Summer Weekend

Ours included:
a trip to the local splash pad (Livs was loving it and totally fearless, the big kids just wanted to play at the playground next door and Connor wanted nothing to do with water but loved wandering around and trying to join every picnic he found)

Cafe Rio dinner and Cold Stone dessert

and a trip to IKEA

Livs lounged happily in the shopping cart while Connor found a random, perfectly tiny maintenance broom and wandered the store with it. He also clung to a paper measuring tape all night (see below).



We ended up with some new curtains from IKEA (which I had to hem myself--yikes! Surprisingly, they turned out really well and are almost perfectly even). We also found a new set of kitchen chairs--our current ones were hand-me-downs from my parents and even then they were past their prime. The new chairs are from DownEast--hooray for our Utah State tax return!

We are in search of some curtains for our main room- maybe we should head to Ikea (it's up in the twin cities though so kind of a day trip). I love the ones you found though. And are those also the new chairs pictured?

Connor and his tiny broom, what a kid.

PS- Livs is way brave. Max is too scared to go into splash pads. He just stands at the edge.

The curtains are so cute. And I am happy for you to have new chairs.

Why is my little guy always on the go? That video is just how life is with him...so busy.
