I was in Ikea recently. We were in the process of looking for a new
couch for my living room and there is a large furniture store next to
Ikea. It would have been such a waste to not at least check out Ikea
too, right? The DH and DS were DETERMINED to not let me buy anything. We
walked through the showroom fairly quickly and then proceeded to the
marketplace. The first thing I spotted was a package of pink straws. I
had to have those. Of course I needed them. The guys pretty much gave up
at that point.

(I also picked up some cute little shot glasses, some tea towels and
some candles. I would have done much more damage without the two guys.)
