Today was IKEA day!
Where else can you get all of this for $2.15? (Kids eat free on Tuesdays)
Brendan impressed us all with his tasting of meatballs, gravy, and fries.
It is Trevor’s favorite, plus the 1/2 lingonberry juice, 1/2 Sierra Mist drink we call “pop juice” (my favorite too)
Brendan dipped a finger in ranch dressing and licked it. Then he proceeded to make sure that each and every finger on both hands got a thick dip. (did not eat it, bummer!)
Trevor taught Brendan the art of “clinging on”
And riding in the basket to spin and go fast
Only one thing left to do at IKEA. Frozen yogurt!
When it was time to go, I tried to throw away what was left of Brendan’s cone and he had a total fit! He furiously signed “ice cream” and stomped and cried. I tried to take it from his hand just to put him in the car and he did the same thing. He held it until that cone was licked purely clean!
This evening we put the whole family in the car to run to Walgreens to pick up meds. Brendan got his “replacement Buzz” in the mail today. His Buzz was looking a bit yucky and I found a perfect sealed-in-package new one on ebay. Brendan was thrilled. Two Buzzes!
He was singing to them
Nooooooooooo!!! 5:15PM is the worst time to sleep. Too late to nap, too early to dump into bed.
Sure enough, that 7 minute power nap before dinner revved him up and at 9:15pm he was still playing stalling games about bedtime and tossing and turning. No nap today! He must have been over over tired!
Cute talking today: Brendan walks around saying, “Pa pa pa pa pa!!” and Trevor walks up to him and says, “No! No Brendan! No Pa Pa Pa! I told you no more pretzels!!”
Crazy boys!
Good morning from the East Coast! Next time you go to IKEA, call me!! All of you are having way too much fun!! Terrific blog, loved each and picture!! Sending many prayers, hugs and love! 🙂
Hmmmmmm……
IKEA, to “Pop Juice”,and meatballs, and fries.”,
to Fingers of dressing, “Clingons,” “Yogurt”, Oh My !,
To Walgreeens for meds, and Buzz Lightyear arrives,
Brendan is happy, now Buzz has “two” lives,
Trevor naps early and stays up too late,
You certainly have, had “enough on your plate”.
🙂 😉 😉 🙂
I’ve heard it through the grape vine, that “they” plan on airing a re-run of *that show* – – – – soon 😮 😮 😉 🙂
Stay strong, be well.
I love all of the pictures on this blog. It’s so wonderful to see Brendan doing all of Trevor’s IKEA routine. I don’t blame him for fighting for his frozen yogurt! It’s good.
I am sitting with Great-Grandma wanting so much to show her these pictures. This blog and all of these adorable, silly, funny pictures brought her more joy than you know. I hope that somehow future Brendan and Trevor will know how much she loves them and has loved watching them grow and change day by day.
Love,
Gramma xxxx
