Mecca

Took our annual trip to Mecca today. Ikea. Its in Tempe which is about a three hour drive for us. We make an event out of our shopping I tell you what!

The boy needed a new bed. He was sleeping on an old futon and his sister's boxspring mattress, well she wanted her mattress back so he needed something else. He was sleeping with the futon on the floor for awhile. Not a happy boy.

So we got him a frame and a weird boxspring/mattress thing, plus some purple sheets. He is in heaven now.

Of course the girl wanted me to basically outfit her new house. Which I didn't do. She has enough crap already, she just wants to coordinate it all. On my dime. I did get her a new dresser. I sold her old one and it was a piece of crap anyway. Plus some new curtains, and a duvet cover, and some sheets....

Somehow, all I ended up getting was a coffee table for the kids game room and some magazine holders, cardboard magazine holders too.

I think next time I will go alone.
