Ikea Carnival Day

Carnival friday, Ikea store organizes for all the week long (18-26 february) everyday, marionette shows, sweets (frittelle and chiacchere), masque show, kids make up, so I tell Momi if she wants to amuse a little and get masqued we can take the bus in the main town plaza and go Ikea, today she has no kindergarden because is holiday, it is sunny and hot enough, the perfect day to go around ^___^
I dress Momichan with her Zorro costume, take a bag of confettis and we go out in the sun to the bus stop. We arrive around 15.00 PM, there are three girls who will make the show and make up kids so Momichan sit on a chair in front of one of them and ask for a butterfly ^O^ GEEEEE !!! the lady makes a cute pink butterfly and after she put on a dark pink glitter powder, the result is really fantastic. She tells us we have to wait a little for the marionette show so we buy a coffee (for me) and a snack (Momi asks for fries !) at the coffee corner and we go around the store to find the new cute spring articles and Momi plays around jumping on beds and entering inside the displays of little houses, bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens.
I had told about this idea two or three mums at kindergarden so I am waiting at least one of them to come with the kids.
We start from the kid zone, beds, toys, Momichan plays a little but she loves most to go where there is an entire example of small house all furnished with divided rooms for kid, parents, kitchen, livingroom, entrance, she runs around pretending is her house and telling me idea how to make our future new house. After 50 minutes more or less we come back to the restaurant zone for the marionette show and a voice calls me: one of the mum is arrived with her two kids, the smaller is the kindergarden in the Azure section in front of Momichan class, (Orange section), the other is in the first year of elementary school just on the other side of the kindergarden building, the bigger is dressed like Spiderman and the smaller has a male kimono jacket on with a kanji which represents "matsuri" (celebration, party). The three girls of Ikea mask start to involve the kids in some games and after the build a kind of little theatre and start to make the marionette show using the puppet sold in the store, it's a story about a crocodile, a cat, a lamb, a strawberry. Kids laugh, the story is not really so good but they amuse a lot.
By mistake Momichan has erased her fantastic butterfly so we ask one of the ladies to make another, she makes one yellow and pink and again she glitters it with silver paiettes WOW !
Granny has called me to tell she is in the nearby if I need a passage home, Momichan is happy to see granny and she wants to show her butterfly. While we wait the kids has to start the costume parade, they are so funny, there is a monster, a baby Tigger, Spiderman, a princess, a fairy, some kids without even a costume, just normal, a Zorro, a ninja, everyone comes in front of us and bows a little, Momichan is too shy and does not understand, she just runs to me HAHA, her two friends bow and come back, after every kid has showed they alltogather come in front of the parents for a final bow togather.
With her two friends and mum we decide to exit Ikea but before we all want a hot dog, kids are happy to get a hot dog, we get down at the ground floor and kids enter in a carriage while their mum pulls them, Momi is excited, I walk their side. As soon as we arrive the Swedish Corner and we get the hot dog, granny calls again, she is out already ! "Wait please, we have to finish hot dog, we are togather with friends" tells Momi, but we have to hurry, we say "hello" and we get out, granny is happy to see Momi and Momi shows her Zorro costume and butterfly all excited ^^
