- Don't you just love Ikea?
All the sights that you can see?
All the cool displays?
(laughing)
(majestic playful music)
Good morning everyone.
Today I'm making breakfast,
while the kids play a game.
How are you this morning?
- I'm good.
It should be noted that for the kids
this is second breakfast,
because Jacob and Bailey actually made smoothies
for them, for Bailey, Jacob and Parker,
while we stayed in bed with the baby a little longer.
Look at this guy.
- [Christopher] Hey little guy.
You looking out the window?
Enjoying that view?
(crying)
Apparently not.
- He's anti-views.
- [Christopher] He doesn't like views.
- He doesn't like views.
- [Christopher] How's your smoothie this morning?
- Good.
- [Christopher] Yeah, it was a good recipe?
- Ooh, I know where that one is.
- [Christopher] They are wrapped up in this game,
I shouldn't interrupt.
Oh so close.
- Wait, I know one.
- [Christopher] Queen, ah, different queens, oh no.
(sweet mellow music)
- [Jessica] Look what Duncan can do you guys.
He wants to show you.
- [Bailey] Oh good boy.
- He's lifting his head up bigger.
(crying)
- [Jessica] Oh is he getting tired?
- [Jacob] I'll hold him.
- Today has been another one of those cleaning
slash organizing days.
The baby's asleep upstairs.
(lullaby playing)
The other kids are watching a movie.
- Jacob is at 200 dollars in fidget spinner money
from his donation bags
that he has accumulated during this move of ours.
- Basically anytime that they fill up a trash bag,
like a big trash bag full of donation stuff,
they get 10 dollars worth of a fidget spinner.
- They get a fidget spinner that is worth
10 dollars or less.
- Or, a movie.
- Or a movie.
And now it's kind of turned into like,
or a small toy item of your choice
that's under 10 dollars.
Like we're kind of expanding on ideas
because he got a lot of fidget spinners
(laughs)
and now he's going for movies.
And it's awesome,
because the house is quiet, because they're watching movies,
but the kids have put in effort
that they're proud of and happy about.
Jakey picked a movie that he thought Parker would like.
He picked Paw Patrol,
because he wanted to make Parker happy and comfortable
with the movie choice.
It was so sweet.
- And now his room is set up like a movie theater.
I'll show you.
This is the toy closet in the boy's room.
Did you guys make a movie theater?
- Yeah.
- So it even has a curtain that they pulled up
so they can watch a movie.
That's awesome.
Not only did they donate a giant bag
of stuff, but they're being quiet and letting us work,
and they're taking care of each other
and being nice to each other.
- They're so sweet.
- It's the best.
- My hair's doing this again.
You can tell I've been moving the house
when my hair starts doing that.
- Same.
- I wish your hair did that.
I wish Christopher had hair bits that went out to here.
- So when I was in high school,
I tried to slick my hair back.
That was like a thing that I was trying to do.
I had a big tub of stuff, it was gross,
that I put in my hair.
- It smelled good, like watermelon.
- And but what would happen is only the top would stay
plastered to my head,
and I'd have these bozo side things going on.
(clown horn)
'Cause not only did I not know how to brush my hair,
I also did not know how to ask for my hair cut.
It was bushy and then not.
Skull cap.
- That's how you reeled me in.
- Yeah, it works.
Go for the bozo look guys.
I'm telling you.
Look who woke up.
It's Duncan.
(baby cooing)
Yeah, that's a squeaky noise.
It seems like you're almost gonna cry,
but I'm hoping you don't.
I'm gonna bounce you a little bit.
A little bouncy rock.
That's a good model pose you got going there.
A little blue steel.
Duncan's awake, and that means that,
well first of all, he's gonna eat some food.
You hungry?
Yep, that's what I thought.
And then we might go to Ikea to pick up some dressers
that we need for our bedroom,
so that we can organize stuff.
Right now we're kind of in this place
where we don't have furniture,
and we don't have all the shelves and drawers
that we need to store everything.
So we need to do a quick Ikea run, I think.
What do you think?
Do you want to go to Ikea?
You don't even know.
You don't even know what Ikea's like.
It's crazy.
It's a crazy place.
Do you want to go check it out?
Still sleepy?
Yeah, me too.
That's how I feel after a nap.
I'm sleepy still.
Leave me alone.
So I was all excited because I thought
it was gonna be Duncan's first time ever
at our Ikea, and it turns out that it's everyone's
first time at our Ikea,
because our Ikea changed locations.
