after church. we left birmingham around 11 and we were back home by 6:30. a lot of time spent in the car, but it worked out ok as cayden decided to sleep at least an hour there and then an hour on the way back.

the actual time spent at ikea was down right crazy. i mean, last time we went was in the middle of the week. so i was ready for the quiet ikea that i know and love. instead?

MAD. HOUSE.

for real. i suppose the holiday weekend had something to do with it. or maybe it's just like that on the weekends. we've vowed to never go back on a holiday weekend for sure. and most likely never on a weekend again. yikes. just trying to cross the aisles was a death sentence. ok, maybe not a death sentence, but you definitely were going to get run over by someone.

and don't even get me started at the rudeness of people on the elevators while trying to leave. this red-head almost threw the red-headed card and almost lost her temper on someone. it was about to get ugly. we'll just leave it at that.

little dude was happy in his stroller for most of the time. whew!

either way, we made it out of there with most of the things on our list. and only one extra thing that wasn't on the list. (a roll of coloring paper for the nosies that want to know – and only $5!) most of the other things we went for you'll see soon enough around here. let's just say that i no longer have to sew on the floor! a win-win situation all around!
