Date with IKEA

Today was kind of rainy and a bit cool in Chicago, so we loaded up the car for an all day outing to the biggest indoor entertainment center around. We're speaking of IKEA, of course. Sylvia trooped along with Darcie and Chris for 3 hours of shopping and a forty-five minute drive each way. She did great. We essentially replaced 75% of the lights in our condo in the one trip.

This is the Calypso ceiling light which we installed in the entryway.

We also replaced the hallway light and the dinning room (area) light. Sylvia didn't come away empty handed. She got a new lamp for her book case...

... as well as a sneak peak at a few of her birthday presents.

(As a side note, the name of this post is a reference to a song by the band Pavement, one of Sylvia's favorites.)