And I had no idea.
- It's really strange.
Christopher and I have been going to this Ikea
for like 15 years.
- Yes, since we were in college.
- Since we were in college.
And we just drove up, we just followed our navigation
and showed up at a completely different Ikea.
- But it's very close to where the old one was.
So it's like, what, where are we,
why does everything look so different?
It's totally different.
- It is massive and totally different,
and we had no idea.
- So we're gonna experience it
for the first time with Duncan.
Uh-oh.
- [Jessica] Come on, oh you guys.
- You have to push the button.
(elevator dings)
We just missed the elevator.
- Look how big this elevator is.
- [Christopher] We could have a dance party in here.
- Dance party.
(groovy dance music)
(elevator dings)
- Okay, elevator dance party is done.
We have to look really calm
for when the doors open and other people look at us.
(mellow elevator music)
Oh, here we are at Ikea.
Are you excited about Ikea?
- Yeah.
- [Christopher] Do you remember going to Ikea
when you were little?
- Nuh-uh.
- [Christopher] Do you remember this store?
- Yeah, I love it.
- [Christopher] You love it?
Are you excited to be here today?
- Yeah.
- [Christopher] Don't you just love Ikea?
All the sights that you can see?
All the cool displays?
(laughing)
I'm really worried we're gonna lose Bailey
on this trip, because she's got her head in a book.
And she's just gonna wander into some living room
sit down, and we'll just lose her.
- Reading Land of Stories again?
You guys know that Land of Stories is really good,
though so, I think they understand where Bailey
is coming from.
- But we're in the land of furniture.
Well let's go to the second story.
Yes!
(groovy dance music)
(yells)
Oh oh we stopped.
No one will ever know.
So far at this new Ikea,
we have had two elevator dance parties
and have seen zero furniture.
(lively tropical music)
- [Christopher] So we have a very specific furniture plan
for our living rooms,
that do not include any of these couches.
But it's hard to kind of like walk through here
and see all the couches, and not take them all.
- The couch that you were talking about.
It's right there.
- [Christopher] That's the couch I was talking about?
- Yeah, I can lay down on it.
- [Christopher] You like this couch?
- I'm snug as a bug in the couch.
- [Christopher] Snug as a bug in the couch?
- Jacob lie down over there,
then we'll be snuggly.
This is a cozy couch.
- [Christopher] Did you find a Parker chair?
- Yep, it's all yellow for me, nobody else.
- This one's soft, I like this one.
- [Christopher] How tall is this stack of stuff here Parker?
How tall is it?
- Um six.
- [Christopher] 36?
- Yeah.
- [Christopher] Good to know.
Watch the lamp, you ready?
You ready?
(dramatic classical music)
(gasps)
How cool is that?
(dramatic classical music)
- Bailey, wanna see something cool about this lamp?
(dramatic classical music)
- Whoa.
- What?
That's, I was not expecting that.
- [Christopher] Were you expecting it?
- [Jessica] Yes.
- [Christopher] Yep, not phased.
(funky playful music)
- I think I like this house, don't you think?
Don't you think that you like this house?
I do.
Do you?
- It's a bathroom.
- Oh, never mind then.
I like this mirror.
The other mirror.
Oh a bedroom.
- [Christopher] It's pretty modern looking.
- [Jacob] It's pretty good.
- Yeah, I think they have different cupboards maybe.
- [Jacob] Hey.
Nice sink, nice other sink.
- This is the bathroom.
(yells)
(jazzy playful music)
- This is fun.
- Bailey there are no lions or witches in there, okay?
So don't even think about it.
(laughs)
You read too many books.
For the record, I don't think Bailey reads
too many books.
I think she reads the right amount of books.
- I read the most books.
♫ Hey oh
♫ Hey oh oh
- In the past I've coem to this Ikea
or the Ikea in this town,
and it's always out of the thing that I want,
and now this storeroom is crazy huge,
like I can't capture how big it is on camera.
So hopefully they have what I'm looking for this time.
Hi, let's talk about what we learned today.
(guitar strumming)
We learned which movie theater my kids
like to go to best.
We learned what my family secretly does
while we're alone in an elevator.
And finally we learned how Bailey likes
to entertain herself, while she's waiting
for her parents to shop.
Thanks for watching everybody.
We'll see you next time.
(laughing)
