steppin' out saturday {ikea + pizza}

{linking up with harper's happenings for "steppin' out saturday"}

are you enjoying how parker is doing the same arm motion as the bear on his shirt as much as i am?  yes, take a closer look & see that his arms match the little bear's perfectly.  my baby already understands irony.  i told you he's advanced.

we took a little family field trip to ikea today.  it was one of those "oh hey, let's drive an hour to ikea to buy those one things."  so we do.  then we get there & we're all "oh wait, we don't really feel like spending money on those one things.  let's buy some random toys for parker instead."  so we did.

it was worth it.


you might think sam is texting in that picture.  he's not.  he's watching ncaa basketball tournament games on his phone.  i have a feeling his heart wasn't into our ikea trip today.  that's ok.  he was into the pizza that came next.


and what was parker's favorite part?  he was really into the giant red straw he got to play with at dinner.  he thought it was hilarious to have air blown on him through the straw & to have water dropped into his mouth out of it.  but to bite it at the same time as dad?  that was hysterical.  it's the simple things in life, i guess.


and then i snapped this quick sunset shot as we drove down main street.  so that was cool.

linking up with mommy & me monday at "really are you serious."

know what else is cool? voting for us! we love ya for it.

  3. We did the same thing yesterday! Drove an hour to Ikea for who knows what, and ended up buying toys for Kale! It's funny how buying toys doesn't count as spending money.

  6. WHY were you at ikea and I didn't know about it??? I could have gotten there lickity split. (wait, did i just say 'lickity split'). Orr.... maybe you didn't want me to crash your family time.

  12. We used to spend hours in Ikea. It is just up the road from us, but we haven't ventured there with Will yet. If I remind my husband that they have baby toys and Swedish meatballs, I am sure I could get him to go. Looks like a fun trip! The straw shots are super cute!!
