Well yesterday concluded mine and Cameron's 6 day babysitting marathon of my brother's kids. We watched his three little kids Andrew 6, Ethan 3, and Claire 1. He is off in Paris for 9 days and I offered to watch his kids for most of it. I have had TONS of experience watching my nieces and nephews for long periods of time, but never 6 days. It wasn't necessarilly hard, just exhausting. Everyone keeps saying "Oh, is this going to make you re-think having kids anytime soon?" And the answer is no it won't stop us from having kids. It's fine when you get them one at a time and they are yours from the beginning versus getting 3 at once and they aren't yours. It was quite the experience and I happy to be done :)
On Monday night we met up with my sister-in-laws sisters so they could take the kids from us. We met them right by the new IKEA they built in Draper and since we were already there we decided to go in. It was like heaven for me, especially after watching the kids for 6 days. It was so cool! I love IKEA! I had been to the one in Seattle a few times so I am super excited to have one only 20 minutes away!! I think Cameron doesn't ever want to go back because we spent 3 hours there (I easily could have and would have spent more time there but they closed). It has only been open a week so it was pretty crazy, plus it was Memorial Day so everyone in the entire state of Utah was there, lol. But I can't wait to go back :)

i love IKEA!!! its such an awesome store. Logan got my a G.C. there for Mothers day. cant wait to go. wish it was only 20 minutes for me!
Your amazing watching 3 kids for 6 days like that. And you are so right you only have one at a time and that makes things a whole lot easier. I love Ikea also I hear there is one out in Maryland near where we are moving. Yeah!!! I won't have to drive two hours to get there.
