During the fishing trip, Marilyn, Gordon and I went to Ikea. I had never been to Ikea before, and to say I was kind of overwhelmed is an understatement. I still can't believe how huge the store is! It was really fun, though, and we got all sorts of fun stuff. The best is that the boys' new downstairs room is now organized, and without my having to purchase a huge new dresser! YAY! Anyway, I had to post about Ikea because if you haven't been there, you really should go-- fun, fun, fun!
In addition to Ikea, Marilyn and I also did some more shopping after lunch-- some new clothes for my ever-growing second grader, a few killer adorable things for the baby, and the cutest material for the quilt Marilyn is making. It's going to be so darling-- I'll definitely take some pictures to share!
Back at home, life has just been busy, but mostly fun. Lately Gordon has been really into "reading" this ridiculous Oriental Trading Company catalog we received in the mail. He carries it around with him everywhere, and we've had to tape it up more than a couple of times. For a while, he was referring to it as "my Halloween Book", but in the past couple of days, this has shortened to "my Hallo". "Mom, where's my Hallo?" Maybe he's a marketing guru in the making?

Last week I went to Ikea in Pheonix for the first time-- you're right it is way fun!
I found your design blog linked from one of my friends...I too LOVE to digital scrapbook! Your stuff is too dang cute!
Wasn't that just the best weekend? I've never tasted better trout!! (That's due to Tom's excellent techniques, of course!) BTW, I loved seeing Tom on the news! I recorded it for posterity.
I've heard all about that IKEA place, but never been. Sounds like you guys found the hot spot for the fish. Glad you had fun.
Ikea IS huge! You could totally get lost in there. It was really fun though. I think it is an obsessive compulsive person's dream store!
My first (and so far last) trip to Ikea ended abruptly after Kaylee was lost and I hit full-blown panic mode tearing through the store searching frantically while my husband was looking casually around and found her sitting on a bed crying with like ten workers sitting trying to talk to her. It was awful! One of those bad dreams where nobody seems to understand your panic!
The "Hallo" thing is so funny, because just today David pulled a catalog out of our mailbox, sat down on the couch, and began "reading" his new "magazine." We sure love Gordon and Tom and the cute stories your share about them. Glad you had such a fun weekend.
Ikea rocks! I was sooooo overwhelmed my first time too! I got lost, and I had no idea what I was doing. It's like you are suppose to know the ins and outs of that place right off the bat! I am glad I never bring any money because I would buy the whole place! There's too many things I want.
I am not a huge fan of fish but I am glad you guys had fun and enjoyed it! Thomas has mad skills!
Gordo is so cute and funny! I love that kid!
That is so funny that gord loves the oriental trading catalog. Tyler did the same thing a couple years ago with the "Birthday Express" catalog. He even wanted to read it for his bedtime story.
