IKEA paiva / IKEA day

Se siis toteutui sittenkin. :) Kyllapa on nyt hyva mieli. Olin aika rohkea kun kahden neidin kanssa sinne lahdin. Toisen sai "uhkailulla" kayttaytymaan kiltisti. Toisella meni hyvin melkein loppuun asti, jonka jalkeen ei sitten auttaneet rusinat, kultakalat, omppumehu, tutti eika mikaan muu laukussa ollut mahdollinen viihdyke.
Arvatkaapa kuinka nautinnollista on ajaa autoa tunnin verran kun takapenkkilaiset lukevat sulassa sovussa kirjoja, toinen hiljaisesti, toinen jotain omaa hopottaen. Taustalla soi Rajattoman lastenlaululevy. Minulla ajatukset lensivat asiasta toiseen ilman keskeytyksia. Aikasen monta asiaa sain kaytya lapi. Aika luksusta.
IKEAssa kaynti taalla on ehdottomasti tehtava arkipaivana ja niin etta olet siella kun putiikki aukeaa, muuten se on aina niin taynna ihmisia ettei siella kaynti ole mitenkaan mielekasta. Me olimmekin siella heti kymmenelta. Eipa ollut paljoa ihmisia. Suurin osa paikalla olleista ryntasi syomaan aamiaista. :) Hassua. Ylakerta saatiin kiertaa ihan kaikessa rauhassa. Eipa paljon ketaan muuta nakynyt. Oikeastaan vaan kaveltiin lapi ja katseltiin nakyiko mitaan mielenkiintoista. Alakerrassa sitten meni aikaa vahan enemman. Vaikka meilla oli missio niin mukaan tarttui muutamia juttuja mita ei listalla ollut. Niinhan se aina. Ja tietysti puolukkahilloa!

It came true after all. :) I feel very happy now. I was quite brave to go with two girls. The older one I was able to "threaten" to behave. The other one did pretty good until the last 15mins, after which nothing helped. Not raisins, not gold fish, not, apple juice, not dummy, absolutely nothing potential entertainment from my bag.
And guess how enjoyable it was to drive for about an hour when the back seat bunch were happily reading books. One quietly, one babbling incoherently. At the background was playing the Rajaton children's song CD. My thought flying from one thing to another without disruptions. I got quite a few things covered. Pretty much luxury in my opinion.
Going to IKEA here has to be done on a weekday and to get there when the place opens. Only then the experience can be in any way enjoyable. We timed our arrival at the opening and there were not that many people and most of those who were, headed straight to the restaurant to have breakfast. :) I thought that was funny. We were pretty much alone in the upstairs. We just walked through and had a look if there were anything interesting. Downstairs we were on a mission. But of course we accumulated things that were not on the list, as always. And I couldn't forget lingonberry jam!
