almost there

Can’t beat a little road trip weekend, especially if it includes a visit to Nana and Ikea ;) It was still chilly, but after a nice warm meal at Nana’s where Aiden sat like a big boy in a regular chair (just peeking his little eyes over the table), we headed outside to see the birdies. Although, the cars, caaaars, caaaaaaaars were much, much more interesting. There was a pretty purple crocus popping up, but Aiden didn’t want to sniff it and miss the passing caaars. Next time we visit Nana’s the bird feeder will be flipped and then you know that spring has really sprung. We’re almost there.

After a nice visit, we headed down the road to Ikea. J generally thinks we spend hundreds of dollars and get nothing, but this time we spent less and he even remarked that it seemed like we really got some good stuff. The had all these “last chance” sales and we hopped on them. Poor J had to wait in a ridiculous line to get the absolute last pair of legs for this new book table for Aiden’s room, since they were the last legs east of the Mississippi. The legs will complete a new low bookshelf for Aiden's room to store his growing massive collection of books. Aiden and I beebopped around the store and he made friends with little kids that shared puppets, shovels, and rocking chairs with him. Then we all enjoyed some meatballs…mmm, yum. We also came home with another nice table and chairs for our patio area. I’m really looking forward to some grilling this year. We're almost there.
