What a day

Spring break is this week.  Yay.  It's great, except that we're already going stir-crazy.  So yesterday we decided to take a little trip.  The intention was for the kids to have fun, but in reality I think Aaron and I had more fun than they did.

We went to
Which was an adventure all of its own. I think IKEA is one of my new favorite places. So much fun.  The kids each found something fun.  Parks got this:

The leaf canopy thing, not the bed.  It may just require a new color scheme in his room. Hmmm. Maddie got these:
Really, that's what she wanted.  Crazy, but cheap at least.  I got this (among other things):
And Aaron got this:

Not from IKEA.  But he'll still take it.  This isn't his exact truck, but very similar.  He's been saving up for several years to be able to buy one and yesterday was the day to pull the trigger.  I'm still undecided about the whole thing.  It's his vehicle and I told him it was his decision.  I guess as long as he doesn't do this:


Or this:

to it, then I'm totally fine with him having a truck.  I'm sure it will come in handy.  And he seems to really love it. 

So really, IKEA was for me, the truck was for Aaron.  But we did still manage to fit some fun stuff in for the kids.  Like this:




And this:



Can you believe we fit that all into the space of 10 hours?  Me neither.  Today I'm ready for a nap.

Yayyyy Ikea! Seriously, it's like Disneyland. Happiest place and all that. Also, I saw the new truck in your driveway and I like it!! A lot. Hooray for Aaron.
Thirdly wherever all those pictures of your kids are is cute. I want to know where that is.

Congrats Aaron! Looks like you guys had a busy fun filled day. I would be exhausted too if I did all that in one day Megan!

Jen- the first set of pictures is from the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Pointe. The second set is from the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy.

Looks like a blast!! Tell Aaron if he needs somebody to try out his truck for him I will be happy to do it. I would also like to try out your pot (the kind that you cook in). And Monica wants to try the leaf canopy.

Hey dust, come over any time and try out anything. Well, except the pot, pot. We don't have any of that. Plus it's not very good for you. :p
