A trip to IKEA

Today Christine and I loaded up the kids and headed to the new IKEA in town. It opened a few weeks ago, and we've both been wanting to get over there. We walked around for a little while and then got some lunch. It's so nice that Eli can sit in restaurant high chairs now-I have a place to put him while I eat! He and Olivia played with their toys while Christine and I ate.

I took these pictures with my phone-Christine told me that you can take a picture with your phone and then send it to your e-mail-just type in your e-mail address instead of a cell phone number. I was pretty excited! Sometimes I don't have my camera, so now I know I can take pictures with my phone and still use them :) The kids were so good. Christine and I both carried them in the baby bjorn which took a toll on our backs, but the kids liked it.

IKEA is massive-we walked around for about 2 hours just skimming over things. I bought a few things-mostly for Eli. There was a cute cloth book for him, and a couple of toys. I got him a little puppet-he loves puppets! I've been wanting to get him one. The one I got him is pretty simple-the mouth doesn't move or anything. He played with it while we walked around, so I had to buy it...I also got a new toilet bowl brush and thing for the kitchen.

It was very fun, and quite tiring. The kids were out by the time we left the parking lot. Eli is still asleep, and hopefully will be for a bit longer. I've been sitting here updating blogs since we got home, and I probably should get something else done...or I could take a nap...
