Trip to IKEA.

Today we had our "exciting" trip to IKEA. :)

We bought most of what we wanted, and a few other things that we knew we could use. And then of course a few extra things for Leia that she didn't need but that we wanted.. :D

We had a fun day, though, I think. :)
Leia road for the first time in a shopping cart, and sat for the first time in a highchair (barnstol).

She LOVED every minute through the store. She was looking at everything and was very happy. :)


After leaving Åmål.



She fell asleep for awhile on the way to Karlstad.



First time in a shopping cart. :)



She held onto the front and looked around everywhere. And she even held some of my papers for me for awhile. Doesn't she look older than 4½ months?!?!



Such a cutie. :)



After IKEA we went to COOP to try to buy the... protective things for the... radiators. And we were picking out sizes, and we realized they only had 1 of the size we needed.. we needed 2 of them.. :/ :( So we couldn't get the stuff. That was really annoying, but we didn't know how expensive it all is.. :/ Have to take out a small loan to buy all the stuff.. :D
But we'll have to try to get that some other time.. :/ Hopefully they'll have all the pieces then....

After that we went to one of the baby stores in Karlstad. A baby store / toy store. And we bought some onesies and PJs that are the next size up. And some refills for our diaper garbage can. Two rattles that are adorable. Hmm... and two little books.. We also looked at high chairs (barnstol) to see what we are interested in buying. We think we will go with the family owned place in Säffle and buy one from them. They always give good prices on things. And we looked at car seats (bilbarnstol) to see what we like, going to have to get a new one soon. We are thinking of just getting a used one from Blocket.se. It is so far to drive anywhere to get one, it would be easiest to buy one from someone here in town.


Talking up a storm after leaving Karlstad.



One of her many silly faces.






The flowers looking very pretty.



And finally some baskets for my yarn. :)))



Fredrik has an icehockey game to watch around 21.00 and then he is going to put together the few things that needs assembling.

Mormor and Morfar bought their tickets to come visit us this Summer! :) They will get here on June 17th, just in time for Midsummer. And they will go home on July 28th.

After this it is a little bit of studying for me. I read some computer stuff in the car today. I'll take the next computer test on Thursday.

June 17th is a good...my birthday! Leia looks like Fredrik is some of those pictures. I love IKEA's website, Terry is lucky there isn't a store around here. I'm on a mission now...to find the closest IKEA.

If we ever lived in the US, we would have to live near an IKEA. :) After you check-out, they have a place to buy some Swedish foods, and we would have to buy the caviar to keep Fredrik happy. :) (Eaten on toast for breakfast.) YUCK!!

In the first picture she looks like Fredrik. She looks like you in the others. The pictures are so sweet. Wish we could have been with you all, but soon:) The baskets look good.
