.. where Ikea and Undu discuss the importance of miniature cows and drink lemonade

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

few days ago me and Undu discussed the important matter of miniature cows. If u didn’t know yet – then Undu has one in his sheep-coat pocket, somehow. Apparently, he likes cows a lot. So we took some time to discuss how miniature cows have changed his views on things in general and what he is planning to do when the snow comes down. He says he would like to become a snowballfighter, but shh.. it’s a bit secret for now! And we tried this new thing called lemonade from my friend, Limpa.

I can tell u right now that Limpa is a pig, who makes lemonade. He has different kind, but this one in black and yellow cans is one of my favorites. You know why – because it is in a can! i don’t like the lemonades in the bottles, because they are a bit too tall for drinking. YES – even for me, a giraffe! Very hard to drink from, in fact. So instead i like my lemonade canned. And cold – from refrigerator. Refrigerator is something that is used for keeping lemonades cold, most of the time. And ice-cream, of course too! Except this one time when Angel was fiddling with the computer (again!) and electricity went away and all lemonade was warm and ice-cream melted and Teddies were happy because they could eat (drink) ice-cream that time (because they can’t eat cold stuff because they get sore throats that way). But that’s really only once and later we learned it was not Angels fault, it was the men working outside on the street.
These are the kind of stories that we were talking about with Undu – when talking about the importance of these miniature cows, small pockets and drinking lemonade. What kind of stories come to your mind when drinking lemonade? Let me know! Have fun and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea gets stuck in snowstorm

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

well i have to tell u what happened last weekend! it all started with spring outside and Undu saying that he is going for a walk outside. It’s nothing unusual because with all this sunshine and spring-looking weather, I was pretty sure he will go sheeping. Which is lots of fun for the likes of Undu, as i understand. in fact, we had been observing the weather from the window for some time now, so we had reliable data that it is all very nice. after many hours however, Angel suggested someone should go and check where Undu is. Because after all, he is from countryside and we live more close to the city area. So, I went to discover that Undu…

… stuck in snow!! luckily, he had his sheep costume! it is really really mysterious where this snowstorm came from with all this sunshine and spring outside! very mysterious…
this however was only just beginning, because right after i had found Undu, i got very much stuck in snow myself!

with a little fight i managed to get into a bit of shade under an edge of snow. not much help, i’m afraid..

but i must say that if we factor out the wind, snowstorms are generally lots of fun. because of the snow, u know! i managed to take fotograf of me where there is just the snow part of the snowstorm and no wind, check it out:

it’s all good fun! well, right until it starts melting, hehe! but, back to the story; so, now we were stuck in snowstorm, both Undu and me! luckily, within few minutes of being stuck it just so happened that my friend Sipsik came by! very good timing, i must say. so, we were rescued from being stuck in snowstorm and taken on a ride on a pram, hehe! i have made a fotograf also below. pram-riding is very much fun, i can tell u that! i think i will need to write about pram riding more in detail, when we get a chance to do it more properly. that is, not being wet at the same time!! so, i will now go and ask my friend Sipsik about scheduling one of these rides. but u – let me know about your fun happenings and if u have been stuck in snow recently? have fun and cu l8r!

Ikea’s top 5 places for hide-and-seek

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

as u know, most of all i like to travel and take fotografs. but right now i cannot go outside because of this big lake that is around our house. this lake is from the rain and a that big pile of snow that is melting. they say it will be a bit colder soon, so there is possible to go skating, maybe. but as of right now, i should not go outside. because i may get cold. well, i have not had any cold myself, but other giraffes that i have been talking that a cold is not a very nice thing to have. especially for giraffes  - because of the long neck, u know. so therefore, i can’t go out and have to stay inside.

so what is there to do inside a house? lots of things. especially number one is to play games. and the number one game that we play usually is hide-and-seek, as u may know. however, there is not much to take fotografs of, i’m afraid – while playing. because everyone is hiding, and u can’t see much, hehe! so instead, let me introduce to you my top places for hiding! well, they are not MY places, because for example Angel is usually hiding in the bamboo basket. but they are my TOP places of everyone’s places for hiding u see.

so here it goes.

#5 – In The Big Black Bag

Ikea the Giraffe in Ikeas top 5 places for hide and seek

or in the Gray one. or any large bag, really! bags do come in handy when playing hide and seek, don’t u think? also, the Big Black Bag is the favorite hiding place from my friend Undu. unless of course he is hiding in the balcony, hehe! because he has a sheep costume, u know, it’s really warm with that on the balcony, it seems to me.

#4 – Under the Pillows

Ikea the Giraffe in Ikeas top 5 places for hide and seek

guess what – we have lots and lots and lots of pillows! pillows are really really good for hiding, that’s why they come right in the 4th place. usually, my friend Sipsik finds the teddies under the pillows. but pillows are really good for hiding some other stuff as well. like the other day, i discovered a postcard with a giraffe on it under the pillows. so, pillows are not only good for hiding, but also for discovering things!

#3 – In The Bamboo Basket

hehe, i think u already know why the bamboo basket is great for hiding!! Because it has a LID! That’s great news. Because u can almost lift the lid up and still be hiding. But of course, we always spot Angel when he is in the bamboo basket. Because he is white!! and also the fact that he almost always hides in there. So that’s why bamboo basket is on the third spot – it’s is very difficult to get there before Angel does!!

#2 – In The Washing Machine

the washing machine is almost my number one favorite place to hide. for two reasons. first, nobody ever guesses that i’m there. Except Undu sometimes. Or Angel. and secondly, it is usually always available. of course sometimes it is not, when my friend Sipsik is washing some clothes. But then we usually decide to play something else.
Well, not always of course, because there are still other gr8 places to hide. Especially the mysterious number one spot:

#1 – and the winner is – Inside The New Cupboard!

Ikea the Giraffe in Ikeas top 5 places for hide and seek

jei! the new cupboard is the best place to hide, ever. or at least for a few weeks now. for example, there are so many drawers to hide (three). then each of these drawers has lots and lots of space for hiding. well except recently, it is full of some clothes, but still lots of room! for example, this one time that we played hide-and-seek, everybody hid in the cupboard!! and it was still quite difficult to find everybody, i must say. but the cupboard is really, really nice!! so, right now it is very much at the top of my hiding list, hehe!
also, recently we have found that it is even more fun to play in the dark!! so u don’t need to hide at all. well, i do – because of my big eyes.

what are your favorite places to hide when playing? let me know in comments!! have fun and cu l8r!
