Lovestruck hares and IKEA

Yesterday we left work a bit early and went to IKEA to pick up some baby stuff. As we were (carefully) getting the car out of the garage we saw a quite funny sight.

We quite often have one or two hares running around in the garden and now it seems like they are a bit high on "spring feelings" and not quite aware of what's going on around them. As I was walking across the parking lot one of them came running towards me and when it finally saw me it got quite scared and turned around. Then the next one came running, saw me and the car Dave was reversing and got scared and froze. The first one came running again and all of a sudden they both took a leap and crashed in mid-air! Quite a sight! Then they took of and we wished we had had a camera to capture the funny sight! ;-)

IKEA was as always quite energy consuming even though it was pretty quiet. Finally we had decided on what cot we wanted and went to the counter to order it. Then it turned out we also had to pick matress (didn't expect there to be much choice) so we had to go back to the baby-section, squeeze a few samples and then we decided on one. We also bought a duvet.
Hope the piglet will like its bed and sleep well! Dave didn't think much of the sheets IKEA had though so we'll try to buy that somewhere else. The check-out queue was not very long at all but it seemed to be the slowest in the world, but we did get to pay in the end and then we went to pick up the bed.

We have decided to wait with putting it up since we don't have that much space in our little flat, but at least we have bought it now. One thing to cross off the list.

The littlun won't sleep in the cot straight away though ...? we had a nice day at Bluewater. I bought 2 white cotton blankets for the pram and will get some other stuff later.
Sounds like those hares were 'boxing' - I think it's a characteristic of theirs ... or am I thinking of kangaroos?
