Day 197 - Helping Dad

Just had to snap this picture this afternoon of Dale and Henry building our new wall unit together. Yes, Henry was quite interested in the drill and the set of drill bits that made a good sound when rattled in their case, and he did like hiding behind the cupboards that were yet to be hung for a bit of peek-a-boo! Our kitchen / family room is finally coming together with the pantry almost to the painting stage today and our wall unit that we bought in Ikea last month, finally being unpacked!

Day 177 - Back to Ikea

Well part of this weekend in Sydney was to be spent at Ikea, finalising our wall unit purchase. Thankfully this wasn't as awful as the last time we came here on the long weekend. The crowds were slightly less thick and we were able to fairly easily work out what we needed and go and pick all 37 components in the warehouse!

Day 163 - Ikea Here We Come

I really used to like shopping at Ikea when it was in Blacktown, but today we went to the new (well not really new) store at Homebush Bay. Now I love shopping, but this was unbelievable. A wet long weekend, everyone had decided to go shopping and the Rhodes Shopping Centre carpark was just the start. Dale was quite excited when we first arrived (can you tell from the picture?) but excitement soon turned to exhaustion. Now as it was all too hard to decide on which wall unit components to get, we will have to go back again with our prepared list in a few weeks!
