Day 13

IKEA!
We spent the day at IKEA getting as much furniture and "stuff" as would possibly fit in our sable (with 2 adults and 2 kids) and a Ford F250 with the extended cab. We couldn't get everything (after all we sold everything so we were trying to replace a 2 bedroom apartment worth of furniture, kitchen supplies, storage, and other miscellaneous items...all at one time!). We had never before been to IKEA and boy was it crazy. Thanks Dad and Mom Hutchison sooooooo much for patiently going on that very long and tedeous journey with us as we spent hours to decide on all of the various items we would purchase. Thank you also for helping us out with some of the many purchases we made.

We were able to get a ton of things:
a bookcase
computer desk
floor lamp
another bookcase
coffee table
(2) side tables
silverware
plastic kids bowls
platic kids plates
eating set for Ellie
dish towels
tea towels
(2) desk lamps
floor mat for under the office chair
office chair
kids hangers
(2) hanging toy storage tubes
(4) storage containers on wheels
(2) small dresser type things
drying rack for dishes
tupperware set
3 mixing bowls with lids
large drinnking glasses
small drinking glasses
storage bowls
colander
utensil set of 3 (for teflon pans)
utensil set of 4
large decorative basket (I am a sucker for those)
cutting sheets
measuring cups
measuring spoons
ice cube trays (2)

And that is all that I can remember, but our total was around $500.


Update: we returned to IKEA 3 days later and just about completed furnishing our new home
