Full filled Saturday

We got up early this morning (and let me tell you it wasn't easy) and made it to IKEA as they opened! LOVE that place! We walked around writing down our numbers and enjoyed looking around (although not as much as I would have liked to). We stopped for breakfast ... YUMMMMM!!!!!! Scrambled eggs and crapes ... Bart had the same with sausage. So yummy! Then we continued downstairs! I resisted some buys, and didn't resist others! :) Have some things we needed but didn't get because we needed to measure (which means we get to go back!). We pulled all our things (love that ... we always have fun with that part) and then checked out. After we paid we took are FULL shopping cart and FULL flat cart thingy and to the car we went. For whatever reason we always get weird looks ... they look at the car, then our carts, then back at the car ... like ya right!!! But Bart's car has a bottomless trunk!!!! Everything fit perfectly as always! After packing the car, we went back inside to grab some lunch ... I had vegetarian quiche and broccoli and man was it good!!!! Bart had Swedish meatballs and potatoes. We then came home ... exhausted! We pretty much went straight to bed for a much needed nap! Felt SO good too ... I didn't want to get up! I woke up at sometime and between Bart and I was Socs, head on pillow and all covered up. Bart would snore, then Socs would ... too bad they can't synchronize there snoring! After our nap we went to the townhouse and unloaded everything ... not too bad either .... I got it out of the trunk and handed it through the basement window to Bart (since it's all going down there). After getting everything unloaded we headed over to Bart's dad's because today was his birthday!
I got a little kimono note pad at Target to make his birthday card with. Each page had something ... I used my Stampin' Up! Kenji stamps which added to the Asian flair. At the end of the card it said ... from (next page) sticker of a boy and a dog (next page) Bart and Socrates (next page) sticker of a girl (next page) Abby .... and .... (next page) picture of a sleeping baby (next page) a baby girl .... (next page) to be born sometime in 2005 (next page) in China! (next page) Happy Birthday from our growing family.
I think it took awhile for it to sink in ... but he seemed happy and excited about it. At first I wasn't sure, but I think it just wasn't registering. I think it was a neat way to tell him though! While we were there he got a phone call from his niece and he told her the news ... so word is spreading!!! Now if November 2005 would just get here!!!!!!!

At IKEA I kept looking at the baby things ... I can't wait to go and start buying that stuff!!! Now that will be a fun IKEA trip (not that others aren't, but that moreso)

We went back to the townhouse to pick up some things I packed (like soap) that we've run out of and needed. While we were there we put together the step stool and started a drawer thingy. (It needed nailing so we didn't want to do it since it was late). So now we're home ... and ready for bed! LONG day, but we got a lot of things done! Tomorrow we plan to get up at a decent time and get a good bit done. Hopefully we will be able to follow through with that!

Night .............
