The snow in our back yard is so high that it is almost covering the kids’ playhouse. A bit of the room is sticking out and part of some of the windows and the door can be seen as well. You can get down into the playhouse as well. I was in there today shoveling out some of it and finding all of the balls that we had in the yard under all that snow. Andrew has decided that rather than play inside the house he will climb up on top of the house and slide down. He gets bolder each time he does it and I think that he’s going to stand up and fall off the thing. Granted he isn’t too far from the ground but he might try this when the snow is quite frozen and hard. That would be a problem.
went to IKEA today with Andrew and Uncle Mike. That was after Dad came over to help us get Andrew’s new mattress. We got a bed frame from Allison’s grandparents and it has been in the garage for a while. It was time for Andrew to get his own bed. We’ve had the IKEA crib/toddler bed for the past 7 years and it has served us well for both kids. Now it is time for retirement.
After a nice breakfast with Dad at Morin’s we went to Bob’s Discount Furniture where I had purchased a mattress and foundation for Andrew the day before. I was planning on getting the mattress from Big Lots but changed to Bob’s. ad remembered me saying Big Lots so he went there and I went to Bob’s. We got it worked out in plenty of time because the place didn’t open till 10am.
We got the mattress and foundation into the house to air out. Then Andrew and I caught up with Uncle Mike and drove to IKEA. I had to return something. It was a fairly short trip but we did have lunch there and walked a little bit through the downstairs. I bought Andrew some under the bed storage, only to find out later that there is such a low clearance on this bed that these under the bed storage items won’t fit, under the bed. We also bought some alphabet cookies (I was really expecting more umlauts.)
