First, I can't believe I forgot Zahra's number one favorite thing - dancing! Often it's to music playing in our house, but it's also commonly to music in her head. I took this great picture of a private performance she was giving to the basement mirror :)
Second: Zahra's favorite mac&cheese is not Trader Joe's (as previously posted) but Ikea's! I remembered this while at Ikea today. Yes, we go to Ikea all.the.time. Sometimes to buy something but usually just to play and eat. May sound weird, but remember we live in a place where there are many days that you cannot go outside, so we have all kinds of random indoor activities. Usually those days occur in the winter, but our recent heat wave has provided for them in the summer has well.
And yes, I managed to capture a look of total ecstatic joy on her face while eating her most favorite meal.
And even Penelope loves it, too! Can you see why we eat at Ikea all the time?
Cute! Can't wait to see you all.
ReplyDeleteGosh, we have never tried Ikea! I better check it out on the next 100 degree day!!
ReplyDeleteTracy, it's the best! one the kids are potty trained you can LEAVE them in a supervised play area. Quinn loves it there. The girls like playing in the pretend bedrooms and just walking around. And everyone loves their food which is also cheap. We can spend hours there.
ReplyDeleteAnna told me today that she's never been to Ikea, and that she wants to go when we're up next week. She acted like I had deprived her from some major life experience.
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you seen that Ikea with the married couple. It starts out with her in her dream bedroom, and then it's him in another room with a big sandwich and she says whose room is that? And the announcer says "it's your husband's dream bedroom" and then they compromise. It's pretty cute.
