Had a crazy weekend. I decided (nesting!) that the boys room needed rearranging so we could fit in the new bub; so we spent all day Sunday working out how to fit in their current furniture, plus a cot! Got it sorted and decided that we could get rid of their toy cupboard and get a taller narrower one to make it work better. Off to Ikea, along with the rest of Sydney it seemed. We waited in traffic for ages, then squashed through the shop only to discover that they were having a massive sale - hence the gizillions of people!!! But found the perfect cupboard, sent Brennan home to get the roof racks while the boys played in the kids room. He came back an hour later and we packed the stuff on the car and home again.
By now it was nearly dinner time, we were all tired and not thinking properly. Should have put it away for another day, but nope - in stubbornness we tried to put the thing together. Completely misinterpreted the instructions and the whole thing collapsed in a pile!!
Poor engineer husband was mortified! I made him walk away, we had dinner, then put all the bits away (under the boys bunks) for next weekend. Luckily nothing major broke, so we can fix it - and as Brennan says, now that he knows the weak points he can strengthen the design and make it better than ever!
Back to work today. Oh, and yes, he did notice my hair (just noticed my tummy first). "Goodness you've got big, oh and your hair looks cool"
tee hee
