Ikea on a Saturday, post-surgery, with two small children, while pregnant. Yeah, we might be nuts.

I love Ikea, but that love is best served by distance as far as my wallet is concerned.  Perhaps if I went often then I would be less tempted to pick up that extra $100 of merchandise I never intended on buying.  Maybe.  Yes, it's a good idea that the closest one is two hours away.

 

 David was a trooper and pushed himself around in that stylin' wheelchair.  We also scored a parking spot Right Next To The Doors.  Heaven was smiling down on us that day.  Both boys did exceptionally well, despite the fact that their eating and sleeping schedules were thrown off.

 I think Josh thought he had a pretty sweet set up with blankets, pillows and unlimited itouch playing.  As well as plenty of snacks and juice.

Yup, David did wheel that cart with his wheelchair through the throngs of other Ikea Saturday Worshipers.  My honey's got mad skillz.

At this point Ben was getting pretty darn tired, but still

managed a pretty cheesy "say cheese" face for the camera.

To celebrate a long day of shopping, we ate dinner at our favorite PDX eatery, The Waffle Window.  Ben had totally passed out by this time, but luck was with us again and we scored a parking spot right next to the window and were able to eat in the car.  Because it would have been sheer madness to try and wake a baby that had just spent the entire day awake shopping.  He did wake up for a brief visit with our friends to celebrate her birthday with a surprise party.  Wish we could have stayed longer, but we didn't want to push our luck with the boys.  They actually did really, really good and it makes me look forward to the couple of activities we have planned for them this summer.

I'm closer to having the nursery set up now, with my rocker, bedspread and some pillow forms in need of cute covers.  I ordered a ceramic owl lamp (more of a soft, extra large night light) that should arrive soon and I've been scouring Etsy for some pillow covers.  On my next weekend off I think I'm going to head to the paint store and get some sample colors for the walls.  Once those are painted, I'll see if I need to try my luck again at finding a rug.
