Our first visit to Ikea

Yesterday we finally made our first visit to Ikea! We started with lunch. Rhett and I both got the Swedish Meatballs. It was pretty good. Lilly got the Mac and Cheese with Veggies. She ate about two bites of carrot.

Then we started our journey through the showroom. We really liked some of the kitchens. I really loved some of the organization solutions in the kitchen cupboards! We are going to have to go back when we have a new house to remodel and decorate! Lilly told me, probably five times, "me want my mac-ee-roni cheese." Some day she will learn to eat her food when it is in front of her, instead of waiting 20 minutes then deciding she is hungry. The kid's section at the end was the most fun! We found some bowls, cups, plates, and utensils for Lilly. The bowls, cups, and plates all came in a set of 6 for $1.99 each! The utensils are a set of 18 for $1.99. We found the computers to sign up for the Ikea Family Card, so we signed up and got a coupon for a free frozen yogurt, yay! Then we did one more quick walk through and found a stool for $14.99. Lilly can use it to reach our sink better to wash her hands and brush her teeth. Rhett and I can use it to reach the top shelves of our kitchen cabinets.

After our second walk through we went downstairs and looked through the Market Hall. By this point, Lilly was bored to sleep. :-) We got a new pot to re-pot my Christmas Cactus, for $2.99 and a Watering Can, for $.99! We checked ourselves out, got our free frozen yogurt cone, and loaded up the car. Lilly woke up and scarfed down most of "i ceam cone." She did not wait 20 minutes to decide she wanted to eat that! If only getting her to eat real food was so easy! After the cone was long gone and we were almost home Lilly said, "Thanks, Daddy fo sharing i ceam cone wit me." Awww!



One more Lillyism for the day - After we got home I was cleaning up, putting away Lilly's bag she takes when she goes to stay with someone for the day or night. She saw me and thought I was packing it and asked, "who me going to huh?" LOL
