Simple pleasures

We went to IKEA yesterday to pick up a few things to make the house look shiny for potential buyers.  They have a play area there that Lauren likes (and that always makes Claire upset because it feels like we’re abandoning Lauren).  Sam is finally tall enough to go in there, but for some reason didn’t want to and chose to go round the store with us instead.

When we’d finished shopping we stayed for cheap hotdogs and an ice cream.  There are few things more satisfying than watching pre-schoolers eating a huge ice cream, at least once you’ve learned not to worry about the follow-up laundry.
