Goodbye Kindle - hello Ikea....

I had gotten some money back from taxes. I had thought about buying myself a Kindle with it but on Thursday evening that idea was thrown out the window. Ikea got the money instead. Kristian, Leah and I went to Ikea to get some things for her room. She needed shelves and things for storage. (We live small, so we are always trying to find better ways to store stuff.)

So we filled our trolley with the things we needed. We only forgot one thing - HOW ON EARTH WOULD WE GET IT ALL INTO OUR SMALL CAR!! What were we thinking!! We should have loaned a trailer.......

 Kristian was amazing. How he got everything fitted in I will never know! There was hardly room for Leah or me.

 It gave us such a laugh! We just prayed we wouldn´t meet any police on the way home! (and we didn´t)

Here´s a challenge...You have heard of "find Wally" well how about trying to "find Laura" in the picture above!

 On Friday when I came home from work the house looked like a bomb had exploded!!(and we were having guests for dinner!!) Ikea boxes and things from Leah´s room were everywhere. 


Andrew had been a good big brother. While we had been at work and school, he had put together a lot of the things from Ikea. Leah was totally delighted. This meant Kristian could start drilling and hanging shelves etc when he got home.  

Leah got in on the fun of building the last few items from Ikea.

 The room is starting to come together.

Today Kristian is away go-karting. Sara is working at the go-kart track and Leah, Andrew and I are going to get this house organised and sorted out. 


Now that Leah´s room has got a lick of paint, I am itching to do something with our wee room. I have a few crazy ideas....I wonder if Kristian will go along with them!!


(Oh by the way, Andrew didn´t get the job. It was at Kristian´s work and his boss found out that they had a policy that families can´t work together in the same department...too bad, working for those 3 months could have earned him enough money to get his driving license.)
