.. where Ikea checks out snow figures in Kadriorg

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

hehe, welcome back! because i was going to tell u about what i did yesterday – i went to check out the snow figures that lots of people made on Sunday. i could not go to check them out on Sunday, because i was little occupied. Occupied is like busy but also u can’t go anywhere, like me. I was doing some giraffe stuff, u know, also. but i did go instead yesterday and met many fun snow figures. no snow tigers this time, i’m afraid. instead, i find this rabbit, hehe!

apparently there is also the year of rabbits of some sort coming up i think? so i tried asking this one, but no luck. because it was a snow rabbit. even i could understand that!

but there were also some other ones. like this guy here:

i don’t know what animal it is. do you? Undu says it could be a hedgehog, but i have seen hedgehogs and they don’t have a letter N on their belly. what do u think?

this one is more interesting. it’s an interesting penguin!! in fact, it was so interesting that all the time some kids were trying to hug it. so did i! as u can see, it is quite big one. so it can’t be the madagascar penguin. because they are all very small. more in the size of me, i’d say…

u know, there were quite a few snow figures, some of them i don’t have fotografs. so, after a while i got a little bit hungrig, as u can guess. luckily, there was this nice lady:

she’s rather nice, don’t u think? i mean, to have buns for free in the middle of whole park of snow figures. very nice! although i’m not a big fan of buns, these tasted really well. probably because they were so big.

and here’s me after the bun-eating episode. i take a little bit of rest on top of this cat. i like the eyes especially!
so, that’s it for now. because i need to go and work on this one mysterious other thing. until then let me know if u have seen any snow figures lately? if not, perhaps come around and check them out yourself? they are right here, in Kadriorg. 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

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

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!

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!

.. where Ikea discovers a bed with a giraffe on it

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

you don’t know what happened this one day! (i am going to tell u, in fact). so, last week, i had to go outside for some fun that i had in plan. im not sure what day it was, because, giraffes are not very good with their memory, u know. but i think it was friday? because most of the fun things i have planned for fridays. or mondays. so, it was either monday or friday. it was last week, that i know. so, i had to go out and then, come back. so when i came back, i had to go and ask if Angel was coming with me to do this other thing that is secret (of which i can’t exactly tell u right now). so what i discover in Angel’s room – a bed!! and more interestingly, a bed with a giraffe on it!!!!

i’d say this is a rather nice thing that can happen to you on friday, don’t u think? because, i can tell u one thing for sure – i did not assemble it this time. because i did not have any such manual. i have still not received any comments from teddies yet, but they are not much into beds these days, i’m afraid. so, it is quite mysterious how this bed got into Angels room in fact. Angel also says he does not know. he claims to have been playing hide-and-seek at the time. which is rather suspicious, as there were no-one else playing.
but, that’s not really important, i think. the best thing is, that there is a new bed with a giraffe on it in our home. i have tested it for some nights now, and it is really comfortable. even for giraffes, like me. it’s much bigger actually than necessary and my friend Sipsik says, it is not actually for me. perhaps we all need to fit in this new bed? it is actually quite possible, because so far, for example Undu has been sleeping in the bookshelf. and that’s not so comfortable, i can tell u! in fact, i have planned questioning my friend Sipsik in the matter of this bed and the giraffe, but i have been a little busy. so, until i find out, let me know if you have seen any gr8 things with a giraffe on it recently? perhaps u can even post some fotografs? let me know in comments!! tack! have fun and cu l8r!!
