Yesterday Kevin and I went to Ikea in Schaumburg to get furniture for the basement. We really wanted a sectional for down there but were worried about getting it down the stairs. With Ikea you put it together so we thought it would be perfect. Well we found one we liked and a lot of other things as well. After we checked out and got our couch we headed to the car to start loading. We had a total of 7 boxes to try and fit in Kevin's car. After 20 minutes of frustration we thought we were going to have to start returning items. We then started taking the couch pieces out of 3 boxes and began stuffing the car with the cushions. Somehow after another 25 minutes we got it all packed in. I wish I would have taken pictures of the process, but we were just so determined the whole time to make it work. We definitely had a great time even in the whole packing of the car process, there was a lot of laughing and teamwork :) On our way home we stopped to meet our friends Jerry and Kelly's baby, Leo. He was so sweet and I loved holding an itty bitty baby!
It was a wonderful day and I am so thankful for my mom and John for watching Rose for us. It was so nice to get away for the day and be able to spend it together.
Now let the putting things together begin!
